Nice write up Mike, watch the landmark pictures.

Seems like if you can recognize the area from a picture, well, you have already been back there right?

Actually not.  One guy I informed who had a picture from his successful camp looking at a landmark from a certain direction you could pin point the location. :  If you don't think it happens your mistakened it's called trolling. :twocents:

I know right where that is! Hunted that pocket for several years. Never posted a pic of it though.

Great story and pictures
I love those back country bucks

Another Washington State record book buck, 168 5/8ths, killed in its bed from the same place by a 16 year old friend of mine!

That is an extra ordinary 5x5.  Very symmetrical.  Beautiful deer

Gorgeous buck! Would have pegged him for quite a bit better than 168". But a buck like that, who cares what he scores. Total stud!

It was the extra point on the G3 that lowered young Colton's bucks score in the typical category and that boosted it in the non-typical. So go the quirks and oddities of B&C scoring.

The buck below was killed this fall by my neighbor on the Chiwawa River, with late permit in hand, while I accompanied him. Almost certainly a migrant heading out of the GPW. I Don't know its score yet. My guess is high 140's.

Another good example of the cryptic and capricious nature of these wilderness studs. As we had seen no bucks while scouting or hunting in September, October or most of November.

Spring bear. One of the greatest hunts I've been on. Not because of the bear I killed but the experience that was had throughout the season.

Hunting our high buck spot during modern. Wasted time up too high. Moved down to the melt line and started finding deer on our last day. My buddy shot a chubby one.

I'd recommend one for sure.  I enjoy mine.  Big enough for two and gear and a palace for one.
