There are tons of muleys in Medical Lake.  The biggest concentration of deer is on restricted state/city property.  A few winters ago, I counted 80 (yes... 80) deer in a 15-minute period while driving around Eastern State Hospital/Pine Lodge CCW area.  There not "spooky" and you can get some really nice up-close pictures.  Just don't stop for more than a few seconds or get out of your vehicle when driving around (ESH/PLCCW)... you'll get jacked-up by security/correctional officers... I used to work at the prison.

This past winter, we had a bunch of deer come deep into my neighborhood (even had deer crap in my backyard)... which was a big surprise.

I even saw two whitetail about a 1/2 mile east of West Medical Lake last month... freaked my out!   :yike:



dont know why youd be surprised by whitetails out there ive seen them out around warden and even on the columbia national wildlife refuge near othello

I was at Medical Lake two weeks ago saw a bachelor heard of 7-8 bucks not one of them was smaller than a 4 pt.  :yike: Also they tried to have a archery youth hunt around eastern hospital to thin out the population and was denied by the state. I shot a 4x3 out there a few years back on the other side of west medical lake.
