Theres one buck that surely survived because I saw him on the last day of the last season in the unit. He lives in a small area where he cant really range far and the winter should be mild. He was without a doubt the mature whitetail buck in the area and he barely survived our encounter due to brush in the way and noisy does he was following around busted me.

I've got a wide 'garden rake' WT I've seen on camera a few times.  Not really sure how good he is.  Most tines are broke when I get a picture.

Thats good to know there are some survivors up there.  I've been reluctant to make the drive up.

I got a few cams that are most likely snowed in.
Nobody knows till spring on those.

These 3 all made it through the hunting seasons, the tough part will be the winter and predators.

That's WDFW deal. You could always send an email to the commission. Lol ... 😂.
All joking aside ,"trophy" could be a dink buck to some folks .
It is disappointing sometimes.Thats what I love about hunting.
Roll the dice,might be a biggin around the corner.
I'm always glad to see a few made it through the gauntlet of hunting season.
