Title: The ruts just starting
Post by: cameraguy on November 01, 2009, 07:52:04 PM: Well, I met up this weekend with Ricochet down on the refuge. Took about 300 pics. Had a good time camping , saw some really good bucks. The ruts just starting, its really going to heat up in the next couple of weeks. We're planning on being down there again this next weekend Below are a few of the pictures that I took this weekend. The last picture is of Ricochet taking a picture of one of the bucks. Can't wait until next weekend.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on November 03, 2009, 05:56:55 AM: Luv tose pics. I drove from Kettle Falls to Walla Walla yesterday. Saw about 100 deer, but only 2 bucks. Neither of them were swelled up very much, and neither were pushing does. I think we're still a few weeks out from the rut here...

Post by: Ricochet on November 03, 2009, 06:25:10 AM: It won't be long, some bucks are already chasing. This guy wouldn't even stop to have his picture taken.
