2022 Season hunts

[huntnnw]

Well I have shifted gears away from bears and began scouting for MT elk and deer and whitetails and elk around the house. Last saturday we took the side by side to W MT and looked at some country that looked like amazing elk country and we found almost 0 sign which was pretty disappointing to see. Did check some areas off and got to see some trails and what roads were closed etc. I wont write it off until archery elk gets here and put some miles into some spots.

 At home I have found 2 bucks Id arrow on Sept 1 if given the chance. 1 buck I had on camera in 2020 in November I had figured he was 4.5 years old then, I watched him last summer and it didnt look like he grew much at all and now this year I have found him again and once again it looks like he wont change much. He is a 140 ish buck and I hope to get some good pics of him on trail cam soon as I am placing one tomorrow where I think he exits a field.

Solid buck almost anywhere but especially here in WA, good luck harvesting him.

Checked the new cam today and got him on camera. He’s living in a really small area. I’ve got cams about 500 yards east and west of this spot and he’s never been on them. Pretty sure I know what he’s doing now and a couple places he’s probably bedding .

Nice deer

Well its almost go time and I will try and keep this page updated with pics and hopefully some harvest pics and not sunrise and sunset pics  . Today Ill be climbing into the stand at around 4 pm for WA whitetail and Ill hunt thru Sunday and that will be it for deer until November if I dont get him. Ill work 4 days then get geared up and packed up for MT elk for 15 days.

The buck Im after has been cooperating the last 2 days, before that he had been erratic for a week.

Tic tick.. waiting game has commenced. Boy is it hot!

Well target buck should be dead, but he lives another night. Started off at 6:30 a 80lb bear came in. I waved and stood up and wouldn’t leave. I shot a judo tip at his feet ont to spook him 15 yards where he proceeded to lay down and look at me and make odd sounds. Finally he meandered off and I was hopeful again that I might see the buck. At 7:04 I had 2 dudes walking a gated road with beer talking ! It was so loud and I about just got outta of stand. I stayed and at 7:46 I see a buck coming and it’s him he circles around some trees and comes thru an opening at 32 yards for a second . I didn’t wanna try and stop him as I may stop him too late and blow him out. He walks in at 21 yards head on and down for 10 min! Finally meanders over at 28 yards broadside and I couldn’t confidently place pin and decided to let down and try again tomorrow night as he has no clue I’m here. I’m still sitting in stand as I write this waiting for deer to move away so I don’t blow him out.
