Who on this planet told you not to expect to see much in the way of big bucks? They are out of their minds. :chuckle:
Your inbox is full. Should we bring a quad. Should we rattle? Feed?

I'm heading to 10a also Saturday with my 13 year old. His 1st out of state hunt.
Good luck to you. Hope your boy scores on one.

A CB is about a mandatory thing to have if you’re planning on hunting potlatch land.
I didn’t see any mature bucks when I was up there but going to head back up and try to find one in a week or so.

Hopefully it's not as much of an issue up in the higher part's of your unit.... Tough year for WT.

I was over there two weeks ago and saw a couple dead ones down near the highway. Several healthy ones up high though. I stopped in the FS office in Orofino and picked up a map. The lady at the counter said the natl forest there has really taken a beating since covid. Her comment was " every week day is like a weekend and every weekend has been like the 4th of July. Said they are cracking down on the atvs and utvs going around gates. She wasnt very friendly and seemed kind of down on people using the forest.At least Idaho can recognize problem and start to resolve it.
Washington just Blows.

Bring it if you got it. I never have though. People on quads ride right past more deer than they see. Absolutely bring the rattling antlers!!!!!Who on this planet told you not to expect to see much in the way of big bucks? They are out of their minds. :chuckle:

The UTV/ATV situation has always been out of control in Idaho. It is rare to see a hunter on foot. 3Nails is right- people zip on by tons of deer! I rattled in and took a nice buck two years ago in a little pocket of timber that a number of other hunters had driven right by that very afternoon. Try to get at least a few hundred yards away from any road or ATV trail. The thicker the brush, the more comfortable the deer will feel.

I work up in those mountains- plenty of deer left, especially higher up (as in 10a). There is even a strong difference in bluetongue/EDH survival between Whitman Co. (WA) and Latah Co. (ID), with Latah Co. doing much better.Those of you who have rattled them in with success, can you chime in on your routine? I have tried it in the past a few times with not much luck

I just rattled hard for a little bit and sat there on my pack and a spike came running up out of the timber and stood there looking up towards me. I’ve only rattled a handful of times and got one to come in. So I was surprised
