B. G.   It's easy.  I'll send you an application to the "*censored*" club complete with instructions.  :chuckle:

Seriously, like I said earlier, I didn't want to end my two week hunt on the first day.  Actually it was an easy decision.  I was calm and collected the whole hour watching him.  My son, well that was a different story.  He could not believe what he was seeing.  He was witnessing in his mind his old man obviously losing it.  Will never forget the words he whispered to me while watching that buck.  "Kill that freaking deer...that's the biggest buck I've ever seen.....WTF, are you nuts". :bash:

After passing on the next two, both in the 150 class range, it was hard to get him to even carry on a conversation with me.  You see he didn't have a permit.  He was merely keeping me company and tagging along.  Oops..guess tagging isn't the best word...lol.

Several years later he did take a nice whitetail buck during the general season....scored mid 170's.  A bruiser with a lot of character.
You are lucky he didn't kill you in your sleep with a pillow... :chuckle:

Thanks....just spit coffee all over my computer screen....ROFLMAO.   :chuckle:

In washington, unless I have a special permit I am shooting the first legal animal I see.  Out of state tags are trophy hunts.
:tup: Same goes for me.

trophy hunt. i put to much time, energy, effort, blood, sweat,  money and vacation time and time away from my family to shoot anything that isn't mature. if it was just about meat, i could buy it or raise it for A LOT less.
you cant eat the horns, but backstraps look like crap on my wall!!!!

Amazing how PC "harvest" type words have showed up in the hunting world.  Thanks for keeping it honest Tony!!

I am always amazed at how many people don't understand this... you and I share the same point of view. I LOVE venison, but beef is and always will be tastier

I passed several deer during my late hunt..... Does and smaller bucks in hopes of find a mature buck I knew were around... Yes I was hoping for a nice buck.... And also didn't want my season to end that early with a 3 week late hunt that I was able to hunt most of.... Well all deer activity shut down and almost ate my tag.... Shot a mature doe on the 2nd to last day... Did the same thing last year to..... So I think I'm a meat hunter......
