Headed down to Puyallup to work for the day and saw a Whopper of a blacktail a couple of hundred yards North of the Stimson Rd. overpass on the west side of I-5. He was feeding in the underbrush. When he lifted his head I about went off the road. He was a real toad. Wide, Heavy and Tall. Maybe some of you locals cen keep an eye out for him!!!

I think Ive seen the one your talking about but Ive seen him at a different location miles away and am hoping to meet up with him on opening day with my bow

So you must be talking about the west side of the freeway. Thats not rez land if its north of 140th. I havent seen that guy yet. If I see him I'll get a pic.

Strutnrut1984 saw him the other day on his way to work and called me, said he was an absolute HOG!!

He was definately on the west side of I-5. I always wondered how far north the rez. land went. Didn't think it went that far.

Very cool! I guess I'll know what happened if I hear about someone running off the road in Arlington on I-5

Ever since old Mortons Tree farm turned into the strip mall eye sore over there (were Red Robin, etc are in smokey joint), no wonder the deer are out in the open, looking for a place to live.

If your headed north on I-5, between the Stilly river bridge and exit 210, there have been some nice deer feeding along there.

strutnrut1984 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2009, 03:32:58 PM »

JackOfAllTrades · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2009, 03:39:30 PM »

What? No photos? Ain't no proof until I see photos.

Ya'll are day dreamin down the freeway. No wonder there's so many wrecks!

Get your heads out of the hills, quit dreaming about the bucks you can't shoot, keep your eyes on the road and put that bloody cell phone down!

I was coming down Hwy 9 this morning into Arlington. Just as I crossed the bridge over the Stilly, I looked to the right down in that field that has the flat roof house in it, and there is what looks like is going to be a nice 4pt standing out there feeding.

strutnrut1984 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 15, 2009, 09:45:17 AM »

could be the same 4point . not far across here from the freeway

NW-GSP · « **Reply #18 on:** July 15, 2009, 10:40:37 AM »

I have not seen him for a week now, might be hiding

MAGhunter · « **Reply #19 on:** July 15, 2009, 12:20:41 PM »

Someone this morning plowed into a deer right around that area. My wife seen it and said there was blood all over the road with the deer laying on the side along with the F'd up truck that hit it. Hope it wasn't him

JackOfAllTrades · « **Reply #20 on:** July 15, 2009, 12:34:17 PM »

Ah man. Doe or Buck, I hate to see or hear bout that!

Damn!

NW-GSP · « **Reply #21 on:** July 15, 2009, 01:26:18 PM »

Ive seen a few does in the field just south of suburban propane just last weekend, so Im hoping it wasnt the buck that died

MAGhunter · « **Reply #22 on:** July 15, 2009, 06:14:52 PM »

She didn't see any horns but she was flyin by too. It was right before the 116th exit

strutnrut1984 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 15, 2009, 09:56:56 PM »

jeepasaurusrex · « **Reply #24 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:46:49 AM »

Same time, same place, but just north. Looked to be a smaller buck, maybe 2-3pt. He was in the middle of the river headed north. Sun was shining on him, picture perfect moment.... camera sitting at home.

big ed · « **Reply #25 on:** July 19, 2009, 08:05:15 PM »

Yea I know the one you are talking about he lives in the trees below my place .the old guy that own the property told us no way. So I figure if he travels out he is fair game.there our at least 4 bucks in this area with 3 point. Couple that are big.Just waiting for sharp stick season.

jeepasaurusrex · « **Reply #26 on:** August 12, 2009, 06:49:39 AM »

Well, that 2-3 point is no more. Got hit by a car last night about a 1/2 mile north of the bridge on the east side of Hwy 9.

JackOfAllTrades · « **Reply #27 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:44:16 AM »

That SUX!

jeepasaurusrex · « **Reply #28 on:** August 13, 2009, 09:20:29 AM »

Just driving around last evening, I saw a total of 8 deer. That's more then I seen all of last year.

Buckmark · « **Reply #29 on:** August 13, 2009, 09:26:42 AM »

There are no deer up here, this whole thread is made up, just lawn ornaments and animatronic deer bought online... Only deer on the west side are in the vail tree farm, everyone should go there.. Move along people nothing to see here..
