Who hunts Lincoln County?

[C-Money]

I have hunted it, and there are some good spots. You just need to get out and look. My brothers and nephews seem to always be 50 to 60% tags filled.

I concur! I wont lie, he LOOKED bigger in the moment! Sorry to throw another subject in, but another guy in our group got 1 that I will start another post about right now! I will attach the best photo I have of this mulie/whitetail crossbread!

Funny how the coasties want to tell the locals what to do.  I've seen more ground in lincoln county in a summer than most would in a lifetime.

Yah that is funny. Even though I live and work on the wet side, my heart is still with the Inland Empire. Born and raise over there and will probobly retire over there also. I just couldn't find a decent paying job over there. Not like the one I have here.

Did anyone see the pic at the to of the post! Does that mature 4x4 look like a dink???

Well, since you asked, the tines ARE kind of short.   

a mature lincoln county buck usually measured by the wear of teeth.  this one from this year was only 4.5 years old..

So what should we call guys from over there that head over here to hunt blacktails and rosies? Easties?

Some guys do tire of shooting spike bulls and spindly mulie bucks, others do not.

I don't see anything spindly about the buck Yelp posted. That is about the same score as my 5x4 a couple of years ago. Nice buck Yelp. When I was a kid and hunted the county with my dad. There was an 18 year old boy who got his uncles deer rifle after he had passed. The first year he hunted he made the front page of the Davenport news paper. The buck he shot was a mature 4x4 that measured 29 1/2" wide. They are out there even though some people think there is nothing mature enough to shoot. It's a big county and tons of places to hide. Some places so thick that you can't walk through it.

It is a dandy for this state, average elsewhere.

Soooooooo, you don't hunt in this state? Where do you go? Northern centeral Saskatchuwan? I know of an old timer that shot a muley in the Methow valley back in the 70's and I took that rack to the soportsman show to have it scored.  It is a narly non-typical that scored 223 5/8's. At the time it was scored, it was #10 in the state record books. For Washington, that is a MONSTER. Ther are very large deer in this state. Over the last few years being on this forum I have seen huge deer that people have taken. For the record, I get that rack when he passes.

Davenport has its own news paper?

Hey, they were the ONLY town in Lincoln county to have enough boys to play 11 man football in the 50's and 60's. They had to go out of county to play there games. It's not a big news paper, but they have one.

Not trying to get you fired up, you bet there's big bucks in this state! A 150 class buck to an avid hunter is not really that huge. I would shoot one opening morning of any general season in this state, in fact I've never shot one that big here. Sorry to upset you, Yelps buck is awesome! But I bet he's killed several similar bucks.

I have never hunted up there but might have to look into it  thanks yelp for taking the last nice buck on the eastside! I was hoping he could do a little more baby making before he got smoked  OH well I guess we will have to go chase blacktails.....

I'm not a trophy hunter.I like the challenge of hunting but I mostly... like to eat them..so if its legal and I can kill it... I am grateful..I don't bitch..I have a garage full of horns. some I mounted and are in the house.  There are big deer in this state antler wise but I don't want to waste an opportunity at filling the freezer.
