1st maybe, depends on how many days left, 2nd no, 3rd I'd need a better look but probably not. If I waited that long for a late season tag I wouldn't waste it on regular season

So many options....
i couldn't take buck 3 in modern firearm general season if i had a late season tag.... but i may be kicking myself after passing on him.

I'd shoot any one of them, but I haven't fired on a legal buck in 4 years. I've had it with the brush on the west side and I haven't hunted eastern Washington before, but this is the year! Heading out Thursday for Dayton.

The first two would be yes (not this year though) and no. The last would be tough as I currently have an Entiat late tag for archery. I haven't killed anything with my bow yet (this is my 3rd yr for deer) and that would be a great deer for my first with a bow. Having hunted Swakane though and seen some nice deer during the snowy late season, it would be hard to give up the chance at shooting something really nice. So my answer is.....I don't know right now, and probably won't until that moment. But I am really looking forward to finding out the answer during my week hunt at Thanksgiving!!!
This is actually something I keep playing in my head (and now I have a photo visual, thanks Bone) because I'd rather have a plan and stick with it, but the thrill of the moment is so hard to overcome.

Would pass on all three in the situation you gave. But probably tag the 3rd buck during Washington General, and again he might go down on the last day of the Late Hunt. I'm assuming he'll be about 24-25 wide and about 155 from that side view.

If I had like 5 days straight to hunt:
1st buck-----shoot
2nd buck-----pass
3rd buck-----pass
Otherwise I'd shoot them all if I was only hunting the weekend.

Definitely yes to the first two. I didn't get an elk this year and my freezer is nearly empty. On the third one my answer would be no if I had been putting in alot of time scouting the area and yes if I didn't put in the time to do the scouting. However I would be happy with all three, I'm jones'in for some garlic breakfast sausage, yum yum.

Either weapon, any season, all three would have been in the freezer, without question.

I'm tippin' the first one over, passing on the second. I would pass on the 3rd since I have a desert tag this year.
