Title: Teanaway deer numbers this year.
Post by: jjdavis2222 on October 21, 2010, 04:22:42 PM: Used to hunt the Teanaway every year up til a couple years ago. Just wondering if anyone has been hunting there so far this year and if many bucks are falling. Deer numbers way down this year? Thanks

It was like they had their own flood light for eating while the hunters had to disarm lol!

Spent ten days in 29 pines (with the freak screaming Chuck chuck Chukie in my camp) YES - i wanted to shoot him.

Did see one camp that had a hog next to the fire. Think I saw the picture of it at Teanaway mercitile. It was something like a 6x5 not to wide but had some mass. The store only had 5 bucks come in for pics the whole general rifle season! No washington state mulie this year! But got a big trip planned for Montana in 2 weeks!! :IBCOOL:

Warm weather and a near full moon all week really hurt us this year. We've got a big crew and average around 5 or 6 bucks every season. This year, we knocked down two and felt pretty fortunate. The weather just screwed everything up. I heard about a few big ones and saw a few average 3 points poking up in the bed of a few rigs. That's it.

I posted a pic of the dandy 28 inch 3 point that we took on opening day. Check out the "Masher 3pt" post and I'll update with another really great 3pt that my dad took on the last Saturday.

Post by: Cougeyes on October 26, 2010, 02:23:38 PM: Saw 3 legals bucks in 5 days hunting. Dad got one decent 4 point. More deer seen this year than the past two years. Agree that the moon and bright nights kept the deer out late. Most deer were moving to bed down at daybreak and would only come out briefly an hour or so before dark. Not many shots heard either.
