Ripper Grays Harbor Buck!
« on: November 13, 2008, 10:22:38 PM »
Well.....not to be outdone by the "serial killers"....lol. Today I went out and shot my best blacktail to date.  I just got home and have to head up tomarrow to get the rest of him.  Hunted most of the day in the mid-elevation seeing alot of pre-rain sign but nothing fresh.  So I decided to head up high and on top thinking the deer did not like the water roar from the drainages and also it was just drier on top.  I crept down an old skid road and jumped a doe....crept another 40 yards and spotted a body with its head down.  I could tell it was a buck.  It seemed like forever with his head down but when he lifted it.....he went down.  25 yds.  Hes a great buck for this area.  His body wasnt that large and he was still a fairly young buck.  Heres some pics!





Vegetarians?..Vegetarians are cool.  All I eat are vegetarians....except for the occasional mtn. lion steak.

That is one fine Blackie if you ask me. Great job. I hope to find one like that this weekend.

Right on Nels, but I gotta ask, "what's up with the 3x4's today. :chuckle:
Makes me wish I had gone out, but then with the freezer going belly up... :bash:

Congrats.

Its rare in this area to see a true 4x.  Most of the big ole bucks are just huge 3x's.  NO FREEZER!  :yike:  Time to pony up for a new one billie or just become a vegetarian  :chuckle:

Becoming a vegetarian just might be cheaper in the long run.  :yike:

Great blacktail!
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.
