Title: NE wash deer hunting? Tree stands or groung and pound?
Post by: Mudman on May 03, 2012, 11:30:51 AM: So after hunting a week last year in ferry county I am thinking treestands may be the way to go in september. Any thoughts on this strategy? Also it seems bears are moving from wild berries to what food source? September time frame.

Try a distressed rabbit call for bears up there in the NE corner. After we get outta our tree stands, we'll do this during the middle of the day or early afternoon before we head back to the stands for the evening hunt. Hit the call, and then wait a little bit. We've had them come charging in on a dead run, and others have taken their time and were sneaky in their approach.

My buddy talked to 2 front stuffers who claimed they watched 5 wolves take cow down at feeding/roundup field off trout creek rd. I saw many free range cattle but no signs of kill? Hmm.
