I drew that tag last year. First of all it's a huge unit. I would take a look at it's boundries as it covers pretty much from Coles Corner to the beginning of Entiat.
It's definately a rut hunt....almost a pre-rut hunt. The deer started ruttin' a little early up there last year, and with that extra week for general season they did REALLY well up there.
As for me, I was a little disappointed. With any of those tags over there my sights were set high. I hunted 4 days, off three, and back for 5 more. The first 4 days saw a coupla' decent bucks, but nothing I wanted to tag....but the deer were ruttin' pretty good. I thought it would only get better as the week went on.
Second trip back, first day was nothin' but blue skiies. Saw 14 doe and 4 two-points. The next four days was nothing but heavy heavy fog. Couldn't even hunt type of fog. To shortin this little story up I literally got an hour of decent hunting in on Sat. my last morning, and decided to take a 23" 3x3.
If you like to road hunt, then you'll love this unit....if you don't, like myself, then it can be a difficult unit to hunt. Your gonna see bucks in all those surrounding units, it's gonna be a matter of what your lookin' for. I would not waste my points on an area I did not know though....keep that in mind.
If you want any more specific ??'s PM me.
