Title: White pine buttes
Post by: steve04 on January 25, 2011, 10:53:43 PM

Anyone hunt near white pine buttes just out of goldendale? I have not hunted there in about 6 years. Just curious if the deer numbers are up?

I did quite a bit of scouting over there this past year. I would not say the deer numbers are "up" they may have stabilized a little but they are still down from what it was 10 years ago. What has increased is the number of hunters in that area. If you want to hunt it this coming season, I would recommend working on securing private ground as soon as possible.

Which season are you looking at hunting? Archery, modern, or special permit?
