We'll be up our property this year. Hope those who trashed it in the years past will show....
Nothing more disgusting then vandals. Its bad enough when you find it on public land (beer cans, household garbage, couches etc) but even worse when they are destroying someone elses personal property!

I go there sometimes with my bow but it's a different enviroment. Less people and very few get out and cover much beyond the roads.

Remember when they opened it up for "any deer" for youths a few years back? Had some guy shoot a 2 pt. for his cousin or something on an open hillside, just to the left and above where my son was. There was no way they couldn't see my kid there. That same year we were just coming out of the treeline onto an open hillside when we heard bullets zinging over us. We hit the deck and rolled behind a tree for that one. The next year, I was watching a draw about 200 yards up from a forest service road when I hear shots coming from behind me. A little doe ran right past me not 10 yards away. Fortunately I was backed up to a rock and sitting down. I gingerly crept over the hill so see a bunch of "adults" parked on the road with their rifles pointed in my general direction. I haven't been back since. Too many people doing too many stupid things. Like i said, I'd been going there for over 30 years, and it's only gotten worse within the last 10.
All 3 of those incidents happened on the Perrygin side of Bowen, within 500 yards of the old wdfw office and farm for those of you who know the area.
We now hunt the open sage and scablands around Quincy.

Do the deer even do that migration thing anymore? I thought we ended that a few years back with consistent over harvest / mega winter kill DunnoAs stated earlier, I used to hunt that area. I started hunting the Blue Buck Mtn/Cougar Lake/Campbell Lake/Perrygin Ridge area in the early 70's with my father in law. He told me stories from the 60's of watching herds of "100's" of mule deer tracking across Bowen Mtn. (lower Blue Buck Mtn.) migrating through. I took a nice migratory 4 pt. there in the late 70'. Problem is, that those were the days when the general season ran through the 1st week of November. We don't even get close to a time when the migratory mulies come into that area. Go to Winthrop in the mid winter time, and you'll see the migratory deer. Not earlier than that though.

Agreed, it is usually just the resident deer that you get a crack at for general season. The migratory deer dont start moving down off the mountains until there is lots of snow that pushes them down to find food. I have yet to see cold enough weather/enough snow to push them down early enough to hit the general season.
