That buck only has a couple days left to live if he does not find a better place to sleep. Head to the hills if you want to live.

That second buck looks a little heavier then the first one. I like the dark antlers. Were both bucks in the first picture you posted?

I shot my first buck with that angle. Marlin 30-30, broke his back at the base of his neck. Worked out pretty well, I'd do it again, and yes, I'd shoot that buck this weekend, given the chance.

I wouldn't pass that buck up in WA with a general tag on public land...

Maybe if I had private land access or a drawing tag I'd leave it alone, but that's about it.

He had a broken main beam Empyre so his front fork on that one side was gone.

Funny you should say that.  I'm looking at all these posts and I have that same excitement - even though I'm not going.  I hope that everyone does well, anyway.
