Palouse Whitetail

[AlbinoRhino]

I am one of many who drew this tag, and as I’m scouting online I have a few questions... anyone who had success in this area if you could send me a message I had some questions (yes I know it’s a lot of private)

Thanks

[BULLBLASTER]

What kind of questions you got?

Sent ya some info as well.

I have the same tag.  My buddy put us in for it as a group not knowing it was white tail only.  Oh well, we plan on hitting around out area and hopefully getting lucky to find a couple.

Never hunted it, but heard the last 3 days are the best.   Also, sounds like 140" is pretty dang good buck for that hunt.

I've scored enough that I can usually guess within a couple inches but if I hit that one dead on.....

My Palouse buck a few years back

2013 buck.  I’m guessing 130-140.

As you can see, lots of antler variation.  Wide flat, tall, tall and wide, split brow tines and lots of 'stuff' as they age.  Talked to a palouse resident today, old boy with at least 14 total points around his place.  The locals would probably call him a 4x4.  Largest we have scored was 178 and change non-typ. A general down trend in mass and points has occurred since the point minimum rules started but a higher buck to doe ratio.

Nice buck tikkahunter

All these years we you've been telling me to hold out for 230 though.

That would be two good Palouse bucks.

You can get doe tags for the Palouse? At least for modern I thought you could only get does further north during the late season.

I've been unsuccessful in the Palouse for the couple of seasons since I've started hunting. I almost always see other hunters on the limited public land that's available, but I've never seen anybody actually get a deer.

Both JJ Hunter and I are from there and just giving each other grief. With it being mosly private, we see lots of tresspassing and shenanigans.

Blue tongue (EHD) showing up, plan accordingly

dang. Are you finding dead ones on your place?

[csaaphill]

had that tag or the one that was for whitetail antlerless, and only seen Muley's lol. Hunted around Washtucna, and all over that area. Seen one place just out of town, "Washtucna" that looked like it would hold lots of whitetails, but all No Trespassing.  I have no doubt with access and the pics prove it, that there are lots of nice Whitetails there.

[asmith]

I think this tag is going to be a bust for me.  Can't find any public land with white tails.  Anyone have some leads?

[Bullmoose]

You were to far west to get into Whitetails, We have not been seeing much around here

[HICOUNTRY]

Hey fellas, kinda heard rumors about blue tongue also... my daughter has draw the tag this year, been on the wdfg site looking at feel free to hunt areas... if anyone would like to visit about it, shoot me a pm... thanks
