too many hunters in my opinion.  Swakane is better since you can shoot doe's there.Should be real good with this snow

hunted it for more than 15 years now.cant think of a better place to hunt late season. it did take us about 4-5 years to understand the deer, their habits, tendencies, ect.

Isn't that whitetail only though?  Not that this is a bad thing, just don't remember seeing many whitetail over there?

For those long shots it's better to use about a 300gr arrow and a 90# bow, so make sure to lighten your arrow and increase your bow poundage!

I need to find a pic of a skunk, my 3rd year archery, passed does the 1st 2 years. A 5 point took off at 25 yards drawing my bow on Saturday, had 6 full days out there this year seeing a total of 47 deer with none being within my 40-45 yard range cept for the buck that heard me draw.
Do I drive to Spokane for a weekend?... or post a skunk!
