Consider getting some turkey tags too. Lots of birds and they are pretty easy haul if you get on a flock.

I left 101 a few days ago to hunt blacktails out west, if that tells you anything.  I’ve seen more deer in one day on the west side than I saw all week in 101.

My advice is to look at the wolf pack area map and avoid those areas. I lease numerous ranches for hunting in the northeast, I think every one of our deer hunters has killed on the first day of their hunt this year so far. But a wolf pack has moved in on one of our best ranches and the deer left, they either got eaten or they left, they are mostly gone, fortunately we have numerous ranches leased and the other ranches are doing us real good.

Additionally I know a guy who has worked on some of the wolf studies, (for anyone wondering, he's not a member of this forum) in his own words, when the wolves move into a drainage everything else moves away from that drainage, he has watched it happen with radio equipment on numerous species.

Some of the areas in the northeast that were my favorite hunting areas have been ruined by wolves, not nearly as good now, so I avoid the wolf areas now. There is still some really good hunting  in northeast washington, the best deer harvest units are in the northeast. You don't have to go deep for whitetail, some of the best hunting is little overlooked spots right close to human inhabited areas. Whitetails thrive in close proximity to humans!
