Wow - that's a nice plump one.
Birds look pretty damn good as well. More grouse in your hands than I've seem all season.

I was late getting out, couldn't leave til late Saturday morning so decided to hit my old haunts in Region 3. Got to where I used to go (hunted region 5 for last few years) for late afternoon hunt. Found lots of tracks but all heading down lower. Got up Sunday and hit low, nothing so know they in middle. Monday morning was a bust but Monday afternoon found the does. Busted 3 on drive up drive to spot and just kept seeing them, left and right, just standing in clear cuts, real healthy population. But no bucks. Oh well, that a wrap for this trip. Had to go to property today and back to work Thursday.
Just got off a phone with a buddy, 3 for 5 on the Afternoon hunt in the same area I was seeing the does. A couple of forks but 1 nice 5x4. Guess they liked +4 over -20. Hope everyone else was able to hold out til things turned around.
I don't shoot innocent animals... Just the ones that look guilty!
Quick update for osoyoos, oliver to rock creek area roads. Main roads are all good. No snow to speak of. Higher elevation fsr's still have a decent amount of snow (8 inches?) and it's a bit rutted out but manageable. Especially good during the day as higher temps and sun keep things melting. Evenings have been freezing everything, including the roads so I'd say travel in and out while the sun is out if you can.
thanks ab3 - appreciate the info. I think the area you described is whitetail country, yes? Are folks successful still hunting for whitetails, or is it an ambush type of hunting?
forever noob

'Tis whitetail country. Although having said that I've seen a total of 3 in about 5 days of hunting for them, but I am nowhere near an expert.
I'd say ambush hunting for sure, especially given how crunchy and/it squeaky the snow can be.
