Dang DB... those are some fantastic bucks! You and Alwine are really gettin the trail cam pics! Now kill one!

Question, are you just setting up on trails and such or are you baiting??

WOW... nice bucks.

Yeah, Alwine has a lot of great bucks on cam.

I plan on getting one of the 150+ bucks if given the opportunity.

I use both methods but when they are in the deep woods I will usually always put bait in front of the camera which is why you see a lot of night pictures..the big boys will hit the bait during the day but it is not a common occurence.

DB- last day of gun..... did you connect on one of them?

btw- you mentioned that you run just on the outside of the city limits of Spoklahoma..... north side? rattlesnake ridge area? if so, i think we may have bumped into eachother before. :)

anyway, hope you got one of those  big boys you have pics of!

I'm setting up a couple stands and a trailcam on Sunday up on greenbluff.  After not seeing much in 101 I'm ready to see some whiteys on Mt Spokane.

I would have to agree with you on that. I wish 130 was open for late bow. I have a place there that would be a true honey hole during the rut.

You hunting the public land on mica? I used to have around 3k acres of private that I hunted there but I haven't asked permission since I have been back.

127 and 130 has lots of bucks! 3 pt min and mostly private and lack of general rut hunt helps a ton, but for the biggest bucks in the state North is best 101 has the mass and trash, parts of stevens,pend orielle and okanogan. 127 and 130 lack mass usually tall and thin, rarely do u see the mass like the deer of the north and trash.

I definitely attest there is a lot more bucks with trash up here. I have seen a lot of massive bucks in the Cheney unit.

DB, so how did your hunt go up there. Did you have any decent day time rutting activity?

Most buck movement was midday. My buddy shot his first buck (1 1/2 year old) saturday. The buck came in grunting. Aside from that we didn't see much rut activity. Here are some pictures.

Here is a new buck showing up on one of my sets in 117. He is weak on the left but those brows are amazing. I would probably shoot him just because he is very unique.
