Fork horns galore - need advice
« on: October 25, 2015, 05:41:31 PM »
Hey guys, I could use some advice.  My usual Okanogan County deer hunting spot burned up this summer, so I tried a new place.  It's sage and bitter brush covered hills with nearby alfalfa fields.  The area has both resident and migratory deer.  I hunted it four mornings, seeing quite a few each time.  The problem is that of the fifteen bucks I saw, fourteen were fork horns.  The other was a 4x4 that I didn't get a shot at. 

Should I keep hunting this place, thinking that sooner or later I'll run into a legal buck?  Or are only does and little bucks there until weather and the rut brings in the big guys?  What do you think?

Sounds like the private property outside of Bridgeport we hunt.  We've been there many times but now only hunt the area if my boys get Foster Creek doe tags because there are no legal bucks on that stretch of land

Similar to where I hunt too, and the legal guys are there, trust me. They are most likely little and you may need a spotting scope to verify. I say keep going at it being that there isn't much season left!
