Orcas Island
« on: September 13, 2016, 10:27:56 AM »
Wife and I put in for 2nd deer on orcas. At the time we had land owner permission. Now unfortunately they have changed there mind as they have other family members that want to hunt that land. So we are stuck with these tags, and would still like to fill them. I know its not a hunt in the classic definition of hiking around etc., but we just want more meat for the freezer.

We are ethical, courteous and responsible hunters. Hoping someone on here might have a lead for access/ deer opportunities on Orcas Island.

Thanks,

There is some public land on the island, but you are in a tough spot. Which weapon? Archery seems to be a better chance of getting permission.  Imo
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Archery, or Slug shotgun, we are capable and prepared for either.

If you find a spot on private land, check with the Sheriff's office.  They used to require you to fill out a small form and get the property owner to sign it. 
Not sure if they still require it.

THAT WOULD BE A LAW.  :chuckle:

I couldn't remember if it was or not.  I had to look.  :chuckle:

I HAVE HEARD STORIES ABOUT THE PAST OUT THERE , AND IT WAS LIKE THE WILD WEST DURING DEER SEASONS, ARROWS AND BULLETS FLYING EVERYWHERE. :chuckle:

Thanks for the heads up on the form at the local LEO. We will make sure we get that taken care of. First we need to find some access. Still trying...

I was hoping some land owners would want some help with "deer control". Not yet the case.

Thanks Guys,.

You could try calling up some of the organic farms there and see if they have deer problems.

In SJ County you must have written permission to hunt on private land, apparently it is a law, or regulation, or whatever.

You could try calling up some of the organic farms there and see if they have deer problems. 

Good idea, doesn't have to be "organic".  Drive around and just look for orchards or large gardens.
