It's happening on the Desert Unit. Friend took a nice 160+ away from a pod of does he was controlling on Thursday. He had one day to hunt. On Saturday I took his son into the Entiat Valley and he took a 30.5" which was engaging in foreplay, with rut stink all over his legs. Today on our ranch north of Moses Lake, I watched a mature 4 point kick another younger bucks ass away from 4 does he had guarded up, then beat his rack on a Russian Olive tree to proclaim victory. It's getting within one week of the money shot. Last week a different 4 point was trailing does on the ranch head down. Should be about the same in the area your targeting. Start hanging with the skank.
