[jeepguy]

if you look close you can see the smoke from the burn forest service claims the deer like to roll in the ash and lick it  anyway he was in that area kinda funny anyone see or hear that about ash and deer?

Gotta love a good huntin story!
Definitely a stud buck! The mass on that guy is incredible

 



  Very nice buck. The funny thing about this is I never believe anybody (unless I was there, and sometimes not even that) when they tell me where and how.

I live next door to Casey and I have the "story" on this monster.  This was relayed to me in almost real time via txt messages while it was occuring.  I've filled in some of the gaps with what I believe happened...

This all happened on Saturday, opening morning...
6:45am: Casey's wife gently wakes him up with a hot cup of coffee and informs him shooting time starts in 10mins.
7:00am: Casey grabs his nephew (Clovus?), throws him on the quad and rides 300 yards up the ridge from their camp.
7:15am: While Casey is trying to get his loungehunter chair assembled Clovus spots movement in the woods about 200 yards away.
7:16am: Casey decides to put out the fire they built to roast marshmellows and investigates the "movement".
7:17am: Clovus realizes he left his Nintendo DS in camp and radios down for someone to bring it up.
7:19am: Casey sets up his shooting bench and locks his rifle (M70 300 wsm) in the sled, just in case...
7:21am: A pack of wolves come busting out of the woodline with what appears to be a large moose bearing down on them.
7:21:13am: About halfway down the ridge the moose sees Clovus frantically trying to wake up Casey and charges their position.
7:21:14am: Casey wakes up, realizes the sled is pointed in the wrong direction and starts trying to get his rifle out of the sled.
7:21:15am: He decides to just throw the entire sled on Clovus's back and point Clovus at the moose instead.
7:22:17am: Casey shoots over the mooses head in an attempt to divert the animal away.  At this point he still doesn't know it's legal.
7:23:11am: Clovus convinces him it's legal and he takes a hail mary shot at 789 yards as the animal is halfway to Cle Elum at this point.
7:23:12:30am: Bullet makes impact and down it goes... 
7:33am: My wife comes out to the garage (while I am packing for a trip to Entiat) with a txt message from Casey showing what appears to be a muley/moose hybrid.  My wife asks why Casey is able to shoot a buck within an hour of the season opening and why it's been 5 years since I've shot anything. 
7:37am: I go and pee on Casey's front porch to help alleviate some of my frustration.

Sounds legit other than his nephew is "Cletus" not "Clovus" LOl

why did it take 12 hrs  to get back to camp? 8:00 am till 8:00 pm cut it in  1/2 ? the  deer was down in the burn should have been able to wheel the quad right to it gut it sew it up and drag it back  behind the quad  be at the trailer at 8 :45 am  hunt'n dont get any easier than that  .

[tbrady]

I think he left his camera in Carnation and ran home to get it before cutting on it.  And then he made Clovus skin the thing using his swiss army knife.  It takes forever to cut through bones with those things.
