Well I got back on Friday and have been hunting high in Ferry county with zero luck in my old spots. Today I hiked into an area pretty close to the bottom of the valley and first thing I got to stalk 2 3x2, a spike, and a doe muley. The doe spotted me at 40 and they all walked off. Half a mile or more later I was taking some practice shots with my recurve and walking up the hill to collect my arrow I poked just high enough to see a 4x4, possibly had an eye guard big enough for 4x5 bedded staring at me. He trotted off when I got an arrow knocked. Circle around to another spot close to 3/4 mile away and a few does were walking around in there, used to be legal this time of year and a couple miles west they are but oh well. I decided to say “hey momma, where’s your husband?” And they all stared at me walking towards em and then casually walked away. Clearly haven’t seen a hunter yet this year. Keep walking the deer trail and I see a deer, chest only, on the side, 20 yards, can’t see head or butt and i try to peak past the tree and a 2 point whitetails staring at me! He ran off but I made it to the little hill and watched him stop and feed at 100 yards before walking into the brush. I snuck up there never taking my eyes off that brush and I saw him once when I was halfway there reach up and bite a leaf and then his head ducked in again and he musta crawled down a tunnel cause he was gone when I got there. Walked all over and even threw rocks in there. I’m grabbing my compound now and heading back out. Found a spring with a heavy trail to sit on. Good luck to everyone else still out chasing deer!
Doing a little backseat arrow building after chasing rabbits too haha
