Public land joke..

[bobcat]

This is why mule deer hunting needs to be by permit only. It's ridiculous that we still have an unlimited number of over-the-counter deer tags in a state with a high population of people and relatively low numbers of mule deer.

The WDFW needs to better manage game, bobcat.

Yes they do, and that's why I said mule deer should be permit only. They have no control over how many people hunt each GMU. I don't consider that management. They just sell as many tags as people will buy and hope for the best.

We both know it's a pure money makes for the WDFW. They need to have a late muzzleloader season in the 101 and maybe a short rifle season. We have tons of mule deer here.

Love to now where the mule deer are. I only ever find whitetail.

welcome to the eastside swarm. western wa at its finest. its pathetic.

Believe it or not, it's not the really bad ones that are usually headed over there.  They stay here and do things that make the others want to go your way.

This ranch has been hit so hard for the last 5+ yrs that it's not even worth looking at. I live 3 miles away from it and people drive by headed that way all week long and half end up driving back by 10 mins later cuz they about puked when they see how many rig's there are. Public land is public land but everytime they develope an area and allow parking and RV's it becomes a zoo. Try staying around the elevator next time. The alfalfa is public land and just across the creek on the left at the gate is public land too. Goes back about 3 miles and has some decent bucks on the farthest Northeast end where they can funnel into McCall's alfalfa at night. Also try the BLM ground North East of there in the rock's. For some reason no one hardly ever walks back past the rock column's. Also some area's with dandy bucks along 23 that are "hunt by reservation". Hope I helped a little forin the future.

Are you referring about the army Corp property?
If so it was nuts as well.
Unless I am missing a pocket you are referring to

I grew up about 10 minutes from there. I took my wife out there about 7 or 8 years ago. I haven't been back since. I think that place is actually dangerous!

And that's why I have always owned horses and mules.
Glad to hear these places draw all the people.
I heard there is an abundance of huge bucks that are easy to kill there as well. LOL.

Didn't the RMEF have something to do with securing the Rock Creek area in WA?

[jjhunter]

I shot my big bucks there in the 90's, in my teens.   The whole area is crap now compared to what it was.   Too much traffic.  Be lucky to whack a 150" buck on the best private dirt, now.

That's why I switched to targeting whitetail.
