How many GMU's do you hunt? For deer or elk?
« on: January 10, 2011, 01:36:38 PM »
I reported my hunting for deer and elk and think that asking for only 2 GMU's is not a very accurate way of sizing up how much and where the hunting is going on...  For elk I only hunted 2 GMU's this year... In the past I've hunted 3... All near each other.. This year i hunted in 5 GMU's for deer...  I'm just curious how many of you hunt lots of different areas... I am a Archery hunter so there are areas that i go to when one area closes....
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

My 2 main hunting areas are right where 3 gmu's come together. So that's six right there plus I wander a little during deer season.

Hm....  HUNT, or SCOUT?  And, where I Bear hunt is not necessarily where I Deer hunt.  If I'm fishing.. I'm hunting. If I'm hunting for Grouse, I'm hunting/scouting anything else that might be in the area.

I can only hunt one GMU each for deer and elk, because the bad limit is one so I can never hunt a 2nd GMU.

OK, bad joke.

I tend to concentrate my efforts on only a couple GMUs each for deer and elk.

I scout several for all species-

  Actual hunting. It depends on the year, how much game I see in the areas hunted, land closures etc... I tend to roam more for deer than elk. Usually 1 unit maybe 2 for elk. And minimum of 2-3 for deer. This year I hunted at least 6-7 different gmus for deer. But focused my time in 3.

I think the responses back up my thinking about GMU use...  I also find that when i go visit the in laws Its great to toss in the bow and go for a morning still hunt  while most everybody is sleeping in.. I live near unit 407 and My In laws live in the battle ground unit (Vancouver) Both of those have a lengthy late season..
