2015 Rut thread....

[WoolyRunner]

Any word on the bucks around Clarkston/Asotin/Anatone?

The pheasant hunters have been fairly active in the places I watch regularly, so I haven't been seeing the deer much. The bucks I've seen have thick necks, but I've yet to see any new bucks who've moved in for the does. They'll show soon, though.

Awesome. Im heading over there on saturday for late muzzy.

Looking forward to my late archery hunt north of kettle falls.  I leave next Wed for 5 days over thanksgiving. Forecast is F-ing cold!!! High 22 low 3 first day. 
I hope the bucks are still active and ruttin!!

Anyone think/know if rut is still on around Hancock Kapowsin? Hard to say I guess just going out in the morning hoping to fill this tag. Got a few nice bucks in the late buck hunt last year but wasn't seeing crazy activity just made the opportunitys count

So im not very tech saavy.  I recorded a cool video with my samsung galaxy s4.  Its about two minutes long.  Is there any way to post it directly onto this thread like i could with a still picture?

Might have to download to youtube first.   

Saw a buck following two does this morning sniffing their butts, too far for a shot.

Try YouTube or photobucket.

I saw 17 deer in Hancock Kapowsin today where I mountain bike into and 0 bucks. I didn't think it could happen during this late hunt. Anyone else in Kapowsin today?

Duckslayer,
Took a 2x2 at 11:00 am this morning after watching a scotchbroom bush moving around.
I was walking down a overgrown dead end road and noticed a bush moving around for no apparent reason. No wind what so ever, Then this buck steps  out in the open, boom.
Good size neck, 114lbs hanging at the butcher.
I did not have very many buck sightings out there this year. Happy to have one in the freezer.
I can now concentrate on late muzzle elk!

Sweet dude that is good news. I just kept seeing deer after deer with no antlers today it was crazy. My area was fogged in after 9am and I stayed up high waiting for it to clear but it never did. I probably should have made the move earlier but after a 4 mile ride it's hard to go back down hill. Were you on the main side or bridge?

[Thehowler]

Main gate side.

Saw a big, older spike trailing a doe tonight.  He was swollen and dark.
