There used to be one, but I killed him last year. Now none. I'm going to go confirm my suspicions this weekend. I'll report back. Till my report, there's no point in anyone else going down there. Save yourself the gas, Rick.

GMU's 117 and 121.
Dayton is 3 point minimum whitetail or mule deer even though there's no deer there. Wierd I know.

Post by: bearmanric on October 12, 2011, 01:12:43 PM: I decide I'll just stay home. I just spent 4 day's on the coast Indians have taken over. Pretty much done hunting. Going to just spend my time on predators. Rick
Title: Re: Undecided were to go
Post by: wreckerman5357 on October 12, 2011, 01:15:59 PM: There are plenty up north, just none down south. My buddy and I shot the last two whitetails in Dayton last year.

In all seriousness, if you are this late deciding where to go and don't have private land to hunt, I would try up north. If you know places to go in Colville, go there. Going someplace you know with the 4 pt restriction would be better than going someplace you don't.

I was there during muxxleloader season and it cooled off quite a bit towards the end. The next week is supposed to see the highs in the low to mid 50's. So it shouldn't be too hot. Good luck to you too. Hope to see ya if you do decide to head that way

Post by: CAMPMEAT on October 12, 2011, 08:13:00 PM: We've got deer all over the place here, just like hunters. Ya gotta know what is what and who owns what. Lotsa timber land here. Forest Capital ( Boise Cascade ) has around 100,000 acres in Ferry County alone.
Title: Re: Undecided were to go
Post by: kenjo on October 12, 2011, 09:22:52 PM: I'll be going up the **** again next week even though there are no deer there. In fact, one reason I go there is because my wife has ordered me not to shoot a deer, and going to the ****** ensures I won't because, well, there are no deer to shoot. I go there also because it's a great place to camp and I like to visit other hunter camps (thousands of them) and share stores about not seeing any deer, and how there won't be any deer until after mid-November when the snow gets deep in the high country and the bucks feel the urge to date some does. It's also very colorful up the *****; in addition to the autumn colors there are splashes of orange behind every tree--it looks like a big pumpkin patch in the woods. Well, I guess I shouldn't complain. I did shoot a nice buck on **** one year, when I was 17. I'm 64 now, and I'm pretty sure there haven't been bucks in that area ever since. I hear the Blues have lots of deer.
