Title: Palouse Whitetail
Post by: AlbinoRhino on August 22, 2018, 02:30:52 PM
I am one of many who drew this tag, and as I’m scouting online I have a few questions... anyone who had success in this area if you could send me a message I had some questions (yes I know it’s a lot of private)

Thanks

I have the same tag.  My buddy put us in for it as a group not knowing it was white tail only.  Oh well, we plan on hitting around out area and hopefully getting lucky to find a couple.

Never hunted it, but heard the last 3 days are the best.   Also, sounds like 140" is pretty dang good buck for that hunt.

I've scored enough that I can usually guess within a couple inches but if I hit that one dead on.....  :IBCOOL:

As you can see, lots of antler variation.  Wide flat, tall, tall and wide, split brow tines and lots of 'stuff' as they age.  Talked to a palouse resident today, old boy with at least 14 total points around his place.  The locals would probably call him a 4x4.  Largest we have scored was 178 and change non-typ. A general down trend in mass and points has occurred since the point minimum rules started but a higher buck to doe ratio.

That would be two good Palouse bucks.

You can get doe tags for the Palouse? At least for modern I thought you could only get does further north during the late season.

I've been unsuccessful in the Palouse for the couple of seasons since I've started hunting. I almost always see other hunters on the limited public land that's available, but I've never seen anybody actually get a deer.

Both JJ Hunter and I are from there and just giving each other grief. With it being mosly private, we see lots of tresspassing and shenanigans.

had that tag or the one that was for whitetail antlerless, and only seen Muley's lol. Hunted around Washtucna, and all over that area. Seen one place just out of town, "Washtucna" that looked like it would hold lots of whitetails, but all No Trespassing.  :bash: I have no doubt with access and the pics prove it, that there are lots of nice Whitetails there.

I think this tag is going to be a bust for me.  Can't find any public land with white tails.  Anyone have some leads?
