First Archery Whitetail
« on: December 01, 2008, 10:43:43 AM »
This is my first year archery hunting for deer.  Got this guy last week right before T-Giving.  An OK 3x3.  Grunted him in and stuck him at about 18 yards.  He went about 100 yards before piling up.  His back straps were delicious :)

New Rule - count all points for whitetails, and (side x side) for blacktails and mulies.  WA is the only place I've been where people count whitetails by "western count" when the rest of the world speaks "eastern count".  And brow tines are scorable points - count 'em! 

You killed a GREAT 8 pointer!

Nicely done!

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
