I spoke at length with a WDFW officer a few weeks ago. He practically begged me to hunt GMU 124 (Spokane County) in 2011 due to a great abundance of whitetails. He also mentioned that (all) the GMUs north of 124 were experiencing a decline in deer populations. I believe the wolves are now making their presence known.
Thanks DB, that was what i was looking for. I'm getting tired of working the wide open palouse and was thinking about going to some different terrain. Saw these NE deer photos and it looked like a little more fun area to hunt.
Yeah, I have my few farms that I can go hunt and I do see some bigger bucks usually one big one a year, never get them though. Getting to know the farmers these days isn't as easy as most of you guys seem to think it is, ive been out here at WSU for the last 3 years and i hit the dirt roads and knock on doors and do all the right stuff (and no not the week before the opener) but unless you're willing to shell out hundreds of dollars per person, you're not going to get much access to lands worth hunting for deer, but a lot of good bird access.
