Spotted two legal bucks on Monday relaxed in a small draw out of sight from the road. I told my daughter, 13, about the bucks and that one was small but unique and the other was also small but a 3x2 with eye guards, she said "let go Dad!" Tuesday at dawn we had just got into position and within seconds of starting to glass I spotted four guys dressed in orange only 100 yards from where I had spotted the bucks the day before. Shots rang out, I saw both buck moving away about 200 yards to our left. The 3X2 went down and the unique buck went out of sight. I don't think they knew it was a legal buck. I figured the unique buck would go over the ridge and into one of several drainage's...an hour later I spotted him bedded 800 yards away. After an hour long stalk and some tense moments she squeezed off a round double lunging the buck. DRT. Her first Washington buck, she has a muley buck and goat from Wyoming. We had a great time together and she was a big help boning the deer out.
