Alright here's the some pics to add to buckmaster_wa's post. The first pick is the "monster" whitetail that buckmaster_wa was making fun of me for in the first post. Another buddy (Ryan) and I walked into some property that I shot my buck on last season on opening day and came out of there two hours later with our bucks. We walked up a ridge and looked down in the first finger and spotted the larger whitetail in the bottom pic and Ryan dumped him about 5 minutes into shooting hours. While Ryan was gutting his deer I decided to walk over to the next draw and see what was in there. I glassed the draw and saw nothing, so I decided to turn back and help Ryan with his buck. As soon as I turned around I heard a ruckus in the tumbleweeds at the bottom of the draw, so I turned around. Lone behold here was a whitetail buck hauling ass out of there about 115 yards away. I confirmed that the deer was legal and decided that I would go for a neck shot as I new it was a small buck and was willing to take the chance of missing. I took a free-handed shot and down went the buck and that was the end of Ryan and my 2009 Washington deer season. It lasted a whole 20 minutes. This is the second year in a row that I have tagged my buck in the same area within 20 minutes of opening light. Hopefully I can get rid of my itchy trigger finger so I can hunt a little longer this season.

Well I couldnt get my scanner to work so I just took pictures of pictures. Not the best quality but they will work. The first picture is of Ryans buck. It was his first time hunting out of state and he made the mistake of shooting the first decent buck he saw. I was happy he did though because we ate backstrap at our spike camp the whole time we were there.
The next picture is of our spike camp.

The next picture is of my buck as he lay. The only thing that kept him from rolling all the way down the mountian was his antlers. Followed by me holding the buck and me packing him out of the hell hole.

I owe a big thanks to one of the members on this site. He pointed me in the right direction and I cant thank him enough for it. I passed up a really big 3x4 on the second day of the hunt but I was still happy with what I got. We seen about 5-10 bucks a day with 2-3 of them being nice bucks. On day 5 of a 6 day hunt the big Three stepped out at 350 yards. I checked him out with the spotter for about 5 minutes and finally decided I wanted to take him. I have always liked big three points with back forks and now I got one on my wall.

Then when Ryan and I were heading down the trail to base with our spike camp on our backs, I spotted a little four point bedded down in a little draw. I met a woman at base camp the day before and she told me she was after her first buck. I dropped my pack in the trail and boogied the rest of the way down to the base camp. Luckily the lady was at her tent and I got her and hurried back up the trail. When we got the the draw the buck was still bedded. We got within 75 yards of the buck and the lady got her first buck. Heres some pics.

What a great year you folks had! Sounds like your skinning knives stayed very busy! Good to see Gal's getting out and getting deer too! That was nice to help a person you just met get her first deer. Bet she was excited.

Oh yeah she was excited. She actually missed the first shot at the buck at 75 yards. Then the buck stood up and looked around and she dropped him.

Aaron's buck last day of the season 380 yards. 300 yard belly crawl through an open winter wheat Field. Luckily he had a steel bench rest to shoot off of, a.k.a my butt cheak. He was really wishing we hadn't dropped our packs!
One shot dropped him in his tracks.
