Hancock Kapowsin Deer?

[BigBullDreamer11]

Anyone do any good up there so far? I seen acouple 2 points and got busted by a 3 point before i could get to full draw but after elk season wasn't getting into buck as much. I think they have got nocturnal.. Post pics and story  if you were successful..

All I've seen up there so far are does. Did have a nice bear step out at about 100 yards and take a drink out of a mud puddle, 11:00 in the morning 9/30. Looked up at me for a second then  bolted.

I have for sure seen more elk then i have deer this year so far... Hopefully rifle or late season will be better i have a multi season hang so holding out

I have multi season tag too but passed on a bunch of doe. It was hard but I managed to wait. I drove around last night probably 50 miles on the bridge gate side where I saw a bunch of bear sign a few months ago and didn't see a single deer. Saw 5 bulls though and a grouse. Not even a bunny. Which were going down if I saw them.

Heading to Kapowsin Sunday and Monday. IF I don't get luck will head out Thursday through the 31st.

Hoping the hunting pressure slows down a bit. I am using the Buckley Gate area. Felt "all alone" out there all year not the pumkins have invaded. Still, isn't that bad, almost happy to see people out there.

If you a Silver F150 XLT out there, that is me. Planning on sitting in my little blind watching the edge of some cuts. Hoping the deer start moving around.

If that does not work will move into the woods a bit from the cut and rattle.

Would you guys/gals rattle in a cut watching the edge?

First light in the mornings, by far, I have seen the most deer in the cut edges. Undisturbed, I can sit and watch them feed until they slip away into the timber, or lay under a tree, or next to some brush, up until around 8:30.
After that all hit and miss. I would say the first hour of good shooting light.
Don't get me wrong, I consider myself lucky and in the right place at the right time when I tag a deer. I just hunt areas where I see the most activity. I have alot of vacation time available at work, which helps big time.
I know you have heard about the 10:00 to 2:00 time frame. I have killed most of my deer during that time in my hunting life.
Don't forget all the overgrown roads between cut areas, with timber in between,  lots of light and miday feed. I know of a certain road that has had  3 bucks killed on within 100 yards of each other. Slowly walking and sitting, always mid-day.

My niece got her first solo hunt deer out of there beginning of modern. Only been hunting 2 years and she's 2 for 2! Her boyfriend has been working 7 days a week so she decided to hunt solo for the first time. Got a cute little 2xspadeXspike.

Congrat to your niece

Glad she is making it happen and is out there solo hunting.

My Brother and dad this week got it done up there.  I've passed up a spike and have seen too many does to count. Hopefully the big deer loosen up a little more for late season.
