Title: Great numbers in the palouse?
Post by: SirSpencer on October 16, 2011, 09:15:34 PM: Not seeing anyone posting any photos of deer from the palouse area. I have never seen so many bucks in my entire life, thinking these last few weak winters are really helping out the numbers. Saw 2 Monster mulies that just wouldn't hop to the right side of the fence.

Wondering if anyone is noticing this same trend in buck / doe ratio in the area.

I've been shocked at the lack of shots these past few mornings.. I've only heard three, all of which were today and most likely were firing at the same animal.

We saw close to twenty five bucks between Saturday and Sunday and i think 10 were legal. Our group of 8 got three bucks, two whities and one muley. We were in the Steptoe unit.
