4 days and a wake up!
« on: October 08, 2018, 10:39:31 PM »
I think this is the slowest year yet here when it comes to big game being taken pics.

4 days and a wake up for us modern guys. It going to be a great  season , serious Mulies all over Central WA!

Really?

I would agree with that for sure. Just as many animals getting taken I’m sure, just not a lot of sharing on here.

First time ever hunting mullies and I'm like a kid before X-mas morning!! I'm from the east coast so everything is 60 yards and under, there is no such thing as spot and stock so this is very exciting for me. I just hope I don't get out there in the morning and see more pumpkins then deer.

Unless you have access to private land you will likely have company (pumpkins)

If I hike in behind a gate how far do I need to go to get away from the crowd a bit? I know they say in general that most hunters don't go over a mile deer hunting but I some how feel like that's not the case here. I plan on going in and sitting before sunrise to a spot I scouted which is a good hill side to glass and sitting there all day till it's dark. If I get a lot of people I plan to have my camp on my back and hiking in deeper.

Little Pathfinder's 3rd deer season (he's 11).  First couple of years he didn't really know what to expect.  Now He's already got his gear laid out in his bedroom  :chuckle: :tup:
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Really depends on where you are hunting, but remember those other guys will put animals on the move so use them to your advantage and it may help you fill your tag.
Lead em if they're running.

Thats the only way to hunt deer in the Northeast where I'm from. I'm just hoping to get there fri night and have the spot I was planning on camping. Granted I have back up plans but still it would be nice to have the area I have scouted out. First year is always the toughest but I look forward to the challenge. If I can hunt small parcels of 800 acres with dog walkers, bikers and hunters everywhere and see deers I can find a way to make it happen with 10X+ the land and 10X the deer.
