Title: Whidbey, Camano, or....?
Post by: Evoac05 on October 23, 2011, 01:00:31 PM: So this year I have really laid down the boot leather (30+ miles). I have been over to Winthrop, Whidbey, and Camano with no success. :bash: I saw multiple doe, tracks, poop, (daily) and two bucks (not legal) over in Winthrop. Then I decided to try closer to home (Whidbey/Camano- Any Deer) and still no success. I'm making everyday a full day hunt and still nothing. I plan on hunting after work each day and plan to still hunt the two islands, but any idea if I would have better luck at Whidbey or Camano? They both seem like good places, but figured I'd ask and see if someone knew them better. I have done lots of research on both locations for public land and have found more public on Whidbey than Camano. I have already been to all the places I researched and they look pretty good, now I just need peoples opinions on each location and which might be a better place to focus on. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Feel free to pm me too. Thanks
