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!

No such thing as a "OK" deer.  They are all trophies my friend.  Great work.

Well done Intruder, make space on the wall, just like EastWa said any whitetail with archery gear is a trophy :tup:

Ya, I gotta go with Pa on this one as well. If I called that deer an eight point in my hunting camp, I might get stuck doin dishes for a few days until I learned my lesson  ;)  Besides - why would I live in the west and use eastern count? Just as well live in the South and call myself a yankee.  :tung:

Of course I'm pokin a little fun, but if someone showed me that picture on the street and asked me to describe it - good lookin three point.
