It's my buddy's buck, so I dont know that I have any pictures of it.  I am in Vegas right now, so I will check when I get back next week and post some if I do!

This is isn't even close to a 11x7 but here are a couple pic of a buck I shot over on Vashon some years ago.  I started to try to do my own mount and never even finished, it has been like this for years in my garage and just pulled it out to take a couple pics for this post.

So, Vashon is in the same hunting unit as issaquah...Its a regular season, but is there going to be hunting allowed in the general season on private property?  I know people have been talking about the island hunting season being limited

Your question is hard to understand. If its within 454 you abide by the unit 454 regs regardless if your hunting public or private. The fact that it's an island doesn't make a difference.

Vashon is actually Deer Area 4013 (as well as GMU 454), which means you can take "Any Deer" during modern, archery, or muzzleloader.  And it's not closed for any season.

for modern firearm you can only shoot "any buck" not any deer just clearing that up o no one gets in trouble

[Bantams]

Nope, "Any Deer" for modern season in Dear Area 4013 (Vashon-Maury Island).
"Any Buck" for 454 Issaquah.

oops i didnt see that part sorry, i looked in the regs but it still seems iffy are you 100% sure because i have a buddy at work that was actually looking to hunt vashon for modern firearm with his shotgun but we werent aware he could take a doe. thats nice to know

I've shot many deer out there, we have a little property out there. Everybody is right about people not wanting you to hunt, but it will work if you ask around. About there not being any predators out there, you are way wrong. I believe the state has released coyotes out there in the last 6 or 7 years to knock down the deer herd because people won't let you hunt and there is no hunting on Riveria Country Club. I have shot two coyote and have seen at least one everytime I've been out there the last 3 years, sometimes two or three. Oh yea, you won't see too many fawns out there because of that. Only in Riveria where there are a lot of people will you see fawns.

Looks like Riviera Country Club is on Anderson Island... 
Yes, there are some coyotes on Vashon, most likely ones that swam over.  They don't seem to be influencing the deer population yet.  Cars kill more deer on Vashon than anything else.

Yeah, Riviera is on Anderson. Lots of yotes too

[Igottanewknee]

Funny thing. I have yet to see a deer hit by a car out there, and the speed limit is thirty five. Again, a lot of coyote. Deer are always on the side of the road, and the people that live out there know it and slow down.
