Entiat Road Buck
« on: November 18, 2018, 08:31:54 AM »
I had never stepped foot in the unit until this season. With competing priorities I could only hunt weekends. I tried to maximize my time in the field by sleeping in my truck and being as mobile as possible. Scouted one weekend and hunted five days. Met ThrottleJockey and some other good guys on dirt roads. Drove most of the roads in the unit. Saw 100+ deer including a couple nice 3x3’s and a solid 3x4 which I passed because I had set a goal for myself to take a mature animal or a spike on the last day. The numbers of 1-2 year old bucks seemed very strong.

The hunt was perhaps not one you might dream of, but it was on for the books. A struggle with success in the  end.

This buck died the afternoon of the fifth day, fifty yards from the road where he was standing, tending a doe, when I turned the corner.

Glad my road buck came on a solo hunt.

Al

Nice Buck! I'm assuming this was a late season tag you got drawn for?
