Title: Cowiche Quality Buck
Post by: tvandy45 on June 11, 2025, 06:32:20 AM: So this year, like every other year I threw in the towel for drawing anything that would get me excited given my mid level points and history of drawing squat. So my strategy was to simply pick ones that I had minimal chance of drawing and plan on going with the general season.

In my inbox I get an email saying contgrats you drew the Cowiche Quality rut tag! Now...i'll be honest, i didnt even know where Cowiche was up until about 10 minutes ago.

I'm going to give it hell this year but would love to chat with any previous tag holders to see where to begin given that I haven't ever stepped foot in the unit or knew even knew where it was on the map.

DMs are open and very much appreciated!

I've never killed a mule deer before so a respectable buck is all i'm looking for!

@buglebuster, are there any closed roads out Tampico or Cowiche Mill Road?
