I'm sure you'll find a lot of people who know a lot more about that unit than me. I did manage to find a milk sucker to stick my tag on though.  :tup:

I did home work and the 61-62 unit in WY holds some flat ass monster bulls !! It’s a wilderness and non res are required to hunt with a outfitter. In the desert unit the last hunt is after everyone else has been there. The big ducks are more on guard even in the rut. But you have a lot less hunters. They get pushed into the reserves and private property. The sage is short and some tall. My buck was in the tall sage away from all the trees. To many hunters ther. The sage was up to 6-7 ft tall. Lot’s of trails in the sage. Played PAC Man with him before he finished made the mistake. He was in rut and had 10-12 does with him. Some of you PM’ed me and I sent you my #. Happy to help any one who got drawn

Great tag to have, my first choice also, but no luck. I accompanied  a friend two years ago who had the early rifle desert unit tag. Saw lots of deer, but the does were all on high alert, difficult to stalk without being busted. He did not fill his tag due to work commitments and missed opportunities. He had some chances at nice bucks, would not take a 4-500 yard shot, and stalking was futile. Several campgrounds in the area, one near Winchester waste way, north side of I-90, mid point of the unit, near Dodson road, or Potholes state park, Sunrise resort in Moses Lake, or another one along the lake in Moses Lake. The rut tag is definitely the tag to have, helps keep the bucks distracted. As stated earlier A and C roads get most of the pressure. Dodson road and Adams road are also good access points into the unit. Lots of Russian olive brush and cattails for the deer to hide in, but also a lot of open sagebrush to glass and hike. Lots of sand, so hiking gets tiring, get in good shape, and you will enjoy the hunt. Several of my friends guide in this unit, one helped a client get a 180 buck in there last fall. I can get you info if you want.

If you have a camper you can stay at a area about 2 mi south on the Dodson road. It has a restroom. There you are real close to where I got mine.. if I don’t have anything going on with work I’d be happy to go over with you on the hunt for a second set of eyes

Decent last day meat buck there. Better than eating a tag I guess! :chuckle:
