I do remember c-post.......a very general area that I would glady refer people to. I personally think it is hilarious when people get offended that general information is provided as a starting point. I wouldn't get to bent out of shape about it. It took me less than 5 minutes to use the GoHunt and google earth to zoom in on a few spots that apparently aren't worth a lick.

referring someone to capital forest or vail tree farm as a general starting point is one thing. posting a map of tiny wood lots is entirely different. like I said and you reiterated its not top secret, but In this situation I don't think its right and at the very least its hypocritical to keep this thread going.

am I bent out of shape or pissed? absolutely not. I will probably never hunt whidbey since I could be almost over the mountains in the time it would take me to drive there.  I am just pointing out as many others have in the past that its in poor taste to display areas like you did on whidbey island to any one with a google account.

I dont recommend anybody hunting Whidbey Island  or putting in for a 2nd deer tag for the islands unless you have permisson, access to property or know the area. :twocents: I know if I drove that far and found out I coudnt hunt it, I would be pretty pissed.

Since anyone that has a Google acess is everyone and you don't hunt the area I'll simply say thank your comments and suggestions. I'll allow the mods determine what is appropriate to post and act accordingly.

Heck, I am defenitely wishing for a slam dunk any deer!

Either way, thanks NWA for the tip, happy hunting to all, be safe and shoot straight.

Good point Seth....so far I've already avoided wasting time by some of the feedback..

:yeah:

Good luck.  If you do decide on Whidbey, and you need any additional info on those areas, PM me.  I'm very familiar with the island.

The airstrip looks like the (Old Landing Strip) in the pheasant release sites. If it is you will need to get a permit from Naval Air Station Recreation Office.  Not sure about deer hunting whidbey but when you want granola it's the go to place.  Good luck.

It is OLF, no deer hunting allowed.  Part of the Navy base.  They do release pheasants there.

Lot of the hi density deer locations hace acess problems... Thats why there is lots of deer!  :bash: I have found that you are much more likely to get acces when you do not use a firearm. Bows tend to be looked on differently by those that are on the fence about giving acess.  :twocents: For those of you who are archery challenged there are always cross bows.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

That is a good point. Them deer ain't dumb. Look at any alfalafa field the day before modern on the east side....filled with 'em, then, a few shots ring out and they are gone baby. I've seen some of the biggest elk of my life on golf courses. So far I've gotten a few tips that will help out for my bro in law as well as myself late season archery.

Since NWWABOWHNTR already gave you some good advice, I doubt there is any thing better that I could tell you.  The rut seems to be starting pretty good here from what I have noticed.  If there is anything I can do to help out let me know.  If you do get one and need some help getting it out of the woods I would have no problem helping with that either.  There are PLENTY of deer on this island so good luck to you.
