Saw a 6 bucks total. was only there from about 11am until dark. Bucks are chasing does like crazy. We even herd them grunting while in pursuit of the does. Only got a few pics of the closer bucks. Saw one huge 4x4 in the swakane unit. I wish I had the rifle tag I would have had a biggen!!

Drew the archery Entiat tag a few years ago. Shot the smallest buck I saw over there. While scouting the last few days of the rifle permit, I saw the biggest living mule deer buck I have ever seen. Got him on video. Never saw him again. Could have shot him with a beer in my hand. Saw alot of nice bucks during the last part of the rifle days and the rut slowed down. Met a guy that his wife drew the tag with one point. The system is rigged!

I didnt see any monsters but one really nice 4x4. Didn't really see to many deer but it was really foggy. I ended up trying to stay below the fog line. I talked to one guy that had a Chiwawa permit for rifle and he saw 16 bucks today but he was holding out for a big one.

The buck and doe in the first pics came from way up on the hill. That doe didnt want anything to do with the 3x4. The doe ended up crossing the road in the the field on the other side. the buck chased her for ever then ended up chasing her across the river to the chiwawa unit.

I also ended up finding a dead 2x2. saw some crows flying around so me and my son went up the hill to take a look. It looks like it had been there since rifle season. all eaten up by the birds and coyotes.

Great pics huntergreg. Looks like someone has a good hunting shack built by that 3 by 4. Can't wait to get over there and get after it. Good luck to everyone!

Pretty sure that these pictures aren't going to affect the already large numbers of hunters in the Swakane. At least not by a large enough margin to matter. The place isn't a well kept secret. REALLY steep, lots of guys, roads will scare the living crap out of you when they are icy...all pretty well known.
Anyway, thanks for sharing the pictures!
