Im partial to Whidbey, seeing how I live there. There are some bigger ( not BIG ) bodied deer here, but I have seen alot of nice racked bucks in the past that were no bigger body size than a small dog. Never hunted orcas, so I cant really help you out on that one.

Good luck with what ever option you choose.


Now I just need late Muzzle to start so I can fill my two tags.

I have hunted the the islands quite a bit...hit Orcas Island for sheer numbers...meat for your freezer. But there is very little public land there.  I have shot some nice bucks off of Widbey Island during the late season.  I am a deer hunter and not a horn hunter...I am htting the San Juans in the morning to fill my second deer tag.  First deer I see...dead deer and I will eat every piece..YUMMY

Ok.  Here you go.  Its not a monster but is better than tag soop.  He had a doe with him.  He had one eye guard but he broke it off at some point.  This is the third deer from the same spot.

I don't really know where I was. There were a whole bunch of old army barrecks around and he was standing in the middle of a soccer field :chuckle:
Just kidding. It was on the south end.

I did see a really nice 4x4 with his nose in a does butt about 10 yards from one of the old buildings at Fort Casey last year.

DAMN THAT'S A GREAT ISLAND DEER!!!  I heard they were midgets out there...  :dunno: A friend of mine passed a nice 4 point because he thought he was shooting a baby.... This was 15 years ago or so though...  :dunno:

I cant even find a doe right now, unless its at one of the parks. trust me, if I did, I wouldnt be preparing to eat my tags. Still some time left, maybe this weather will change a little. I know these crystal clear nights out are not helping our cause any.

Nice deer:) I deleted that last thread, my older boy wrote it! He just wants to find a doe. It has been a hard during the late season this year. Still have 9 days hopefully they can get one.
