I was happy to see the quality of antler growth.  Seems like the wet spring was very good for their antlers size.

I felt like I saw good antler growth as well. Didn't seal the deal but saw quite a few bucks that would have been my personal best, not that that's a high mark  :chuckle:

I've been out a few times since the opener.  I'm primarly hunting Spokane/Cheney and south.  I'm seeing very few whitetails, go figure they all died last summer.  I'm seeing quite a few muley's and most bucks have pretty decent antler growth.  I haven't had any opportunities yet but have got the heart pumping once or twice.  To all the farmers on here:  Please don't cut the lentil field I'm hunting until I kill Mr. Big!!   ;)

I got on a buck the weekend of the opener (JPmiller) knows the one I'm talking about. I had my brother push him to me and was so close but he turned around instead of stepping forward for the shot. It was a lot of fun and sort of happy I didn't tag out as I have the MS tag and can keep the fun going. Best of luck to everyone and dang this thread is a little bare for this time of the season.

Only cause I didn't shoot him earlier! Good luck going forward, I don't think I have the schedule to get back over so don't try to save him for.me!

Nothing here yet.  Hot weather and smoke seems to have combined to hunker them down.  Had "the one" headed into my blind opening day, but ran out of daylight when he was still 150 yards off.  He's gone mostly nocturnal since then.  Saw him headed over a ridge Saturday morning, but that's been it. 
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I am hoping some cooler weather gets them on their feet.

Personally I’m seeing very low deer numbers in my area.  Zero deer activity at my home and around me.  Been running cams on 2 properties (3 cams over salt) not a single deer pic to show for it since July.   Lost a lot of deer last year
