NE WA whitetail
« on: September 20, 2018, 02:36:33 PM »
Hello everyone-
Been taking a look at a unit in NE WA for modern firearm, and just looking for some insight.

I’m not going to name any specific places because I’ve gotten criticized in the past for naming names and bringing attention to a place others weren’t necessarily  considering...

Regardless if you have experience in this area please PM me I’d love to shoot a couple questions off you.

Thanks!

If you're talking about October, I'd reccomend saving your time for later in the year if you can.

Rough month for Whitetail hunting.  If you haven't been to the NE, you should come knowing that all the good public land whitetail areas are thick and green with few exceptions.  I can't tell how many people I meet who are amazed at how dense it is compared to their former understanding of "Eastern Washington"

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I’m  a pretty novice hunter but have spent some time up there.  I probably have more questions than anyone.  Public land can be pretty thick, a lot is close to roads so even when you think your “off trail” 4 wheelers go blasting by.  A lot of deer but finding a spot to pattern a buck constantly takes time and then come oct pressure will move them around.

If you have ever been to a Seahawks game, that will give you an idea of how many people you will run across. get as far from the roads as you can and you be able to avoid the crowds.

I have more than 15sq. miles behind my property that is open to the public and last year was the first person in many years I have seen another hunter.. Why??, because it’s walk in only.

I've seen more animals on my 4 wheeler than I have walking. I lived there for 16 years.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

More animals sure, but quality bucks I doubt. No offense.

They smart critters.  We have seen some great bucks in the 101 but its a glimpse at night mostly.  Only 1 of us ever got a shot off hunting, a miss.  Game pics prove they are up there.  Just avoid wolves and get isolated away from roads in dense draws it seems.??  Of course that was in Sept so pretty difficult.
MAGA!  Again..

There was no mention of quality bucks, so your answer is mute..
