That's a good buck.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Hey good buddy its been a long time!  I haven't had the time to get over and do that hunt yet, been devoting all my effort on this Entiat tag.  Now that I filled this Buck tag I'm going to be switching gears towards Moose, running short on time!

Entiat Buck I took last Saturday.  Shot him at 550 yds as he was about to go over a ridge top chasing Does, it was quick acting and he looked really good to me.  I passed up one earlier in the same day that had more mass but smaller forks I think, the mass could be throwing me off but either way it was a good Buck for me.  I wanted something with deeper forks and when I seen this guy I seen good forks and he looked wider than his ears, guess I just assumed he had the mass and size so I took the shot.  There was a quite a bit ground shrinkage to say the least and I clearly need to work on my field judging lol but Im happy none the less.  He is still a great Buck for me, I had my daughters along and my good buddy who came over on all the scouting and hunting trips for this hunt so it made the kill even better to share this moment with family and friends.  I have the whole hunt from summer scouting to the kill shot and pack out all filmed and will be putting something together for whoever is interested in watching this hunt unfold.  You guys that live up there have some beautiful country and some great hunting.  It gets a little wild during the general season and makes you wonder how anything can live through such catastrophic event but apparently they do because Im thinking this Buck isn't a migrator but a local Buck.  I did see a pile of small Bucks though, lots of forks, and threes, but in the end I shot the best buck I seen in all the scouting and hunting I did.  Wish I could have seen it in its glory with a pile of snow over there but didn't work out that way.  Hope you guys and gals enjoy!
Congrats! Nice buck! We're you able to fill your other straw tag?
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

Nice buck. No snow makes it a bit tougher . I would say there is a 95% chance that thing isn't a local buck.

Thanks for the info, I wasn't for sure or not but I figured there might be some local guys that would have a better Idea.  I have video of another good Buck that was hot on a Doe I'll try and post up when I get some stuff downloaded.
