Ahh...... Your not talking about that plastic one standing by the fake hole in the field by the old delivery van and gas pump about 5 miles south of Arlington on the west side are you? I did a double take when the guy put it out there at first. I think it's a Petosa that lives there.

you may have seen me hopping out of my red pathfinder at 8 this morning to take this picture. there was six of these that i counted. it was raining so that might be why i didnt see any but there wasnt a fake one sitting out there.

Thats sure looks like a P Dog to me, Wonder how the heck it got over here on the west side. I know somebody who swears he has seen Whitetails in the Lake Cavanaugh area so you never know what will show up.  :hunter:

I have seen the Pdog many times as I drive by it to and from work. The Pdog was probably someones pet, I know that you used to be able to buy them in the pet store. But to transplant a white tail that would be harder.

Yep. Their real. And theres more than one. I sat and watched them scurring around. I've lived on the wet side all my life and have never seen them before.

Yes they are and I know right where you are talking about I have seen them many times there myself. I had to stop and do a double take myself when I first noticed them during the summer. NO Rifle on the west side of 9 though ans I doubt that the owners would allow it anyway

I saw a whitetail while buzzing up the Cowlitz in my boat. I called F&G and they said no way. I know the difference and believe me it was a whitetail. Now I can't wait to see pronghorn between Spokane and Moses Lake.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

  It's funny you say that about the goats, my dad swears up and down he seen  a 1/2 dozen antelope in one of those wheat fields standing Right along side of the i-90 3 years ago and i told him b.s. and he told me there is no dought in his mind what they were, they were 50 yards off the road. He grew up in antelope county so he knows what one looks like.

Not trying to ruffle waives and bring up old posts being a newb to the forum...but I will argue the same! I was archery hunting with my father and saw a group for 5-6 does. I'm 99% sure they are whitetails. My father will swear the same.

Call me crazy, I don't care. I know what I saw.
I left it better than I found it...did you?

I hunted whitetails right along the edge of Kanaskat-Palmer State park.  That is where I used to hunt bears too.  I was walking into my bear stand that had produced 3 bears in 3 years when there were 3 deer in the trail about 30 yards ahead of me.  I had to do a double take as I was confused, they sure did not look like blacktails!  I asked my buddy who was with me what he thought and he said they look like Whitetails.  Just then the small buck stomped his feet and all three took off with tails flagging.  No one would believe me, so I spent the last two years you could hunt there trying to get one.  I had one big whitetail doe come walking right under my treestand (Was sitting in my bear treestand for deer).  She stood there for about 10 minutes, it was definitely a whitetail!  Never did get a whitetail buck to show himself during the season, but did get two blacktails and two bears for my troubles.

THEY ARE HERE!  I AM NOT CRAZY!

Sure did.  Just past the park if you were heading towards Enumclaw.  Used to be Plum Creek Timber land.  Elk Calving grounds up on the hill.  Was my favorite place for years until they shut it all down.
