Winthrop muley numbers

[npaull]

I am going to be hunting the second deer (antlerless) Methow permit on a friend's property a few miles north of Winthrop later this month.

Just wondering what people's observations of the deer numbers in the valley this year have been like. A few years ago it was crawling with deer, but hunted it last year and although they were around, not nearly so many.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say your anterless tag should be an easy one.

With a longbow, you never know.

Shoot, with anything you never know. Get 'er done and post it up.

Just got back from there lots of deer. Spent most of the week in the wilderness. Had one evening and one night hunt down low. Couldent seal it on a real nice 3x Got busted twice and less than 60 yards (thats bow hunting and I love it)

Just talked to my brother an hour or so ago, he's a few miles north of Winthrop right now for a week hunting as well and he said this year so far seems to be alot less deer around then last year. they've only seen 1 legal buck so far in the 1st 3 days. Could be the heat though too.

The heat defently has something to do with it opening morning i seen 11 bucks 3 were legel (two 3x3, one 4x2) and 18 deer total and I was off the hill by 930 went out this morning and only saw 3 and none hade any bone to show.
