I’ve noticed these units got hit a lot harder than 121 117 anybody else?

[HooknoseHunter]

Got hit harder by what? Blue tongue? Hunting pressure? Just curious.

[buckfvr]

Possibly, but thats not to say 117 &121 didnt get hit hard because they got hit very hard.

yeah I noticed hunt 121 and went out there this year and honestly had the best opening day ive ever had and saw a ton of deer with a baby that was due late oct I decided to try local areas around Spokane and I didn’t see one deer spent 3 days out lots of old sign pretty sad really

I hunt 121 exclusively. When I left the woods on December 15th last year I had 14 bucks in the 3-5 y/o age class still alive and on camera. I pulled those same 7 cameras yesterday and only had 1 of those 14 on camera.

Of all the dead bucks posted up here, I believe there are 2 WT.

I’m all over the elevation spectrum. I’m not sure elevation is that big of a factor this time. We broke every heat record that ever stood over here. I’m not hearing any great reports in 101 either and that whole unit is above 2500’. I do think there are pockets where some deer escaped it… I just have to find it.

I know 127 fairly well and some parts of 139-142. They all got hit hard with blue tongue and EHD this last summer. I spoke with a FW bio who said as much that they were just inundated with calls about carcasses.  For me, I love hunting and deer meat. But if I had put in and received a doe tag (second deer tag) I would be trying to turn it back in for points. Personally I’m going to stop putting in for any doe type tags.
Our deer herds are in tough shape in some regions, with drought, heat, and fires. My stance as a conservative hunter is to make sure I leave some for next season or the next generation. Let’s try to do our part with the cards we were dealt. Rant is over.
