saw 2 does today on some private property, seemed to tame to shoot, came within about 5 yards.  There is suppose to be a couple of bucks runniing around but I haven't seen them yet.  I missed a BIG 3 point a couple of weeks ago on another piece of private property, hit a branch.  Hope that wasn't my only chance for the year.  Any body willing to share a place in skookumchuck/vail area where you can drive in.  My dad tore his meniscus so he can't do too much walking but I would sure love to get him out one more time this year.  He would be more than happy with a doe.  Thanks for any help.  Merry Christmas everyone, please pray for the officers shot in Eatonville, friend of a friend

. I dropped off the pack and took 2 arrows with me to begin my stalk. I got with in 55 yards and missed all 3 times   :yike: 

I enjoyed the story, do not get me wrong, I am just wondering did you shoot and then sneak up there and retrieve an arrow?

Congrats on your first archery harvest, it is addicting so get ready

My quiver isnt connected to my bow so I leave it in the pack, before i started the stalk I took 2 arrows with me and I had one in my bow and missed with those 3 arrows and had to go back to my pack for more   ;)

Glad to hear they got kicked out. The vail gates haven't been open all season! Even if they are open during the week, it's still closed to motorized public access.

How am I doing?  NOT GOOD!  I think I wore out my quota in the entiat for how many deer I will see this year, because I can't find an animal for the life of me.  All day today in the timber and seen absoulutly nothing, I don't think I even seen a bird. Back at it tomorrow.

Had 5 deer in the yard yesterday morning. One was a spike with a messed up leg.  I don't shoot spikes or my pet deer but  I have watched him for a month and he is getting worse.  It might be time to take him out or let the coyotes get him.  Tough decision.   :dunno:

Take the spike out so he isn't in any more pain.  Better you eat him then the yotes.  Would be good eaten.
