The advantage to hunting the deep woods is that I am rarely limited by where I can go like I am on private land. There are times I have come across bucks on private land that I want to hunt but I only see them at night on my trail camears...meanwhile the guy on the property next to me is  closer to his core area and has him in during daylight reguarly because he is closer to his core area.

This is what i'm kind of tired of in the Palouse. To find good places to hunt in the region is getting hard, public land is few and far between and over hunted. Free private land is getting sparse or if it is it's just open field. The rest is anywhere from 50$ a day to 1000$ per person a season. Which for a broke college kid those prices aren't happening.

I know there are big bucks in the Palouse as well, ive seen them I missed an opportunity on a 150 this year. I'm starting to work on the trail cam thing as well, but like i said broke college kid. I'm just gathering general information for 2 seasons out when i have more income and more weekends available.

That's campmeat telling you nicely to stay out of unit 101.

You guys won't believe this, but I don't like deer meat at all. I had a very nice 6x8 whitetail in the yard this year, he's still here. Predators are my thing.

I would be happy to help you remove your flower eaters....   We all know that a 6 x 8 will eat more landscape than a doe....

Some guys make it sound very difficult on here, heres what ya need... lotta gas/diesel.. trail cams... lotta feed and time.. start moving feed and cams till you get them on camera... the rest is hunting them and hoping they show at your stand... majority of these huge bucks on here are done just as that.

I don't own a trail cam. I just hunt...and scout. amen on the fuel though.

[huntnnw]

In away I wish I had never bought a trail camera, addicted to them. In the begining it was, I can scout lots of places at once, save me on time and travel..WRONG  I spend more time in the woods WAY more on fuel and the frusturation of malfunctioned cameras, bears!! and people stealing. Then to not get anything good on camera is always a downer.. almost sounds like a drinking problem

Sorry, I'm fattening him up for next year. I had never seen him until this year. My wife likes deer meat. I would of killed him , but I had an archery tag and couldn't quite make it happen.

I suspect this winter is going to take a massive toll on the deer in the NE corner worse than in 1996 so I would suggest looking elsewhere.  No deer in the NE.

winter is quite mild as of now

i couldn't agree more..... it is like christmas morning everytime i go to check them. this year i had 13 cameras out between our place and the two other farms i hunt..... i was running around like a chicken with my head cut off...... and loving every second of it.

in some respects (especially in the off season) these things are a blessing..... at other times i have to ask myself where do we draw the line on technology? i mean for pete sakes....... i hunt with a stickbow but i had 26 gigs of memory out in the woods at one time this year LOL!!!! honestly though, i sat a stand and killed my '08 buck strictly due to my cameras..... i had planned on hunting a different trail that night but checked my cards before heading into the timber. the camera changed my mind and i shot my buck that night because i knew he would head down that particular  trail. if i had no cameras, the outcome may have been different.

I know what ya mean, I have had them affect hunts. Sometimes I would just rather be surprised to see what comes in, pretty hard to tough out a sit in a stand when nothing good has showed up in days

I love the NE, Once many see the thickness and work involved they turn around.

That's the best part about hunting up there. Once you learn how to hunt it it's not too bad.
