Anyone notice the deer shooting trends?

[DoubleJ]

Seems like 90% of the "I shot a deer" threads are from us westsiders.  Is it just still too hot for eastsiders to be hunting or is the hunting that much better over there in late season?

[blacktailcody]

Yup I agree.

[sebek556]

maybe we are just pickier

More units are open for does in western Washington, and there is not a 3 point minimum antler point restriction.

There's no shortage of deer over here on the Eastside. It is a bit warm but that the norm, it's mostly a morning hunt right now. Up where I hunt and on my place the deer get really active around 7:30 in the evening and are usually moving to bedding areas right at or slightly before first light. The mature bucks you really have to pattern or be fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. Of course I'm speaking about open country, sage/canyon country. It takes some patients, skill with a little luck tossed in to make a successful stock on a bedded mature mule deer bedded in big open country.

It's so dry now, it's just flat noisy even stalking in sox. those big boys bed up on my place so they have the wind at their back and a good view. Way easier with a rifle.

Westsiders are just better...its obvious

Maybe you westsiders just jump the gun a little bit.  I have seen lots of deer posted, but no monsters yet, even by blacktail standards.  We will see which side of the state has more pigs to show at the end of the season.

Maybe it's cause you all stopped at Starbucks on the way home and decided use their wifi hotspot to post up the deer you "caught".


Half of the eastern portion of state doesn't even have the Internet yet.


Coasties....

Ah Hahaha!!Way to lean on them..

A lot of us eastsiders just hunt, kill, and don't post success on internet forums.  Many of us don't need an internet pat on the back to make ourselves feel better.

I guess us Coasties are just a little soft. What do you expect from a bunch of hipsters with rifles!

I had a buddy that dared to travel to "That" side of the mountains. He said he hit a black tail at about 40mph. Hit the brakes looked in the rear view and saw nothing so he kept going. He kept hearing a strange noise so he pulled over and stopped at the side of the road. He ended up prying that buck out of his brake pad. He said he was sure glad he found it, due to the fact he couldn't afford a Possesion Of Big Game Out Season ticket.

No... they just do not want us thinking that it is a better place to hunt over there...and it does not take that good of eyes to spot game from the road .....hahahahahahaha that should turn this thread around ......LMAO !!!
