Better stick to 340, unless you drew...

Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on July 21, 2010, 10:32:03 AM: Deer ?,
the only time I hunted Deer in 342 was the first time I got drawn for Observatory C for Elk (15 years ago), I was also drawn for an "any Buck" in 342, spent a couple days over there and got a small forked horn (2 pt)
Deer, saw a lot of Elk sign, but no elk, and very few hunters.
I took the deer in to Owens in Cle Elum, drove up to 340, and shot a spike (Elk) the next day.
I looked for Turkeys in the area back then too, but other than fishing at Lk. Wenas for browns, I haven't been back.
Sorry... :dunno:
