Great job!! I am in similar shoes, I have been hitting it hard for five years (a little embarrassed to admit) but get close and learn a lot every time out. I will release on the first legal/ethical animal that presents it self, though I to would like the antlers. I leave tonight at midnight to finish the last four days in south west Wash. If my hunt ends like yours did I will be ecstatic and proud! Way to go again, you did it, your in the club!!

Thanks all! I'm already planning next season's trip but still have two deer tags to fill this fall... Not done yet! I hope I have a few more stories to tell!

Nicely done brotha!  Glad I could be there to help make it happen!

Could definitely NOT have done it without you brother! An adventure for sure and thanks for the guidance. I learned a ton! Hope to get out there again really soon.
