[Old Man Yager]

Getting bored and looking through some old pics. I came across my 2005 Unit 290 Mule deer. Any body else want to post theirs, would be cool to see some others from that unit.

I had dead batteries in the camera and didn't even think to re set the date and time. I was just happy I had spares in my pack!! I was hunting in early November.

What about a fat doe. Isn't that worth posting too.

Nice buck

there wont be many..cause the hype this unit receives really is let down on quality I see shot every year. Most are avg bucks u could just go to MT or ID and shoot on a OTC hunt

You can say the same about every unit in this state.

not really...this unit is by far the most popular in the number of applicants in this state..people drool over this mediocre unit for some reason.I remember a pic one year of 4 rifle bucks shot 1 year on the cover of a magazine I would of never shot in WA on a OTC tag. The hype this unit receives u would think there was 220" bucks everywhere or atleast nice ones..people seem to think they drew a Henries tag when they draw it. I also dont have high expectations of other units in the state, but Id much rather have a migratory mule deer tag than this one tho

You're drunk, everyone knows that unit has the biggest bucks.

Its got the genes.

ANY permit mule deer unit will yield a big mule deer no matter the unit...all about the number of hunters being limited..at some point a big buck or 2 will emerge over time and a lucky hunter will take it. Im not saying the Desert doesnt have any big bucks or none have been taken, but the talk and hype over it u would think 180" buck is the norm and its not and by far.The same results could be done with any area in the state if you only give out a few tags
