Cougeyes:

I'm not necessarily holding out for a trophy buck but spending as much time as I can with buddies (old and new) and enjoying the moment.  Not many people can say they have hunted the Desert Unit let alone on five different occasions in the same season or head into the Entiat (last weekend) and not see any other hunters.  In this case we didn't see another person.......It's been a crazy ride that I hopefully can put into words when it all ends. 

I have had the chance to talk to a lot of people who know more about Mule Deer than I could ever imagine.  ALL OF THEM have told me my hunting season really doesn't start until Dec. 1st......Trust me, it's enough to drive a guy nuts but I'm definitely seeing more bucks now than I did in Sept-Nov. 

Would you have really notched the tag in Sept?  or before the rut?

To answer your question:

I haven't seen a buck larger than 185' and if I did I probably would have pulled the trigger.  However, I would rather harvest a 160-170' buck on the last day than to have shot a 175-180' buck up until this point.  However, from here on out it's going to get a little harder pass on those...... :bash:

Losing too much sleep!

Yeah i'm jealous of you right now.  No, i dont think i would have notched my tag in sept-nov either, but seeing the bucks that are posted on this thread..there is one in particular i dont think I personally could pass up, but that's just me and that's why i said i would probably have notched my tag.  If you have the time stick it out to the end it'll pay off.  We all live through you right now, good luck!

What about the buck that dropped those huge sheds in the orchard up there? Have you guys heard anything about him this year?
The one I am talking about I thinks someone bought them off of an orchard worker for a pack of smokes? I think thats the one anyways.

I don't know if I would burn the tag on this one.   :chuckle:

What if I passed on him?   ;) 

Cougeyes, I'm just kidding! 

Let's hope the weather cooperates and we can see a little bit this weekend.  I just had the conversation with my wife last night that went something like this:

"Honey, if I don't see anything this weekend I might not be home until Xmas eve." 

When she didn't respond I knew I was in deep sh*t......at least she didn't say "no"   :rockin:

I'm not married, but could probably justify a divorce if my wife tried to tell me no when I had that tag in my pocket :chuckle:
