how did you make out in region 3 and 8

[gutpile]

i was wondering how many got 4 point bucks this year in region 3 and 8?
i was in both region and i didn't see anything worth shooting their was lots of snow in mid november. there was little sign, iam puzzled

[Richter313]

I scored with a nice little 4x4 whitetail on the 14th of Nov.In region 8.

[squamishmiles]

Spent quite a bit of time hunting in 3-17 and 3-31B as we had some moose draws but no luck. I skidded by a cow, but by the time we got out of the truck all we had was a shoulder and an ass shot, so we didn't shoot. Saw does earlier in the season but that was all. Finished off with a 4 day hunt at the end of the month and never saw an animal.

I did great. Tagged out on WT and mulies in 3 in 8 this year. One was a 4x3 muley in 8. My hunting partners did really well too.

Many days I saw 30+ deer. Of all the days hunting this year (probably 60 outings, including short after work hunts), I had only 3 hunts where I didn't see deer. Anecdotal evidence of solid populations, for sure, but if the deer weren't there, I wouldn't see them. :wink:

I'll let you know what's on the winter range in a couple of months, as I'm fortunate that my office window overlooks some popular winter range. Last year, I could see up to 70 WTs a day up there, through the shitty old Bushnells in my desk drawer, no less! Imagine what I could see through my Leicas! :mrgreen:

[horshur]

This was my best season in a few years........

A bit of unsolicited advice. If you steel yourself to pass on smaller antered deer you best be prepared to go home skunked....when you look a gift horse in the mouth you will be dissapointed!!!!

I never cut a mule deer tag the two previous years.

[sarnold]

I got a beauty out of 8 11x11
and from what i have herd and seen around vernon this year was the best year in the past couple! mullies and whities

I hunted up the nor, for about a total of seven hours of leg work, saw 22 mule deers. Didn't connect on that big one I saw headin out and over and gone, poof. Houdini buck, you need lots of luck with the Houdini --
I'd say the one thing I didn't see was a foot of snow, try ZERO.

WT Doe in late October in 8 (Draw) and a 4x4 Mulie in 3 Mid Nov. Neither special, but better luck than some people I know. Would have had a 4x4 WT to go with it, but 2 old geezers showed up, drove by me and popped him........

[chainsaw]

region 8 was good to me this year 6 point bull elk ,2 point bull moose,4x3 mulie. Went to region 3 2 weeks ago and took a small 4x3 mulie

[mark]

I saw nearly 20 bucks 4 point or more, harvested the largest of them! Also arrowed a whitey DOE the other day. Was no problem filling the tags thats for sure!
My wife also passed on both mulie and whitey bucks, while holding out for larger ones!

[one-shot-wonder]

Took a 4x4 MD in region 8 and could have taken a couple smaller ones in region 3 but decided to pass as I have a smorgasbord of meat in the freezer. Also passed on a 4x4 WT in region 8.

It was a year much like the last few....lots of deer in lots of different places.

[kennyj]

4x4 + brows in reg 3.

[Lance Barkman]

Shot a 5x4 Mulie in 8

[showtimebc]

saw lots of deer everyday, usually 30+. passed up around 75 bucks before finally pullin the trigger on a 5x5 muley. also got a whitetail buck. this was all in region 3.

got out about 5 days worth in region 8, saw lots of deer there, about 10 bucks, but no shots were fired.

never saw one big hog of a buck that got me really excited, but I still had a great season!

great buck frenchbar!! nice and heavy!!

[zimbu]

I would have been happy with even a little buck, but the only one I saw was a 5X3 muley humping a doe on the side of the highway on IR land.
Saw less than 30 WT and muley combined, all of them does. Saw 37 moose, inlcuding a large mature, and a spike fork that I had to let walk as it was ten minutes too dark.:cry: Ten of those sightings were likely repeats. I sure had fun trying though!

[Steeleco]

Saw more deer in 8 this year than any year past. Found a nice trail that will be visited again early next season. There's one BIG buck that I hope survived the onslaught. We did get 2 deer in 8 and 2 in 3. A great year all in all.

didn't shoot a thing.....................

[landphil]

didn't shoot a thing.....................

Same here.:cry: I saw less deer all seaon this year than I normally do in one day. It didn't help that I had no time off work this season due to a new job, but wasn't even able to connect on a Reg. 3 doe draw - had one in the crosshairs @ 250 yds for a second before she bolted, but that's it. Saw several every day in Reg. 8 on the way to and from though. They know where they are safe.

Pfffffffffft! Sleeping off your green gills in the hut while Buttshot smokes a 140 class whitetail serves ya right! Maybe you learned your lesson...then again, maybe not...

Falling asleep???...passing up 180" +mulies so someone else can shoot it???????

Sounds like I found a new partner!:wink:

If only I could remember my bolt:roll:.

We take turns sleeping and I wouldn't have shot that rat - if that kid could keep his finger out of the trigger guard it would have been a nice buck in another year or two.

And it's a good thing I was sleeping otherwise he probably would have gotten so excited he would have missed it completely like every other time but once that I've called a buck in for him.

My trigger doesn't normally work - between the two of us we might be able to fashion up some sort of rig. Might have a problem with the left-handed thing.

Saw 20 something in Region 3 yesterday morning. Someone must have told them your schedule...................

[dawn2dusk]

This is my 2009 Region 8 Whitetail. Mid Nov hunt. Was tough - deer were nocturnal - lots of hunting pressure near the roads. Trail cams saw more hunters than deer! I let 2 spikes walk and bagged this guy on the 7th day. Good thing as I had to get back to the island before the blacktail rutt ended.

So I guess your snoring sounded like buck grunts? :rolleyes:

[Untouchable]

I shot a four point in both regions:evil:

Obviously! Oh well, there's always next year, and meat-like stuff in the gorcery stores. (work and other commitments prevent any further hunting days this year)

[dana]

Killed a LEH muley doe and a small Region 3 dinky dog deer for the freezer. Since yesterday was pretty much the end for me, I'll be eating my muley buck tag for dinner on Thurs.

[quackquackbang]

I got my first mulie in region 3!!!:-D

[Andy83]

3rd year in a row.................... nil..... oh well, maybe next year
