RE: washington mule deer
Sorry pup but the muleys around here are few and far between. I live in Wenatchee but I deer hunt by Tonasket (Lake Bonaparte). I' ve shot 1 whitetail and 3 muleys up there so I' d say your odds are better just heading West a hundred miles or so. Most of the land around there is public too.
However, if you have some spare Whiteys up there you need help getting rid of and nothing happens for me during general season, give me a call! ;-)
P.S. This 6x7 whitetail came from " somewhere" in that area ;p
