My third deer season (got kind of a late start at hunting) and I got a small 3x2 on the morning I was heading home. We hunted three days around Jack Creek in the Methow and saw more hunters than deer opening weekend. I was supposed to head home Monday afternoon but I stayed too late eating pizza and having a pitcher with some friends. A call to some friends in Winthrop produced not only a place to crash for the night, but also a offer to hunt their land that borders state land. After watching a 3x2 browse around the neighboring private land for a couple of hours it finally wandered onto the state land and bedded down. After the 3 previous days of hiking 5-10 miles each day Tuesdays successful hunt almost seemed like cheating. I was nice to get that first one though!
