Two great bucks living in the middle of spokane

[lucky33]

I just happened to spot two monster whitetails living in a patch of ''woods'' not bigger than acre  north of northwest blvd. and ash in spokane. The were bedded right next to the road, but VERY well hidden. Amazing....  I had turkeys come through the parking of my office three blocks north of the  courthouse a few weeks back.  They all seem to make a good living here.

They sure can make themselves comfortable in Suburbia.

How can you tell they're 'Monsters' yet?

They have already branched out into 5 points, and the tines are 5-6'' already. That is ALOT of growth for being only May.

Right on the curve by the little spring?

Let's go get em. There's also a pretty good sized turkey flock on the south hill off of southeast blvd.

That is impressive,

I guess with an easy lifestyle with low snow and good nutrition that'll happen a lot sooner.

I've ran across this bunch I think.

Only turkeys around Spokane that I could hit with my bow

The bigger bucks are showing it already. The 150 class buck I killed in 2010 was a 5 point by mid may that year.

That is about 3 blocks from my office. May have to grab the camera and take a little walk at lunch. Thanks for the info 
I have never seen a deer around my office. Coyotes and a Moose, but no deer. LOL

PS: didn't realize you were so close. I have that set of traditional archery books I mentioned on your bow thread. Would loan them to you if you are interested?

my wife saw a fawn in my neighborhood, just about a mile north of there, south of rowan, north of wellesley, between maple and monroe.  pretty out of place...  i'll tell my wife to watch out for deer on her way to work... she works off maple/NW Blvd 

[Skillet]

I remember seeing deer pretty frequently in that area too when I lived in Spokane - but no bucks that I can recall.  Mostly in the big park on the north side of NW Blvd.

Seen a turkey attack cars on the road to SFCC by the cemetary, a moose just behind Appleway Toyota in the valley, and I remember reports of black bears in Peaceful Valley, but never seen them myself.  Spokane is pretty "wild"!  har har...

Yes, for sure!! PM me. Im right over here on monroe.

I just went for a walk at lunch to that spot Lucky
No deer at noon, but there is some pretty thick stuff in there. The
Colville tribe is doing some major cleanup of the Drumheller park just above that spot and they had been through this am with some weedeaters.
Talked to a Gal that lives on the hill and she sees them all the time, and had a turkey there yesterday.
