Nice job! I know the feeling is amazing. I was extremely lucky before Christmas and shot one with my muzzle loader. I didn't call it in. I was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. Still can't believe I got it. I'll post pics later if I can figure out how to upload them.

Again, Congrats!

Were you in Kapowsin Hancock when you shot it? I was talking to a security guard up there today and he told me someone got one with a muzzleloader this year. Sounded like they had just gotten out of their truck to start hunting and saw two together.

Yes, that was me. I originally thought it was a female with an older cub since there was two of them. When I took it in to get it sealed, the biologist told me it was a male, which explains why it was so big. He thinks it was a male with a female. I tried to upload a photo here, but it doesn't look like it worked. I'll see if I can get one of my buddies to help me get one up.

That's awesome. Way to help with the predator control up there. I'd like to see that picture! Did you get a deer with your muzzleloader?

Not with my muzzle loader, but I got a nice doe with my bow. I had my best year ever. I also got a chocolate bear during the spring bear hunt with my rifle.  I got the trifecta out of there this year using all 3 weapons. I doubt I can top it.
