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    

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

[deerslyr]

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

will the gates be open at vail sunday? what time? will be my first time there....what should i expect?
thanks cs

[bucklucky]

I dont think the gates are open for late archery in Vail??

[deerslyr]

they arent. I know of a few people who have been kicked out during late archery

[blackveltbowhunter]

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.

[chad s.]

are you allowed to walk in or ride a pedal bike in?

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.

my dad shot a small 2pt and I got a doe with my 2ND deer permit

[PolarBear]

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.   

[poohdog]

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