Eastern WA Raffle Deer Tag

[boneaddict]

ah to hell with her,,,,here are two quick pics.  Let me know if you are interested.  The 4x4 is more square, and not quite as wide, but at 30 or more.  Definate 180 net, close to 190 gross, and you have to know me by now that I'm conservative and know antlers.  the trash buck is about the size of the govenors.  Not quite as tall, but more to his stickers.

Hard to believe that this guy is the smallest of the three.


50 cal....  start early and be careful man.  I just came over Blewitt and it was NASTY!

p.s.  he has abouta 3 to 4 inch tine coming off one of his bases, forward and up a little.  I hope I have it on film.  I thought it was an eyeguard in the spotting scope, but then he looked our way.  He could care less about our presence.  I finally got tired of taking from behind shots and hd Idabooner blow on his predator call from Bearman.  Made him look at us for a couple shots, then he went back to eating.  There were a couple other smaller bucks around as well, but I know you aren't interested in them.  I'll get a bunch more pics up when the screaming is done.  Damn she is pissed.

Up in the Twisp/Winthrop area the last two days. Saw a couple 180 class bucks but nothing bigger. Out in the morning again to check for new blood, will drive to Entiat if I find a hog, hang in there 300.

[huntnphool]

Off to bed got to get up in 3 hours to find that 190+ for 300, will let you guys know if I find one.

Nice job Bone! They all sound like Shooters for the year we are having.......

[dbllunger]

300 keep at it man.  Hard to hunt that long totally focused.  Stick with your goals and don't settle for less then you want.  Wish you luck.

Hey guys,   The glory years of 02 and 03 are pretty much over   We took the sleds all over the lower Entiat, We saw alot of deer but no monsters. I dont know why I was surprised after all the biggest bucks stick out and they have to dodge 375 permit holders in a solid month in wide open country,with snow pushing them down and hot does running everywhere.Then if you still have your raffle tag add 40 or 50 snowmobiles running everywhere.If I was a big buck and somehow I survived I would go down to the breaks of the coumbia and jump in front of a truck.The state sure screwed this one up.Oh well,Its still a good place to hunt .  GOOD LUCK DAN!!

Divorced yet?

Depends what minute of the day it is.  I took one day off in two weeks to go look for bucks and spend a day with my Dad, and that was just too much.  She forgot the 5 days last week that I spent at home on vacation doing family things.  Go figure!
Bak to photgraphing woodducks on my lunch break I guess.    Dan has the coordinates...lets see what happens.

Rougheye, its pretty ridiculous up there isnt it?? pretty sad as to what has happened with the herd. And the Game department doesnt care. they think things are just great.  It could be one of the best mule deer herds around for big mature bucks. But for some reason they just want them all shot.  Why to many people hunting, way to many people just up there in general on the winter range.  I am sure Dan appreciated all your help.  And i am sure you still had fun.

Good luck dan, hurry up and shoot something, I cant handle another one down to the wire. Im starting to have sleepless nights and nightmares from last year haha

[rougheye]

Im sure I might offend some people here but why can u ride snow mobiles in winter range for deer but not elk  Its big fines over here if u even accidentally ride into a herd of elk.To many shed hunters riding all the roads  . Ya, I had loads of fun.Any excuse i can get to go into the mountains.
