I was just wondering if anybody was planning on hunting it General season MF,
maybe I could stop by your camp for a cup of coffee and compare notes.
My permit is for Nov. 1st-24th, so I could keep an eye out for late buck (season overlap) and any nice bucks I cannot get close to.......
:dunno:

My family has a cabin on Benson Lake in unit 633, I thought about staying there and hunting up near Cushman, but I most likely wont be using it as I figured to keep an eye out for Elk to hunt after my permit expires.
So I will (most likely) be near Wynoochee , but am not committed to any spot. (yet)

The whol;e unit holds big BT's and it should be a great opp at a nice buck with your trad bow hunting during the rut. The first 10 days of Nov will be your best shot in there. One year ( i think 3 yrs ago) I hunted the modern season with archery tackle up in the national forest and didnt see but only a couple other hunters.
When the snow flies it can get really good. A few years ago I was up around 2000 ft and got into a crazy snow storm that put down about 10 inches in only a few hours, then it started to thunder like crazy. There was about a three hour window in the weather and it was the best hunting I have ever seen, the deer were all of the sudden EVERYWHERE which goes to show how many deer are actually in the woods that I never see. I was able to put my tag on a doe that day...I think it was first week in December. By late archery most of the rutting activity is over. I've talked to a lot of locals who hunt the area and not suprisingly they say Halloween is the best day, most of them just sit and watch the edge of cuts and are able to get bucks with modern tackle.
I think you should have a good hunt, its a good tag to have.

I have a good spot located, only a few does, but after seeing a couple fresh rubs, I think I might get onto something.
