Hunting Washington Forum

Just got back from Colfax area for three days trying to fill this tag. Things are really bleak. saw two whitetails the entire time. both bucks on private land I didnt have access to. No does. Nothing before or after shooting light. Farmers are saying they got hit really hard this year by BT and I believe it. I was glassing up piles of bones in the creek bottoms. Based on the sign I was seeing the deer that are left are very nocturnal right now. Not saying there weren't WTs around, but they were not showing themselves. The pheasants had a bumper crop this year tho.

I might just stow the rifle and pull out the shotgun from here on haha. 

Activity was basically zero for me late season. I went from seeing does and bucks daily to seeing nothing.

That's a great story and a great pic of your real trophy! I took my wife hunting ONE time.(early 1970's) Well we went up a canyon, switched sides going though the bottom to the other side. As we started up that side she said she needed to "Go" you know PEE! I pointed at a huge rock (20'x20') and said that's a good place. Needless to say she didn't like the answer! So, I stood guard and shielded her from all pepping toms.
We then started the climb out of the canyon bottom. soon I was carrying her coat, rifle and tugging her up the
canyon till we got to the top. She is a GREAT wife, love her from her head to her toes! But she just gives me a kiss and a hug and waves as I drive away to hunt!
