2014 Late Archery

Looking for any input for a first time archer trying to get a nice buck out of the Eatonville or mossyrock areas, or really any area in Pierce County.  Thanks

No response?  Too hard a question I guess.  Tree stand on a trail that you have good doe traffic through? 

The next estrous for unbred does should be about 28 days after the main rut period - (if I remember correctly)  Bucks should still be hanging with the remaining hot does at that time - first or second week of December.  Doe bleats or perhaps light rattling may call in a buck for you at that time.

Alternatively, the National Forest lands just after a big snow might be worth a look.  A heavy snow may push some of the high bucks down to the snowline.  Tracks in the snow might just lead you to that buck you're after.

Me - I'd hunt in an area where I could take a doe or a buck, but that's just me.
