Camano Island Deer hunting
« on: March 18, 2010, 12:21:14 PM »
Hello everyone, how is it going? I have lived in the Camano Island area for years and every year i hear about people taking good sized bucks off the Island. I have found public access land and have put some time in it over the last three years or so, but still no luck. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice about the area and/or whether baiting the area might help. I have talked to wdfw and baiting is legal, i am just curious as to the pros and cons.  Like i said, i already have an area and am willing to share with anyone that might have some advice that could up my chances. Thank you for the help in advance and good luck to all.

Look at the bright side - you probably won't have any competition. :chuckle:

Sorry you weren't able to get any information.  I just have to think no one has any or they would have responded.

It sounds like he has received pm's from people.  At least that's my take on it.  :twocents:

I hope so.  I took it as being sarcasm that no one had replied.

Had to read it again to get the sarcasm in his post. I thought he was truly thanking people for info given in private. lol

Absolutely. Inflection, tone, intent...they are all hard to interpret from text.

Still amazes me how many people ask questions before introducing themselves...
I know there are deer on Island, I would hang out at the local bar/eating establishment and get to know some of the local (neighbors) and even post a sign at the local Nursery (where people spend money on roses) to gain information and access permission.
As a delivery driver, I met several locals that told me about nice bucks in their backyards on Camano......

Yes, I would try baiting. Use apples. Or, if you're able, plant a food plot, or multiple food plots if you have the room. And, if you're not already, get a tree stand, and try letting the deer come to you.

I really did mean thank you, it was not intended to be sarcastic. I have gotten some great advice in private messages and wanted to respond to all at once as well as the individual responses i sent out.  I can understand how it was perceived as sarcasm, and i want to clear that up while i can.  Sorry for any confusion and thank you all again for the great advice.  :)

Is there a specific forum for introductions or should i just pick a page and give some backround on myself? I have noticed a lot of guys asking me to introduce myself and i just cant figure out where to post that info.
