Naneum late Quality Deer

[time2hunt]

As a side note

Its stupid they even give out quality tags in the Naneum, they need to give it a break for a few years. LIKE MOST OF THE STATE

Yep.  Or at least the date needs to go deeper into November as many years the 17th does not even hit pre rut.

This hunt needs to go away for few years. Between all the apex predators four and two legged and the hair lose issue this herd has taken a beating . If managed properly it would produce a true quality buck again. You can’t have strong genetics with spikes and two point breeding your does. Good luck on the hunt and tell your boss if he doesn’t find a trophy to at least take a cull buck.

I spend a few photography days in there every year.   There is some real potential.  The giants tend to be private'ed up.  They get the heck poached out of them.   They have nabbed poachers in there like the last three years.  THe trend seems to be stick em and let em die and then sneak in and get them on the private.   The landowners are fed up!  There is also a fair amount of legal tribal harvest in the area.

I’ve seen quite a few truck loads of jerky come out of there. Obviously not during season, well ours anyways

lol. always about the jerky isn't it.

Let me know another Politically correct way to express what I have  seen with my own eyes that won’t be deleted on this forum and I would be happy to reword my posts

Anything being seen up there as deer movement
Is there much snow anymore on top?

[jstone]

One guy in our elk bow hunting group saw one nice buck in the Naneum this year. No shot though

[boneaddict]

In general region, saw 10 bucks yesterday, all doe'd up and rutting. Not "dumb" yet

Almost time
So much for the snow line. They should still be rutted up

Bucks were chasing does this past weekend when we were elk hunting for my daughters cow tag.  I think the rut should be in full swing starting next week, perfect timing.  Find the does and the bucks will be close.  Every group of 10-12 does we saw had one legal buck and one young buck with them.

Tomorrow morning is the opener.
Good luck to all who have the tag. My boss is up there camping. Saw some deer scouting today. We will see

[boneaddict]

Good timing


weather and moon are brutal, but i filmed two six points.  yes mule deer,  at noon, so dont think 65 will stop them.  They were rutting hard 100 yards apart

Like Doug said, rut timing is good. watched a doe get mounted today while Chukar hunting in the Swakane

[jstone]

Can’t post his pictures but he got a small 3x3. He saw lots of does.

[Rainier10]

Thanks for letting us know. I bet he did see a ton of does. The full moon and foggy days probably didn’t help.
