Just got back from three days out and see you have posted this- Awesome!  Looks like you guys had a great time! 
Congrats on the great buck!   :tup: :tup:

Thanks, sir! We sure wished we had more time to play up there... those bucks were only in the first draw of several in this gorgeous basin... perhaps next year we'll be able to spend a little more time up there... as it is, I am VERY happy with my first wilderness buck!
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

Another great write up Hirshey.  Congrats, you definitely are setting the bar high.  We are gonna start expecting this every year.

It certainly is getting harder and harder to top the previous season... I can only hope I could be so fortunate to keep up the trend!

Very nice! Great buck, great story and a heck of a hunt! Well done! I will have my 14-year old daughter read this after school, she is a deer nut and would love to have a hunt like that! :tup:

I sure hope she gets the opportunity sometime! Good for you getting her started out on the right foot!

Hirshey,
 You could probably edit that a little and send it in to Eastman's Hunting Journal and win a great prize. They have tons of prizes for articles as payment and they aren't  cheap. That is a great article and story as it stands but I think you could win a new rifle or a number of other prizes with very little revision. Great job and don't give up your dreams. I can see and outdoor show in your future.

I agree, a woman's DIY backpack hunt in the wilderness, with a nice buck, and a great write up, that is rare and special.

Well thank you both... you definitely planted a seed! ...most of those bucks in Eastman's are pretty spectacular, though... I couldn't be more happy with my buck but I don't know if the editors would be equally as tickled.

Have spoke with them on numerous occasions, I know they would Hirshey, just be careful with the exposure to your new favorite spot. There is nothing not gorgeous about your hunt, including you, so the magazine would eat that up.

Awesome story Hirshey! I concure that you should sent it to any of the western big game mags. Just look at the cover of Cristensen arms mag with Heather Farrrar with her great bull! That is a great animal. Congrats again to you and all who helped you on your hunt!

Great Story!  I am new to WA and have been wondering about Pasayten, but will wonder no more.  Heading more east to Vulcan Mtn area in a few weeks for modern rifle.

Great buck and great story.  I'll have to show this to my wife who started hunting last season and is totally hooked now.
