not to piss in your pot but 2 total days and muzzy? leave for nevada early:yeah:
A day in, A day out... that leaves you about 15-20 minutes to hunt. It is doable?

Exactly.
hate to burst your bubble but most guys that hunt the Wenaha for a week only see a handful of deer. You could get lucky though.

That's my experience. A day in, another day out. If you go in and find your deer this summer I think I would hike in 2 or 3 days before the season to locate him again. Sounds like you are going to have to kill him on opening day or eat the tag. Good luck.

thanks for the pic not that worried about eating my tag i got 5 others and a couple elk tags just want another wkend in the hills. Dont get to hunt my home state very many days each yr just trying to make the most of the tag and lack of time thanks guys.not a very big unit juast trying to find a starting point since i wont be able to get up there much I got some better tags to scout I know this is not a prime tag
If you don't appreciate the opportunity you got to hunt there, you shouldn't have put in for it. Lots of other people would give their left nut to hunt that unit with that tag. Sounds like you could care less.
:twocents:
Sorry if I sound like a jerk.

I agree. A little frustrating to read isn't it. People who put in just to put in... Then the rest of us get screwed and a tag is wasted. And it happens all the time!

Don't worry guys the tag isn't a wasted one. Two days is plenty of time for him to shoot a buck. He's proven that many times before.Sure hope you're right and we get to see the results! The place I'd hunt with that tag I couldn't physically get to in two days. I'd go 1/2 way, camp, go the rest the next day; same coming out. That's with horses carrying my gear and me leading them. Hopefully he is a lucky guy!

2 days in that unit? Good luck with a muzzy.. not sure you could get it done with a rifle.

That don't look to bad :chuckle: :chuckle: Just hope it dies before it looks at the bottom :bash:
The bottom is where you want to be but I hope you have help and/or hay burners with you. Maybe you should just go those two days to learn the country, although it would be smart to go ahead and take your ML for the cougars, bears and wolves.

i put in for 30 plus deer and elk tags a year there are bound to be conflicts .I spend hundreds of hours a yr planning my hunts. There is no way to avoid conflicts at times and I hate to brake it to u even though wanaha is a draw tag in washington it is no better than many over the counter tag in many other states out west.Before someone says it no I am not some rich guy just paying people to find me a deer I am a tinbender that hunts hard and spends my extra time and money on hunting not fancy trucks and big houses.I hunt and scout 40 to 70 days a yr on my own hunts and helping others find there animals.Quite frankly this is not the reasponce I thought I would get on the washington forum even though I do admit I could have worded my first reasponce a little better.Sounds like you have a real dilema :chuckle: :chuckle: you are living my dream! Keep living it!! Thanks you

I would say Wenaha doesn't even hold a candle to most other western states general hunts. I hunt it because I love it up there, I grew up in that country. If I were hunting it because I thought it was my best chance in WA. at a good buck I'd be crazy.
