Westside quality Buck Hunt

70 yards is a bit further than I would prefer to shoot but if you practice to that distance its ones choice.

Yeah, have no problem with it. It’s the word “about” that is not comforting.. great way to wound an animal. 70 and 74 yards is a large window at that distance.

Nothing wrong with a 70 yard shot with modern archery tackle, practice and consistency.

Ya no one misses with a rifle or muzzleloader.

My mistake was I didn’t range find the deer before I shot. I max out at 70 yards with my sight. I practice a 60-68 yard shot all the time and am very accurate. Enough poundage and practice makes that shot work.
There’s a guy I see all the time who shoots past 80 all the time. He practices that shot a lot.

I'll be curious to see how this years crop of Quality BT tags go. There's plenty of nice bucks around, and the blue bird weather at the end of the general season helped a few more make it through I would bet. I've noticed a trend though the last few years in that when these big bucks hit peak rut during the permit time frame they tend to lock down on does. If they're not moving, they're awful hard to find. It's not until close to the end of the permit time frame that they start cruising again looking for un-bred does. Thats why the late buck season can be so good.

Good luck to all tag holders, I hope everyone kills a wall hanger.

I know some of those late permits are just 4 days or so.

10 buck tags in the green river watershed.  Not 1 deer killed yet...

[Bullkllr]

Last couple days have been pretty slow where we've been in 667.
A few deer at first and last light; nothing in between. Another spike; rest does.

Interesting,

Just because it's a Quality Tag, no one has posted a pic or mentioned getting a mature blacktail yet. Just because you put in and get drawn doesn't mean you stand a more than 10% to get lucky to get a real buck.

Scouting
More scouting
More & More Scouting....Then....
Find (1) decent buck....Maybe....Just Maybe (2)....
Get lucky, find him....
Then actually get a shot !

[Skyvalhunter]

[JakeLand]

Things are starting to pick up in 505. I took a 2 day break from hunting and got back after it today. seen a total of 9 deer 4 where bucks and passed on 3 of them . The 4th one was so far out I couldn't have sealed the deal even if I wanted to. One of the bucks I passed on was a mature buck the had some freaky unicorn stuff going on . I didnt get the best look at his left side cause I was focusing on decided if I was ready to be done hunting or not. But ended up letting him walk although I probably should have done the area a favor and culled him before he has his way with any doe's . This bucks right antler was close to 16"spike with 6" base and a small fork up top. There wasnt much of anything on his left that I could see through the scope. I did happen to pack in a trail cam with me this morning and decided to set it up hopefully I can get a pic of the unicorn buck.
