Watershed

[HoofsandWings]

I see there are permit hunts for watershed this time around.

They had them last year as well. I'm curious to see the success rates.

In 2011 it was 1 out of 5. I have heard the beginning of oct is to early for the watershed. Trying to find 2012 results

0 for 5 last year. My buddy had the tag last year and did not hunt it due to moving to Alaska.

They don't make deer big enough around here to go into that hole after em. That place has broken more than 1 hunter with a branch bull tag in his pocket.

Pansy.

I can live with that. You go right ahead my friend.

All of those Blues permits are a tough proposition with there not being a lot of deer. I learned that in 2010.  Got totally lucky in the Tucannon on the 1st buck we saw on day 3 of my hunt.

Very true and well timed weather can cut a lot of access.

Welcome to the pansy club my friend

Hunted in there about 3 years ago with my buddy that  had an elk tag, saw very little deer. Of course we had our minds set on elk so it wasn't like we were looking for them, but I found a shed in the wenaha about 6 years ago that was a pig of a deer.

Welcome to the pansy club my friend 

after a back surgery at 32 and having back knees, i'm PERFECTLY fine with that!   

and trophyhunt, my dad saw the biggest mulie buck he's ever seen on the rim of the shed about 15 years ago.  but still... i couldn't imagine humping a deer out of the bottom of that place!     even if you shot one on the rim, one wrong stumble and they'd roll ALL the way to the bottom!   

[jackelope]

I wouldn't mind humping a deer out of there. What I would mind is hunting for 5 or 7 days and never seeing a buck. That'd be my concern.
I love the idea of hunting late Blues buck permits so much that I will probably put in for them again this year. And I'll probably put in for a couple "Buck deer" category permits too.  I hate the idea that there's an acute lack of deer, that or they're just really difficult to find.
