2010 Whidbey Christmas Buck

[patton1]

Not much to tell.  He's the one I've been after and tonight he decided to make a mistake right at last light. Arrow went right through the heart and a lung. Ran about 20 yards and down he went. Meat in the freezer.  The wife wasn't overly happy that I went hunting but I guess it was worth it. I had some camera malfunctions so this is all I have for now. I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow.  He's not as big as last years but he's a nice island 3x4.  Thank you Santa!!!!

That is a nice BT! and an even better island deer! Congratulations and merry Christmas!

Here's some more pics of him hanging.  Wish I could have gotten some out in the woods but these will have to do.

Awesome deer, though Whidbey's not a "real" island.....     Awesome to get the ONE you have been after.

I took the cape to the local taxidermist.  He needed one for a buck that a special needs kid shot. We found bird shot in his face.  REALLY? 

[NWWABOWHNTR]

bird shot?  That sucks,  some people are idiots, might have been a peson chasing it out of their garden.  Nice buck though!

[Stickerbush]

congrats man

Nice deer!  So why is Whidbey not a real Island? 

It's essentially attached at both ends and is about 35 miles long (168 sq. miles)....  A bit of an inside joke with Weathergirl as a friend of hers' husband was saying how horrible it was to grow up on an island when we were looking at moving here (3 1/2 sq. miles) with the kids.

Doesn't take anything away from a really nice deer though, especially this late season as the bucks seem to all be hiding.

If you can drive over a bridge to get there it isn't "Really" an island...  Nicke buck BTW
