Get an idea of what terrain you are hunting.  You may be in wide open farmland, pine forest, or broken rocky ground.  There are some nice deer in that area.  Nothing huge, but nice.

Disagree....if you are hunting in/around Turnbull, there are HUGE whitetails.  Like 170"+ bucks.  Hard to kill, but there.  Horn growth on the whiteys in awesome this year!  I have seen several bucks over 160" in limited scouting time.   Those are big deer anywhere you go! 

I have bowhunted that area for 15 or so years.   I would personnally concentrate on food source to intercept a good buck.  This is wettest/latest/greenest year that anyone can remember.  Lots of water and feed which makes things a little tougher....but, whitetails are suckers for apples and alfalfa!  Good luck!

For me huge is 190+.  7-8 miles south of Cheney could put him into the palouse farmland which doesn't hold "huge" bucks.

Not too many 190" whiteys come out of washington. I grew up in medical lake and have hunted the cheney area for years and there are some really nice whiteys and muleys. I killed a 169" 6x9 muley in the cheney area. I would go!!!

So your probably not married?  Still waiting on Pamela Anderson to beat down your door?  :chuckle:  Yes, 190" is huge; 170" is huge (B&C); etc.....Now PM me where you are finding all these 190"+ whitetails?    :chuckle:

Haven't found any yet.  Here is my order of adjectives from smallest to biggest.  Decent, Above Average, Nice, Great, Huge, Holy Cow.   :chuckle:  I will shoot the first thing I see that meets any of those categories.

there are bigger whitetails out there than muleys, some nice muleys, but the chance at 180 muleys are not good.I saw a 170 5x5 this year out there, whitey. 7-8 miles south of cheney doesnt put u in farmland, more like turnbull :chuckle: its 15 miles to the williams lk turn off from cheney, all timber still

Not really looking for a wall hanger but it would be cool. I would be happy to put a decent buck in the freezer or see my buddy get his 1st deer.
