Congrats on a great buck. Who cares where it comes from.
As for the locals, it must be only a few that hate wet siders. I hunt there every year during archery seasons 27yrs and I've taken some great bucks. I have had great success obtaining permission to hunt private lands. Most locals between goldendale and bickleton I feel are open to letting people hunt if your kind and respectful to them about hunting their land.
As for taking pictures, who cares if there's a recognizable land mark in the back ground. you or I are not the only ones that know where it is.
