Who hunts Lincoln County?

[yelp]

I have never hunted up there but might have to look into it  thanks yelp for taking the last nice buck on the eastside! I was hoping he could do a little more baby making before he got smoked  OH well I guess we will have to go chase blacktails..... 

  I shot the last buck in LIncoln county...no more bucks here!

I used to hunt in Lincoln County in the late 90's and early 00's, and I have seen some TOADS both Muley and WT there.  I got a deer every year I hunted there.  My then hunting partner has taken quite a few VERY nice deer from there over the last 20+ years.  One WT he has measured out at 183 7/8"  Washington or not, that is a big WT!

Born and raised in Lincoln County.  Only open land is some school sections and the BLM ground.  The BLM ground is saturated with hunters.  95% of the county is private and mainly posted by the farmers.  They post it because hunters can't behave.  We spend at least half of the hunting season chasing down people who trespass, cut fences and poach.  Land owners in Lincoln County have a bad taste in their mouth with hunters from out of the area.  You should hear some of the stories they tell you when they are caught.

We have harvested many bucks as big or bigger than the last picture.  There are many big bucks north of highway 28, mostly Mulies.  There are Whitetails north of highway 2, from Davenport to the county line, mostly down by the river.

In the fifties there were three schools that played 11-man football.  Odessa, Davenport, and Wilbur.  I know because I play for Odessa.  Never lost a game in 1958 and 1959.  Even beat Shadle Park in 59.

WOW! that's cool. I was always told that as a kid and the story never changed as I grew up. So presumed it was true. That is about the same time frame my dad was a Davenport Gorrilla. I saw a pic of him in uniform with leather helmet and no face mask....I understand the feeling of somebody outside the area that does not have any connections. In general the public are pigs. They really don't care about anything but themselves. You are correct about the whities. I am north of hiway two and have taken three real nice whities. Thanx for letting me know about the 2 other teams that played 11 man football back then.

11 man football was big back in the days...shoot, I went to school in lind and we played 7 man ball.... dang...

[GrainfedMuley]

No, there are at least 4 other pages.........................

[Ballance1]

Was it the Davenport Jack rabbits back then before Gorillas

[GrainfedMuley]

Not when my dad played for them. In the early to mid 50's. I have seen his school annuals and they say Gorrillas.

I've hunted here for years, and have seen deer that are absolutely HUGE. Were talking 200 plus inches and plus 270 lbs on the hoof. Yes there are a TON of small bucks, but that to me is always a great sign when you have a solid buck to doe ratio. The truly large mule deer are around and can be pursued if you know where they like to be when the presure starts. The cool thing about Linoln County is you never know if you will get a mule deer or whitetail, and there are opportunities for GIANTS either way you slice it. I hunt all public lands that anyone can access and see toads every year, and weather I used a rifle or bow I have never been skunked. If you put the effort in nessasary  out here, you will be successful for sure.
