Whitetails around Colville seem to be doing great, at least in my neck of the area.  We have several fawns and healthy does running around and the big bucks are sporting velvet and can be seen on a regular basis.  Have not gone up higher to check on the Muley yet though.

There is a sustantial loss of whitetails in the Deer Park and Clayton area where I live and scout.Just my field where I live I average on any given night in the summer I can count 40-60 deer in in it over the last 6 years every night, this year be lucky to see 20 usually like 15 not good.I talked my buddy at the archery shop and others in the area are seeing a decrease in deer in the area. Just got spoiled over the last several years still lots of deer just nothing I am use to seeing.

Haven't found any winter kill out in the SE part of the state, but there's plenty of low ground for them to get to around here.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!

The winter knocked them back pretty good.  There are not as many deer in the alfalfa fields, I'd say less
than half of what there was last year.   (Deer Park / Elk area)
