COLVILLE, Wash.–As the weather grows cold and snowy and the rut comes on, November’s late hunts are the best time to shoot a trophy whitetail buck in Northeast Washington and North Idaho. “The greatest concentration of deer and ... highest success rates” come from low-elevation private lands, says outfitter Dale Denney (509-684-6294) in Colville, but some big bucks can be found on state and federal lands just off the valley floors. Snows will also sometimes concentrate deer along the region’s reservoirs. Some hunters rattle from treestands while others still-hunt clear-cuts and stream corridors.” –LEROY LEDEBOER AND RALPH BARTHOLDT
