West klickitat blacktail
« on: October 19, 2009, 03:10:50 PM »
I hunted grayback sat and sun morning. Only kicked up a few does and 1 fawn. My buddy and I opted to check out a spot in the west klick. We got up to the area around 4 pm and we hiked a ridge. after 30 mins of still hunting, I caught movement to my right. All I saw was the rump of a blackie bailing out of his bed at 30 yrds. I quickly followed him over the ridge and looked for him but only saw his tracks through the thinned timber. I followed the pronounced tracks for 200 yrds and saw the enter a thick patch of timber. I soon hooked up with my partner and we began to push the timber. I was working the edge of the timber when I spotted the buck. I quickly verified It as legal with 3 or more. I ganced towards my partners 13 yr son to see if he had an opportunity at the buck. He did not have a shot and we did not want this buck to bolt so I dropped him. Approx 100-120 yrd shot with my rem 700 in .300wm. My friends are relocating thier camp now to west klick. Good luck to them!

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
