Got it done this evening! It’s been a lengthy drought, but that just makes this all the sweeter!

 Congrats to everyone, especially those who are getting the kids out!

 A little late posting, 1st legal buck I came across that would hold still early in the archery season. I love the late season but am not sure I was going to be able to pull the time off, so just happy to fill the tag.

First year using Grim Reapers and was super impressed!

I got my deer (1st in velvet!) on the second day of ML season, stalked into 35 yards.  My girls drew doe permits so my older daughter made a perfect 100 yard shot on hers opening day and it left a massive blood trail for 30 yards.  On Monday my younger daughter stuck it out in the wind and rain with her mom and I to shoot her doe in a different area at 158 yards, her first.  Then yesterday morning I went out with my wife to a new area.  I was not confident we'd see anything, but after only 30 min in the morning we went over a hill to check a little pocket and found her buck with a doe and spike.  They spooked but she got him down!  Happy that the freezer will be full for a little while!

I am always eager to hear the stories from archery hunts in WA - was this from a tree stand? Still hunt? Spot and stalk?

Kinda funny story, It was spot and stalk in open timber.... he busted me putting the moves on him at 116yds but he kept looking back over his shoulder so I froze and was hoping his dad was hanging around  :chuckle:
Well, a big ole black moo cow came out of the brush and the buck all of the sudden was way more interested in that than he was with me. I hustled up to 55yds, still very much undecided if I wanted to take him or not, then he moved into the sun, perfectly broadside... I decided to just take a look through the sights, still not 100% sure I wanted to be done, well next thing I know the arrow was on it's way... he went about 200yds, pretty easy track.

This buck showed up at 6:10 and was giving a scotch broom bush everything he had.

That is a gorgeous rifle! Great furniture on that!
