Id say off to the taxidermist with that one!
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Congrats! You guys did a heck of a lot better than me.
Way to go.

I saw no real signs of the rut like I did last year how about you? We didn't see a lot of bucks and the ones we did were by themselves for the most part or with other bucks. Both buck we got were with does but didn't show any real interest in them. To bad you are not hunting this weekend in the past the second weekend of the hunt the bucks are getting more active.

The buck I screwed the pooch on Tuesday was chasing does. He was probably about the size of the 1st one you posted.  I passed him on Monday, regretted it, went back up Tuesday looking for him and found him. He was the only buck I saw of any size, and the only mature buck I saw that had any interest in does. We did see a few of the young whitetails with their nose to the ground pretty hot and heavy on the trail of the does. The mule deer were all in...rutting, lip curling, chasing, etc. Just running around stupid. Tons of fun to watch.
I definitely should have took the 2nd weekend off. Initially I had the whole season off. Crazy stuff happened with work and they needed me to come back. If I knew it was going to go that way, I would have swapped, but it was too late and I can't screw around with my job.

Life gets in the way sometimes. Sounds like you had a good time even though it didn't pan out the way you wanted. I drew the Wenaha west tag two years ago and had a fun hunt but the weather was to nice and we didn't see any of the bucks we saw scouting. We only saw 5 deer and three were 2pts it was still fun just getting out their and hunting anyways.
