Three hunters, five mulies
« on: November 08, 2009, 04:12:04 PM »
We're feeling pretty good about the season, despite taking no monster bucks.

My teenage son made a great stalk and shot a doe yesterday:



I took a small buck and a doe. Proud of the stalk on the young Washington buck, closed from a half mile to 175 yards for the shot:


Taking the 390 - 400 yard shot in Wyoming:



My hunting buddy packing out one of his two bucks:


All do-it-yourself hunts on public land in Washington and Wyoming. Lots of good time afield with my son and with a good friend. Many miles of off-trail hiking, lots of rough country covered, lots of time glassing. Boned out/packed out two deer. Quartered one and packed it out. The other two were simpler, a drag to the truck. Thoroughly enjoyed our time afield and hunting together!




Regards, Guy

The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Right on Guy.  8)

Looks like a full freezer to me and not one animal to be ashamed of.

Carpsniper - sorry for the confusion. Shot the buck here in Washington in the general season. Went to Wyoming with high hopes, but ended up taking a doe there.

My buddy took a buck here, and a buck in Wyoming.

My son took a doe here.

Cleared it up?  :)
