I would suggest hunting Whidbey Island. I know for a fact that the opportunity for big deer is great and it is a little known secret. People usually don't think about going and hunting a island but that is what has made the deer hunting on Whidbey Island so excellent. Go it em.Lies! Lies! Lies! There are no deer on this island. :chuckle:

There are lots of deer and big bucks on the Island, largest blackie i missed was one whidbey. Try Houston rd and hwy 20 area thats where it happend. He was at least 25 in wide and 6 to a side. Lots of people had run ins with him, he always stealthed his way out of trouble.

Thanks for the suggestion Dscubame. I will have to give Whidbey a shot, my wife's family has a place over there, so i know Whidbey a little bit. Thanks againThere are definately a lot of deer on this island. If you have somewhere you can hunt on the island, you really should give it a try. I took a really nice 4x4 off the island last year and my son took his first buck this year. I'll be hunting here during late archery.

I have seen atleast 3 different big bucks along the road right there and one of my buddies almost smoked what he said was a "monster" in his his truck a couple of weeks ago. I would love to hunt that area but i haven't been able to figure out who owns the property to go and ask for permission.

Hey patton1 since you live on the island, I take it that there really isn't much public land to hunt on?No, it's mainly private. There are a couple of public areas on the island. Search "whidbey" on this site and it will bring up some helpful posts. Good luck.
