Dont know much about the mission or entiat as far as resident deer numbers go.

We were sitting on the deck of the cabin, and were glassing over 30 deer, at least half were bucks across the valley in one sitting (across a 1 mile stretch). So I would say if you got the time off, and can tolerate the cattle in the forest, and of course the bald faced hornets, yeah Id hunt there.

Do those count the late archery tags though?

I was just looking at general season statistics. The special permits are separate.
