Manson bucks??

Just a 5x5 with eye guards? Damnit Bone, post the picture already! Or which month in your calendar is it??

THe long story is there is no story.   A 5x5 with eyeguards.  I haven't told my story as there is no story.  I don't feel like being judged for my feelings about how pitiful my hunt was.   I saw him from the road, walked up to him and killed him.   That kind of hunt does not float my boat but I don't want to seem smug about someone elses form of hunting.   I hope all those poised for judgement can understand.   Meat is in the freezer, the $180 tag is notched.  I don't have pics.  I plan on doing the maceration thing maybe.

Fair enough Bone! Thanks for the reply! Opportunity comes in all fashions and one should not be condemned for taking advantage of the opportunity given. Congrats on filling the freezer

I hunted the Manson unit one day, pretty fair conditions, snow at the top and rainy low.  There were does and smaller 1's and 2's around...

I've shot a few deer that just happened apon me in the easiest way as well Bone... Just hopped out the truck, load, and no packing... One I was very thankful for.. Last day of late season.. Hadn't seen a thing.. Pouring rain... Soaked to the bone with an empty freezer.. Called it for the season... I was done, wooped, wanted to go home.. 1/4 mile from pavement and I couldn't believe my eyes when a heavy 2x3 BT stopped in the middle of the road at 20 yards... I probably hiked 100 miles that year scouting and hunting to shoot one on the road 20 yards from my truck... Lucky yes... Lazy and lack of hunting no... It's not how I prefer it to be done.... But I sure wasn't complaining any of those times!!

Congrats hope we get to see some pics!!!

$180 tag?  I must have missed something here...or maybe you are counting the costs for all your other WA State tag fees....just curious.

Multi season tag.

Yes, multi season tag.    All my other Wa stuff.    Thats closer to $300 isn't it?

Even if you saw him from the road, still takes a bit of knowledge and experience to get close enough to stick one with a bow. Did you use your recurve?

Right on Bone! Nice buck! Now you can get back out there and hunt with your camera without all of that pesky archery equipment weighing you down.

Nice indeed

If I remember last year Jackelope took a nice deer just off the road....weren't they hunting hard up in the snow and he whacked a good one. If I remember the thread he put in a lot of time and the one that hit the dirt just happened to be a chip shot when it finally happened. Glad you notched the tag and enjoy all the dinners that will come from it.
