Title: Palouse Buck Tag
Post by: calahcoo on July 02, 2020, 09:50:21 PM: Hello everyone, I hope you were all as lucky as I was this year, drawing my very first WA special hunt tag for a Palouse Whitetail. I have some private land access near Pullman and plan on scouting and taking advantage of WDFW's private land access. I was hoping other members would be willing to share any pics of previous years' Palouse bucks, and any good, bad, or ugly experiences with any of the WDFW private lands in the area.
Thanks!

We'll be waiting for success pics.

There are some really good bucks in there. I grew up in the area and have hunted it with a muzzleloader for years. Haven't hunted it during the muzzy season for 10 years or so but know people who still do.

Post by: calahcoo on July 07, 2020, 02:53:58 PM: Thanks to everyone for the advice and for sharing some stud bucks! Dialing in the access this week. Excited to be hunting rutting bucks!
