Cowiche Quality Buck
« on: June 11, 2025, 06:32:20 AM »
So this year, like every other year I threw in the towel for drawing anything that would get me excited given my mid level points and history of drawing squat. So my strategy was to simply pick ones that I had minimal chance of drawing and plan on going with the general season.

In my inbox I get an email saying contgrats you drew the Cowiche Quality rut tag! Now...i'll be honest, i didnt even know where Cowiche was up until about 10 minutes ago.

I'm going to give it hell this year but would love to chat with any previous tag holders to see where to begin given that I haven't ever stepped foot in the unit or knew even knew where it was on the map.

DMs are open and very much appreciated!

There is alot of deer around but don’t set your sites too high or you may be disappointed. That being said you should be able to find a respectable 4pt

I've never killed a mule deer before so a respectable buck is all i'm looking for!

That’s not really a mule deer area it’s bench leg territory. More so blacktail then mule deer.

I've heard there are some access issues and I need to dial those down myself.

 @buglebuster, are there any closed roads out Tampico or Cowiche Mill Road?

I have a quality elk muzzy tag.  I would be happy to share trail cam info with you.  Hunted there for several years.  Didn't see many banger bucks but we were pretty deep in.
