Medical Lake Mulies

[SpokaneSlayer]

Saw a ton of deer around Medical Lake today and I happened to have my camera.

Never even noticed the second deer til I looked at the pic.


My daughter spotted this deer from the truck.  I was so impressed that I took an unzoomed pic.  Do you see it?


Some bucks I saw, including some really nice ones.




Some different angles on the same deer.

 Gorgeous bucks. A guy I knew who drove truck from Spokane to Seattle showed up in Seattle with a bumper full of deer one AM. He was traveling along 90 right near Medical lake when he clobbered a nearly 30" muley . Some good bucks in that area.

I think you may need some help hunting those deer
You got some great lookin deer there man!! cant wait for the pics when you nail that big 4 poiunt!!!!!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to hunt that buck.  I saw all these right off Hwy 902.  But I know there is a deer around where I can hunt that's even bigger.

There are tons of muleys in Medical Lake.  The biggest concentration of deer is on restricted state/city property.  A few winters ago, I counted 80 (yes... 80) deer in a 15-minute period while driving around Eastern State Hospital/Pine Lodge CCW area.  There not "spooky" and you can get some really nice up-close pictures.  Just don't stop for more than a few seconds or get out of your vehicle when driving around (ESH/PLCCW)... you'll get jacked-up by security/correctional officers... I used to work at the prison.

This past winter, we had a bunch of deer come deep into my neighborhood (even had deer crap in my backyard)... which was a big surprise.

I even saw two whitetail about a 1/2 mile east of West Medical Lake last month... freaked my out!

That's exactly where I took the first 2 pics.  The others were on the other side of town.

   Just haven't seen any until recently  .  Shot a nice 4x4 whitetail above Reardan years ago, but had never seen any in ML.

[andrew_12gauge]

wierd that you havent seen any out there but then again ive never really explored the area much but with whitetails every way you go from medical lake i imagine they mustve been there the whole time, i never realized there were so many muleys around medical lake

I was at Medical Lake two weeks ago saw a bachelor heard of 7-8 bucks not one of them was smaller than a 4 pt.  Also they tried to have a archery youth hunt around eastern hospital to thin out the population and was denied by the state. I shot a 4x3 out there a few years back on the other side of west medical lake.
