I shot this buck on the fourth day of the early season...before school. Saw eleven bucks the first day (three legal) and 4 the next day (one legal). I blew the stalk on two bucks the first two days. Thats hunting the sage though. I watched this buck bed with three does, crawled for 200 yards till I was within 50 of him. He stood up...my back safety wasn't off. Luckily he stood long enough for me to unscrew it and shoot him. The Ellensburg wind I think played into all that. He only went 20 yards and died before I could reload. I had to call my grammar professor to tell him I wasn't gonna make the test for the weirdest reason he had ever heard of. He is a 3x2 plus an eyeguard on the 3pt side. No monster, but meat for college.
