first bow hunt

Hi there, I am not only going on my first bow hunt but also my first deer hunt. I am really excited but am having trouble finding any mule deer in my area. I am from Eastern Washington, and did not get drawn for anything. So can anyone help me out with any ideas. Getting anxious and it's coming up quick.

Call your local fish and game/wildlife dept! They are usually pretty good at giving out some ideas and have a vested interest in your success as a return customer for next year. The state website may even have some links that provide some info, good luck!

Hey bud, just as numbnutz mentioned, I am also from Eastern WA.

I really can't answer your question without some additional information though. Whereabouts in E WA are you, what portion of the state are you lookin' to hunt in, are you chasing Mule Deer or Whitetail, do you have reliable transportation, and are you lookin' to hike into a more remote area or are you lookin' for something else?

If you do not feel comfortable sharing this information in the public forum you can PM me.

GOOD LUCK!
