I see 4 deer...possibly 5
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I only see 3 and I think the doe peeking from behind the tree is a whitetail?

Also to the OP I don't think there are any high hunt areas in the NE corner

I thought there were only 3.  Maybe there are more?  I can't find them if there are.

Andrew im Looking to do a high buck in one of the wilderness areas, glacier peak or paysaten most likely.  NE corner is just where I hunted last year,  didn't mean to make it sound like I was trying to do a high hunt in the NE corner.

Can't wait for winter to be over

And for those doing some armchair scouting and looking for their own sekrit spot on public land, keep in mind that Gmap4 can show you public land boundaries.  Just scroll down a bit on this page for the map links.

http://www.propertylinemaps.com/p/public_land_map/state/WA/_washington_layers_off.html

Each map can show a bunch of different GIS overlays.

To get the most out of these maps, please click "About this map" in the upper left corner.

I have definitely headed out to a Google map clearing to find out it's been overgrown. How do you tell when the satellite  photos are taken?

Usually the date is shown at the bottom of the window in Google earth

Click the icon of the clock with the green arrow wrapping around it.  That will bring up a time line in the top left corner with a slide bar; you can choose various dates when pictures were taken of the area you are viewing.

I use google earth all the time along with my topo maps. I've been starting to hunt out of state and Google earth helps a ton! Especially with looking for potential camping spots and the what's over that next ridge question. I find lots of good hidey holes and more importantly water. I'm scouting all over Arizona and water is one of the things I search for (mostly water tanks).

Any of you use Google earth to do some pre season scouting? 

I'm new to hunting mule deer, last year was the first time and now I'm hooked.  Was up in the NE corner Saw lots of mulies,  lots of fork horns and does, hiked a lot of country. Even found a moose shed (3rd pic) Didn't harvest a mule deer, but I am going to make it happen this year.

Last year  Area was really think, so I'm trying to locate some spots to scout come Spring that will allow me to get deep 5 miles or so, and be able to glass.

Hopefully I'll  draw multi season, so I'm Looking to do the early high buck hunt. My question is what do you look for on Google earth?  What makes an area look "bucky" to you from a satellite view?  Any tips?  Everything I've seen online is more oriented towards whitetail stand hunting,  I'm looking to be able to spot and stalk.

Anyone wants to PM me a sample screenshot of an example to what I should be looking for would be great.  Doesn't have to be from this state.  I've got a few spots marked up on google that I'm looking to scout.  I'll post a few screenshots up later to see if I am on the right track.

Few pics from last year.

5th pic down.... How many deer? :)




I use it alot, onXmaps sells a topo for it just like the one that goes into your GPS i think its like 30$ If I remember, I bought it like 4 years ago so I dont remember off the top of my head. Its great, can search around from home and see who owns what properties and what GMU's your in. Its a one time fee so Its a killer price IMO.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

I don't think they do the google earth layer anymore. I was looking into it last year and they said they no longer support google earth

That's a shame if they don't, I use it more than I use my layering system on my GPS map. I mostly only use it when Im trying to find a specific GMU line or someones property line, Kept me from illegaly trespassing and recovering my deer last year. Had to jump through hoops and knock on every door in the neighborhood to find someone that knew the land owner, He was not happy the deer wound up on his property. Although he did let me recover it. Best part was I knew the name of the land owner so I could get right to the point.
