Title: okanogan east unit
Post by: Bigshooter on December 19, 2007, 08:12:38 PM: Just wondering if anybody has hunted the okanogan east unit (204). Are there a ton of whitetails in there. What about mule deer numbers? Any info you can give would be great. How much public ground is there? Thanks

Go look at my pictures i posted in the 2007 deer season gallery....I don't see much white tails cause i'm usually high up in the mountains, but We got some pretty nice mulies....check'em out..

Post by: mossback91 on January 03, 2008, 10:30:04 PM: There are a crapload of whitetails in this unit which really hurts the mule deer herd and what it could be. Takign up the winter feeding are all year long is very bad.
