where to hunt WA. mulies

Hey, awesome site!! I have become obbcessed with the opportunity to harvest a stud mulie buck!!! I live in western washington and have only hunted blacktail. My son (Nick 13 yr) Is my favorite hunting partner. And this fall we are gonna try mulie hunting!! Only problem is I have not a clue on where to go. Some where in central or eastern wa I guess. If anyone has any info that would help us find a good spot with a chance at a couple nice 4x4's we'd be very thankful. It could save us a couple 3 years or so if someone could put us on the right road,ridge,trail, etc. You can sent me a private message if you want. Help!! Thanks CD

creepingdeath, I want to start off my sayin' welcome to the site and good luck! I am from Eastern Washington and working over here in Western Washington. I can tell ya that a lot of the really good areas that I know of are mostly private land or draw units and most of the public land is pretty crowded. Tough to find that perfect spot that ain't hunted hard and has quality deer in it.
With that being said, it certainly can be done. My brother and I (My oldest son will be with us this year) hike in as far away from the roads as possible. This generally will seperate us from most of the road hunters, ATVs, and general population. We generally hunt the Blue Mountains in SE WA or hike into the Grande Ronde area. Pretty rough country and a pain in the rear when trying to get something out but its doable. Ya gotta be in shape though!
If you have more specific questions, please PM me.

I grew up in Chelan county. The Douglas county side of the river is mostly private ground but there are some small pieces of public ground that get lots of pressure. There are lots of deer on Badger mountain but if you don't know a landowner it's pretty tough to hunt. The Chelan county side of the river is mostly public land. There are giant canyons and breaks coming off the Columbia river. Swakane canyon, Entiat, Slide Ridge, these are some of the better areas to concentrate on. The general season is usually very dry and the deer are all local deer not the big migrators that would start to trickle in at the tail end of october. These areas also get a lot of pressure. (the entire east side does) That being said if you get away from the roads there are deer to be found.
