great buck and narrative.  Thanks for taking us all along on the journey.  Those custom setups are pretty sirens.... next thing you know you're talking to Karl Blanchard for an hour arguing the benefits of this or that.... but Karl's worth it.

Congrats again.  Always nice to see good guys find success.

Great thread.  Thanks for sharing!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

So I know Vernon struggled not shooting this deer. Dude has willpower.

We could have been to the deer in 30 minutes but we sat above Vern and his son for an extra hour just to see how strong his will was pass this deer. :chuckle: Not really but it would have been fun to do.

Vern and his son were great guys. Another internet buddy for life. I was the first person to kill a deer with his new gun. I really hope he gets to kill one today with it.

If he doesn’t tag out I’ll let him share time with the mount. Joint visitation or something.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Here is a photo with Vern finally getting his hands on this deer.

I agree on the score.

Jackelope has the best signature line about it not being about inches of antler but about time spent with family and friends.

I had set the number of 160 to have a bar. The way it went down and having so many good people involved added more to the experience than any number of inches could have improved it.

Just over 300 I think.

It was so easy with that gun.

I totally need to get one.

Happy for you Rick! It was a pleasure reading this and I enjoyed it! Glad we crossed paths weeks before the hunt started. Thanks for keeping in touch and the great communication while I was up there. Glad we both got and found what we were looking for. Hope Vern finds his 180” giant! Take care bud and keep in touch!

I just can’t express my gratitude enough for the amazing people on this site that followed this thread, that helped with private messages, offered optics if needed, came over just to check areas that I just couldn’t get to in one day. The amount of support adds more to this hunt and experience than any amount of inches of antler every could have. I will always look at this buck and think back to how awesome this experience was.

Got the deer all butchered, cut, ground, wrapped and in the freezer.

Heading out for late archery deer camp in the morning.

Hoping to connect on a mature buck.

Good luck to all of the late archery guys with Entiat permits.
