Hunting in Yakima (Need Advice)
« on: October 03, 2009, 12:00:13 AM »

So on the 21st of October I am headed over to the Yakima areas (Area 372,379 & 278) to do some deer hunting. Unfortunately I can't get over there earlier because of work. However I need some help on where about in those areas would be a good area to hunt? I normally hunt in Winthrop but can't this year because after I hunt for 2 days I'm heading over to Clear-water River in Idaho to do some Steelhead fishing. So can someone tell me what kind of deer I can expect over there Whitetail or Mule? Or any helpful advice you might have about where to hunt in those areas? Anything would be a big help. If I don't get my buck in that area than I might do some more hunting in the Polmeroy area on my way to Idaho because in that area Deer Hunting is open tell the 30th of October. Also I have my Bear and Cougar tag so can I expect to see either of those over in the Yakima Area? This is my first year I haven't gone out scouted and I'm kinda winging it this year. Which is not normally my style. So anyways I hope one of you hunter can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, and Good Luck to all of you this Deer Season.

Best advise i can give is "hunt Winthrop". The deer herd in Yakima has reduced so much the last few years that with out plenty of scouting, it would be more of a camping trip then hunting.

Mule deer are the resident deer herd in yakima.

PM Bone, he knows that area pretty well
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!
