my buck from this season Unit 371

those few words can't describe what i saw at first through the spotting scope to what i saw through my rifles scope to seeing him piled up in some sage.  undescribeable..... i feel very fortunate thats for sure.  all the hard scouting trips on the body and our vehicles especially paid off nicely.  I'd been telling my hunting partner Roy all through scouting and previous weeks before the hunt i wanted to shot a heavy horned buck.  didn't need to be wide just heavy, looks like my luck was finally good for a change.

Very nice buck.  Nice palmation extending to the forks from the non-typically decorated bases.  It would be a pleasure to have his age determined, then let the rest of us know?  The Firing Center has some wicked deer hidden in it's bomb craters.  50 BMG is the preferred fashion in that area,  I'm at a loss as to why you dropped 1500 feet to get within range?  Congratulations and I'm glad you put in for that tag.  The best buck I've ever seen was in the 90's skylined in the bunch grass on Umtanium Ridge just past the rest stop on the right heading to Ellensburg.  He was a true to life "RockingChair", a real 250 plus net.  Again, good choice of area, great stalk, and perfect projectile placement.  Great hunt and hunter!

Beautiful buck!  I'm jealous because I spent a week hunting that area two years ago, but had to deal with the fog.  Finally got a 3x3 on the last day.  My bucks antlers had some similiar stuff going on down by the bases and eyeguards.  Wish his rack was as tall and as massive, though.  Would like to draw this tag again, I liked hunting on the Yakima Range.

Nice score Klick....was he at the Yakima Sportsman show.  I thought I saw him there, was looking for him and found one very similiar anyway.

He was scored highest in the biggest buck competition at Hammer's Outdoors.  Won a FREE HEAD MOUNT. pretty neat I thought

[Red Dawg]

what did old man hartshorn's buck score. i thought it would be about 200" or so i heard. He shot it in the firing center and i know he took it to hammers.

Nice Buck!!!!!!  I hunted that unit in 06 had a great time.  Weather is kind of a pain in the A__  but thats life.   Not sure what my buck would score but I am sure not as much as yours.  Thats a nice washington deer.

That other big firing center buck was nice, scored 16?something and some change
