Came across this in 2006 while hunting the late archery permit season

Either a tree fell on him or you cut him in half and shoved in there?

shouldnt have put his treestand on that rotten tree

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #4 on:** April 11, 2008, 02:39:24 PM »

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around, does it make a sound? Does the deer it falls on make a sound?

On another note, why was a deer laying around on it's back in a wind storm? Something is fishy..

She was probably looking for a place to hide from you so she crawled under there knowing that is the part you were intrested in anyhow!!

Gobble · « **Reply #9 on:** April 11, 2008, 03:43:03 PM »

A bear or Cougar stuffed it under some branches

rougheye · « **Reply #10 on:** April 11, 2008, 04:15:35 PM »

LOL,Actually I had shot a buck and we cut him in half,dragged up the front half and then i went down for the second half,When i got to the top i dropped those hind legs and they slid almost all the way back down the hill.We thought it was funny where he landed,Just thought you guys might get a kick out of that.

WildBear · « **Reply #11 on:** April 11, 2008, 04:52:11 PM »

Yee Haw!!

You didn't ride it down the hill?...

Good Fun!

rougheye · « **Reply #12 on:** April 11, 2008, 05:54:16 PM »

Here is a pic of his other half,I was pretty proud of this one,hes not the biggest but me and rosscrazyelk worked that prick over for 5 days straight and I finally got an oportunity at him.

Red Dawg · « **Reply #13 on:** April 11, 2008, 05:58:22 PM »

holy steep. no wonder he slid down into a log like that. you must be in the entiat or something close to that.

rougheye · « **Reply #14 on:** April 11, 2008, 06:04:28 PM »

Yep Entiat,love that country,

Red Dawg · « **Reply #15 on:** April 11, 2008, 06:08:50 PM »

It is great country, i have only hunted it once in the general season and had never been in there before. I was impressed with the country though and we did not see a whole lot of other hunters, but we did not see a whole lot of deer either. My buddies did not like it so i am guessing that i will probably never hunt it again. Great thread, it was funny to see some of the ideas that may have happened.

rougheye · « **Reply #16 on:** April 11, 2008, 06:57:41 PM »

Its a great unit but not a trophy unit anymore

rougheye · « **Reply #17 on:** April 11, 2008, 07:02:52 PM »

here is one that rosscrazyelk passed up

Gobble · « **Reply #18 on:** April 12, 2008, 09:41:22 AM »

Nice Buck! What weapon were you hunting with? Was this a special permit hunt? With snow on the ground it would be too late for a general season.

rougheye · « **Reply #19 on:** April 12, 2008, 10:14:54 AM »

Late archery

coastalghost · « **Reply #20 on:** April 12, 2008, 10:16:30 AM »

rougheye · « **Reply #23 on:** April 12, 2008, 11:46:29 AM »

Yea,I would have a hard time passin that one up

DOUBLELUNG · « **Reply #24 on:** April 12, 2008, 12:13:18 PM »

Yep, the Entiat's been ruined. Don't waste your points - please! Nothing but young bucks, little bucks and does, and when you draw there are a TON of other hunters. Save your points - please! It's not worth the gas money. Game Department ruined it - honest. If I didn't live right by there, I wouldn't bother, it's ok for the local yokels, but not worth a drive. Trust me, would I lie?

coastalghost · « **Reply #25 on:** April 12, 2008, 12:43:30 PM »

Ok...Ok! The past years fires coupled with harsh winters has really driven herd numbers to record lows. Dry summers have stunted antler growth for over a 20 year span which has changed the genetic "potential" of the mature mule deer bucks. This now once famous big buck mecca produces bucks now that have crabby fronts and backs that branch high....your lucky to see 150" bucks any more.

I dont understand why so many people put in for this unit.

PacificNWhunter · « **Reply #26 on:** April 12, 2008, 05:37:52 PM »

Great post! I was sitting here trying to play a logic explination out in my head, should have known you were setting us up...Cool story and a great buck.

rosscrazyelk · « **Reply #27 on:** April 13, 2008, 07:37:46 PM »

It was not easy to pass him up. But with some of the other bucks we were seeing you would know why.

coastalghost · « **Reply #28 on:** April 13, 2008, 08:08:02 PM »

Certainly tough with not much cover around.

alecvg · « **Reply #29 on:** April 13, 2008, 08:39:36 PM »

wow, thats buetifull country! Thats a great pic. thanks for posting

alecvg · « **Reply #30 on:** April 13, 2008, 08:42:07 PM »

so any archery hunter can hunt that write? Sorry im not a huge archery hunter, just getting into it, do you see many bucks there during that season?

rosscrazyelk · « **Reply #31 on:** April 14, 2008, 06:53:31 AM »

You have to get drawn. It is Special permit only in the late season. And it is right not write
