Washington Deer Unit 243

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Washington Game Management Unit 243.

Deer in GMU 243 push you into severe country: this Manson unit hangs on the serrated crest of Sawtooth Ridge, dropping nearly 8,000 vertical feet from roughly 9,000-foot alpine talus to the 1,100-foot shore of Lake Chelan. We map where deer live it: high, water-tethered alpine basins and larch benches in early heat, mid-mountain benches between about 4,500 and 6,500 feet at the frost transition, then the sun-warmed bitterbrush and bunchgrass slopes above Manson once snow drives them low. The pack covers Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access (Grade Creek Road, wilderness boundaries), and a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
