Great buck.  How wide?

Not sure I did not measure, I can let you know in about year when I get him back from the taxidermist  :chuckle:

On the first day it is tough to pass a buck like that.  People do it but you have to be willing to eat the tag if you do.  Good job and congratulations on a dandy buck.

Thank you, I sat on him for an hour waiting for him to stand up after watching him bed down. Gave me time to really think about whether to pass or shoot and really check him out, but could not let him go. There was a 3x3 in the same area, but quite a bit smaller than this guy.

Good job Ryan

I'd have shot him day 1!  Nice mature buck, and that short back tine on the back fork (G2) is so characteristic of east Cascades mule deer.  Congratulations!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Thank you, yeah I was making some noise cause I did not want a Deer to jump up in front of me and those darn things just about gave me a heart attack. I could only see about 80 or so feet in front of me with my headlamp and knew if a Deer was there it would stand way before I got to it.
