Big Game Hunting > Deer Hunting
Working man raffle tag winner
Terminalist:
I drew the North Central Washington raffle tag (which is good for any 200GMU mule deer hunt from September 1 through December 31). I am a working man and didn't stack the box like we know some guys do, which also means I can't hunt as long as I would like to not being retired.
Desert 290 rut sounds incredible, but the uniqueness and possible upside of gambling on weather and a migration hunt in Entiat 247, Swakane 250, Mission 251 etc. sounds like once in a lifetime. I am not asking for a spot, I am trying to understand the migration since no one ever gets these dates to hunt and it is impossible to get information on them.
How often is there enough snow to push the deer out of the Cascades before December 31? I'm hoping to better my best buck which currently is a heavy mid 190's buck.
-PM's are also welcome

Congrats on a sweet tag, enjoy every minute of it!

Let’s see a pic of the hog you speak of. A 200 inch deer is doable but I wouldn’t get your hopes up. The areas you speak of just aren’t what they used to be. I would personally hunt the rut regardless of the snow….the big bucks will be easier to find as they will be chasing does. Just my two cents. Good luck and make sure to post success photos.

Hunt 290 until you kill a masher or the weather shows up in Entiat. Then spend some time in the Entiat. Good luck

Congrats on your draw! Please let us know what you turn up.
As stated, I would try 290 in Nov and 247 or others in Dec.
