On a side note.....you will see a ton of deer from the roads. Don't do what so many do in that area and shoot a deer that is on private thinking you will get the deer and go....all the farmers I know listen for gunshots and immediately investigate cause this is a real problem during this two week hunt.

Wait for snow as its useless without it. Don't road hunt............Don't be afraid to hunt the canyons, lots of whitetails hang out their this time of year. Oh and btw, thanks for signing up for a permit that you have no idea about, takes it away from people who can actually be successful and willing to put in the time for a quality deer!

Whitetails is a waiting game, not trudging miles

Everyone has a right to sign up for whatever they want. I sign up for locations so it will take me to new places throughout this state.

Wait for snow?? This isn't a migratory mountain mule deer hunt! Whitetails ! They get to hunt them at the best time of the year.

:yeah: :yeah: maybe he doesn't have binoculars and needs the snow so he can see them :dunno:

:yeah:
I do the same thing. There are a lot of areas in the state that have some great hunting but I would not get to check it out unless I drew a special tag. Granted, I would try to do a bit of scouting before season...

My bitterness toward this is a guy who put into a draw and had no idea what to expect. Never scouted it, never even drove to the unit to see what was in store. Driving around or looking at a website is going to do nothing for this hunt. There are VERY VERY few areas with FFTH land and those areas get pounded. The deer will not be in those areas. This hunt is most successful for those who know where the deer run when pushed. You can't keep up with a whitetail on a dead on sprint, but if you can have somebody in the brush pushing and know where they are going to escape, you will be successful. It takes time and those who aren't willing to put in the time to get to know the area will have a very challenging hunt.

I've hunted 127 and live in 127 for more than 25 years.. It doesn't matter if it snows or not. You can count on Nov 15-24 th every year with lotta rutting activity. My most memorable days in this unit were 40's and 50's with rain and fog. You may go 5 years or more to see snow in these units before Nov 19Last year was covered in snow on my palouse hunt and it was a lousey hunt. Went back to one area late archery and there was no snow and bucks going crazy. Area was not part of the palouse tag but same sort of country.

Yeah it's unusual to have snow on the ground longer than a day or two at all and I have seen whitetail bucks wearing themselves to a frazzle rutting in warmer temps.

Snakeriver10: I will bash you next time you ask for any info. This friend of mine is a damn good hunter and is just looking for a few tips. No need for bashing. Go to the bar if you want to bash someone. This is a hunting site for a reason. Not a bashing site.How did Snakeriver bash you? Because he spoke the truth? He is dead on! You ask for help a few days before hunt.
What happen to the guys that approached farmers and say hey, I will help you on your place to hunt? How about sending the owner a birthday card with a gift card to his favorite restaurant? Nothing comes free these days. I can give you twenty scenarios of fellow hunters ruining it in the (Palouse Area, everything south of the Spokane river) for others hunting on private land. Cutting fences, leaving gates open, trespassing, leaving trash, and etc..
Everyone complains landowners don't allow hunters. It's called scratch my back, I scratch yours! :bash:
And it better start about the time you get notified you drew the permit.
I can bet you don't get on any land as of now, and the public land, good luck!
You will be lucky to see a doe.
Not bashing, simply stating the truth! :tup:

Wow! Not even see a doe?? Right!! I can tell you some great public land spots and spots I hunt over private!Not sure where your at, but where I'm at, on public land you will see lots of hunter orange and no deer. They go to private land when the first rifle goes off. My roads will be full of road hunters. You have to remember the Palouse hunt is not just "Palouse Country" The Cheney, Mica, and Roosevelt units are 95% private. So I'm guessing your not hunting in those areas. If so, enlighten me with a private message of exactly where your talking. Don't worry, I hunt on my own land and I hunt Archery.
I read your previous and it looks like you know 127. I know where your talking now. And as I said above, same deal, they head to Private ground. I know several that hunt/own private ground that boarders that land and their cameras get new bucks when this season starts. Not saying a guy can't tag a buck, but better have some hiking boots. And as somebody pointed out, you better know the land, you end up on private, the yuppies aren't kind to hunters. Most the land owners in that area are yuppies.

when i got up to him, found out he had eye gaurds also! :) forst whitetail, and i wont complain one bit about a 3 point with eye gaurds! the 3rd picture is where he lay! spotted him bedded down, shot him bedded down, never even flinched, i almost thought i missed when i loooked up to see him the exact way i saw him before i shot! :chuckle: the last picturre is of the mulie i was talking about!You obvious don't take things well. No need to private message me. You can air it on here. I have thick skin. I deal with felons everyday.
Nobody is plotting against you. I hope all on here are successful! Myself and several others were just pointing out what to expect. Sorry you didn't like it, I'm glad you were successful! Next year do some homework and maybe that huge buck you saw will make it through the year and you will have a shot at him.
