Drew late rifle grayback

[huntinkid20]

Pretty excited 3 of us drew the tag. Not the biggest bucks in the state but should be a great hunt with some good scouting and hard hunting! I know weather will play a big role to get the big boys to come down. Ive spent quite a bit of time in the area both hunting and hiking and know it fairly well. That being said, i wouldnt turn down a PM with any tips or info 

In the meantime lets see your late Grayback Bucks!
ill start with an archery buck

[huntinkid20]

Nice buck. Which boundary? n, s. e. or w? Public land?

[bowhunterwa87]

.yakima nation reservation boundary. Just as you leave the Rez on satus pass. Yes its public. I shoot a fair amount of deer there and near soda springs as well.

[TommyGun496]

My 2011 grayback buck.  We went four for four.  Alot of fun.

OK, teach me what "benchleg" means.  I assume "benchleg blackie" is just cross between mulies and blacks, but idk.  Educate me, turn my ignorance into knowledge! 

[dr.derek]

Ive been eyeing that tag.

[tmike]

My dad shot that buck. He was hiking out of a canyon, cut through a switchback on a jeep trail and jumped it in about 3 feet of grass. Scored right around 155.

[tmike]

huntinkid I decided to throw you a little info through PM, don't know if it will help. It was a week or so ago, did you get it 

[furbearer365]

OK, teach me what "benchleg" means.  I assume "benchleg blackie" is just cross between mulies and blacks, but idk.  Educate me, turn my ignorance into knowledge! 

That is exactly what it means.  Perfectly on the border of where blacktails end and mulies begin.  If you head west from there they are considered Columbian blacktail and if you head east, barrelnecked mulies.  If you get snow up high, some guys shoot the muley looking bucks that come out of the mountains, the guys that hunt lower land tend to get those stubnosed blackies.

[get one leakin]

Tommy gun Nice buck.  Dark and heavy eye guards.  Id say that's a typical top end really nice buck for Grayback.  They kill bigger here each year and I have myself,  but IMO that type of buck is one you don't pass opening day to the end, late buck or especially general season here.  I love those black horned mountain bucks

[get one leakin]

And hey carp keep those sage brush bucks outta the grayback thread

[carpsniperg2]

HEY! There is one or 2 oak tree's around

I seem to remember your little bro mashing a big sage brush buck that got lost over there

[get one leakin]

Maybe I will try to find a pic of that thing to put on here...  That was a mountain buck born and bred...  He seriously hasn't hunted since he shot it, says hes retired...

[huntinkid20]

Tmike, yep just got a chance to respond last night. Thanks for the info. As well. Thanks for everyone else's info so far as well. We are getting excited for this hunt. Keep the info and pics coming!!
