Bones Alta Hunt

[boneaddict]

Nearest blacktail is well, a long ways away.  I saw one in Lime Creek once in the Twisp River but no one believed me.  Damn near got in a fight about it in school.   THat was 20 years ago.

like i said throw some oak trees in that pic and you have a klickitat buck. go get them bone and keep up the good fight. J

Theres roosevelt blood in the blues thats why there are so many non typical bulls down there. You never know where a buck or bull will migrate too  Great capes on them bucks Bone. If you cant get a great big buck , do some cape shopping for me

I cant wait to hear todays report and see pics....

I wonder if Bone's going to bust out the buck roar.....

[Hornseeker]

I just looked at the weather where he's at.... Looks like he'll be WET again today!

[WDFW-SUX]

Its pretty awful over that way right now

I'll seccond the Klickitat bench buck for that rearend.

I hunt them every year and if you didnt say otherwise I would have placed that pic in Klickitat or Grayback.

The brown stripe down the middle and all the white on the rear sure does look like a whitey though. I think around Fort Lewis they have some whitetail/blacktail crosses. Maybe a pic of one of those would shed some light.

The above link seems to indicate that a cross wont survive very well becuase it doesnt know how to escape with a given method. Maybe you could find the deer again and jump it to see how it runs. If it stotts, maybe its just a goofy looking mule deer. If it runs, then maybe its a cross of some sort. If it runs and stotts, well then who knows.

Could be fun research.

Hahaha just lost some coffee right there!!!   Could you imagine telling that story to a Warden or Bio???   

"So there I was.... stalking this supposedly hybrid buck when an idea popped into my head!"

LMAO (btw, not sure last night has fully worn off yet!)

I won the who can get wetter contest.  Lots of action early and lots of action late.  I killed something withthe bow, and hopefully have pics of one that I about *censored* myself for not shooting.  Saw a BIG one that I didn't get on film, or shoot.  Details to follow.  I need to warm up, get something in the gut, dry some gear and look at some pics.

The deer stotted when I jumped him. THen pranced like a whitetail. LOL

[WDFW-SUX]

Im ready

[MichaelJ]
