I have yet to hear of any deer being found dead due to blue tongue around my area. The mt itself has many running streams,so it shouldnt have blue tongue. I have 3 cams out on mica peak still I have 25 different bucks or more between the 3...there is no lack of deer. This is one of the worst times to see whitetails October! not till late october will u see more activity

It might be the ticks, I killed my bull in 08 up there and the number of ticks on him was very high, pretty gross actually.

Just killed my cow.  Did not see any ticks.  Biologist said she was healthy with no worms.

It used to be all the misplaced moose that showed up in Spokane were transplanted to Mica. They always made the news and paper haven't seen that many report's so maybe those moose that got relocated are not finding their way back to town for what ever reason!! It may explain why the success ratio could be down as well.

Not one tick?  :yike:

That's unheard of-  (I think)

The cow my buddy killed up there was really healthy with no worms either.

  last weekend I met 4 guys named jeff and mike and one j and m got a cow on sat.  the other j and m got a cow on sun and both cow hunters gave us a ride out both days.   and both j and m are from Yakima.  kinda weird.  they were all nice guys and could shoot the bs.  we called it off for 3 weeks so the weather can cool.  the hill gets steeper every year.  mike w

I did not say no ticks. I said I did not see any. I felt around a little and of course I usually find some while skinning. But not on her. I am sure there were a few somewhere I just did not see any.

I'm more excited about hearing no worms than no ticks.

i don't see it as that bad.   It's a pretty steep pull,  but once  you're  up there it's a fun hunt and when you kill,  you make a call and drive right to it.

Just curious, when you draw the tag do they issue the number to call?
