Eastern Washington Late Archery

[NOCK NOCK]

Well tag soup for me this year. Saw 35+ deer yesterday and not one legal buck. Do you think that the big late fires moved the deer around? Does that make them migrate into different places?

Saw quite a few deer in burned areas, including a legal buck that is lucky to still be walking. 
I believe that lack of snow has the deer spread out from 6000' down to traditional winter grounds.........theres still deer on cams wayyyy up Entiat valley

Pretty sure we had rez folks in a silver truck with white canopy rifle hunting a special draw unit for archery.  The least they could do is wait till the bow hunters are out of there.   

I saw an indian family with a 150+ whitetail AND a MONSTER muley in back of a truck. Two days, 2 rifle kills for them while I carried my bow around lol

Didn’t know what to expect this year with the fires. Deer were scarce and in some traditional spots but other spots that we always see deer were barren. I got a buck on Friday. Warden said it was only the third one he had seen taken. I’ll post pics later. Lost my phone on the mountain.

Great job on the Buck
That sucks on the phone issue

I know of three taken and then I was able to take one on Saturday.  Between the fires and warm weather the rut was weird and the deer behavior was weird.  We didnt see the big migrant push like we usually do.
