From high on my pedestal
« on: October 20, 2022, 10:37:03 AM »
Sorry, working from my iPad on the run.   Not the best image, but from a sea of orange last weekend emerges a decent buck.   I thought he was 180ish, but probably closer to 170ish.   Seemed bigger in person. 
Good luck this weekend everyone!

Gorgeous buck, I think you should do a calendar of just this. All public land WA bucks, all during season that could be harvested with a general tag  :chuckle:

That’s how it all started out.   As it stands now, this year will be 85 percent Washington.

I remember the "Quest for 500" thread.  Was probably 2009??

What's your quest for now?  100?  Not being a smartass or a prick, honestly curious what you are seeing.

I think I hit 375 last year.   I lost 2 weeks of vacation, but did utilize the time I did have off more.    I travelled as far south as the Arizona line and as far north as the Canadian line.   It’s a lot tougher than it used to be.  In most states honestly.   I found as good bucks in Washington as I did in the Henry’s.   I know Washington.  I don’t know the Henry’s.

General unit WOW!  :yike: Thats a better buck than most of the special draw tagholders typically end up with on any given year. 
Hard to tell from the image and brushy background, does he have cheaters and junk going on?
