Forgot about the porcupine shooting, that was great.

The other thing I noticed about all of the deer was they looked really healthy, big bodies on all of them. That may have made the antlers look smaller.  The whitetail seemed to have long tines.  I can't judge score on whitetail, just a mule deer guy.  I would love to shoot a 120-130" whitetail.  It would be the biggest one on my wall....whitetail that is.

Yeah blast those porcupines

You plucking the guard hair dale?

I think 5 dead porkies in one day is our pork record. 
We see porkies almost every day but don't shoot them if we are on bucks.

I'd say bodies are average sized northwest whitetails. The best thing about that hunt, it's not a question if you will get a mature buck, the question is which buck do you want to shoot? We been 100% for many years, it's an extremely fun hunt that anyone can do.

I would say this was exactly what was portrayed in the show and I would imagine that many people would sign up for this exact hunt. It looked like easy ground to hunt, plenty of game to see and like you say you get to pick the buck you want to shoot.....at.  Nothing you can do about a guy missing due to buck fever.   The good news it appeared that there were a ton of deer so you shouldn't go home empty handed unless you choose to do so or run out of ammo.

Did you ask them to burn you a copy of the show and send it to you?  I would think they would be able to do that.

How did you hook up with them?  They reach out to you or vice versa?

They were recommended to try us. They've done three hunts with us so far and coming back for more hunts this coming fall.

Jeeze the snow and wind and cold brought back some memories for sure! Lottsa deer for sure and he made a beautiful shot on the muley but I didn't think it was all that big. Didn't look wider than the ears but it was a nice animal. As long as the hunter was happy with it that's all that counts.

It wasn't a big buck and ordinarily I would have passed that buck to let him grow at least another year. But the guy said he would much rather shoot the mule deer than the bigger whitetail that he missed and we were watching for, so that was what we did. The guy is from Illinois and he already has a 160ish or something whitetail on the wall so he was more excited for any mule deer than another whitetail.

It was a good buck especially for the last day, after missing the whitetail and for a guy that doesn't get to hunt mule deer in his home state.
