Title says Quilomene Quality Deer, and there were lots of good posts.

I'd love to draw that tag. 

I love that country.

I drew that tag, I think it was 23 years ago.  After I drew I came down with a severe eye disease, too blind to drive but had a lumpy contoured eyeball that gave me better vision spots here and there.  If I turned my head to and fro and up and down I could usually find a spot of fairly good vision.  I was so messed up I hadn’t planned to hunt but my son talked me into going.  He drove and did almost everything and I would hang on to his coattail if we needed to walk much. 

We had scouted a LOT, saw LOTS of bucks and never saw a really big buck, though a couple of pretty racks, one a 6x6 maybe 23 inches wide. We saw none that looked as big as Dagon's dandy buck.

 I passed ten bucks before shooting one on the second weekend, and I was almost blind.  There were a lot of deer.  The best we saw during my handicapped season was a bit bigger than average 3x3 on opening morning.  We thought that the bigger bucks were off of the top rim down in steep stuff where I simply could not manage the terrain.  Another permit hunter we talked with had a nice wide buck, maybe 28 inches or a bit more, but short 2x3 (or 2x4?) tines.

Our friends were sure my son had shot a buck for me but I did the deed, at 208 yards no less.  With lots of time and a leaner on a tree… I missed the first shot.  The buck raised his head, stepped more into the open and turned broadside, looking around.  Dropped him with the second shot.  My son said, “That was real sporting of you to give him a warning shot!”

Five surgeries and nearly two years into the disease I got to drive again and got back to 20-20 with glasses.  Once I was blind, but now…  gives me goose bumps to recall it all.  I am fortunate.

Remember...True spike was only going to be for a few years to increase escapement....

The best thing WDFW ever did for the mule deer here is to make the 3pt or better rule.

Interesting thread...really

So every time I make the trip on I90 passed the Quilomene, I get disgusted seeing all the wind turbines in the beautiful country. I am curious how those turbines have effected the Mule Deer and elk in the area?

Man, I hate those things too. Watch the sun set from my house, and see all the blinking red lights on those dog gone things is disheartening...

Man me too I hate those dang things that pay my salary and provide  enough energy for 100 houses when they're running. Such a pain to fix and climb.

When I was hunting and hanging out in that area throughout the years, I saw quality deer in the same spots like it was clockwork. Those spots were in draw tag areas.

I’d be excited if I drew it.
