Well here is my first post. A friend referred me to this site as we were talking about rumors from other hunters & game departments - he said I should see what these folks are talking about.

Anyway - The pic is my WA buck from 2007 - I got skunked in 2008 after 20 days of hunting in WA & ID. The only really good news that came out of 2008 is that my wife bought me Remington Model 700 XCR in .300 Ultra Mag. So I am now in the process of gathering information on loading if anyone has any suggestions.

Since I am rambling - back to the pic - No good stories, just luck of being in the right place at the right time. It is my largest mule deer be a large stretch. It scored 169 6/8 non-typical net. outside spread to the edge of the kicker is about 29 1/2 inches - Inside spread is about 24. I was hunting by myself and none of my field pics turned out, so one is from the the taxidermists table and the other is from my living room after I received it back from the Taxidermist.

Great looking Washington buck. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the site. Would love to see a story about that big buck if you ever get time. GO COUGS!!

whacker1 · « **Reply #26 on:** December 11, 2008, 09:30:38 AM »

Not much of a story - first light, by myself, at about 100 yards running dead away from me. I sent one 140 grain Nosler Accubond out of my .270 right up his rear missing his hole by about an inch. Took out his hip, guts, and lungs and dropped in his tracks.

As far as what Unit - well it is in 113 - For those that have hunted this unit before, you probably know that you don't see many mule deer, because it is so brushy. But because they aren't seen that often, they do grow some big bucks. Success rate in that unit is really quite low to my knowledge. I didn't go there this year, because I spent my time in Idaho. Based on tag soup for 2008, that may have been a very poor decision.
