THe long story is there is no story. A 5x5 with eyeguards. I haven't told my story as there is no story. I don't feel like being judged for my feelings about how pitiful my hunt was. I saw him from the road, walked up to him and killed him. That kind of hunt does not float my boat but I don't want to seem smug about someone elses form of hunting. I hope all those poised for judgement can understand. Meat is in the freezer, the $180 tag is notched. I don't have pics. I plan on doing the maceration thing maybe.
Congrats!! You went outside without a camera???

Nope! I hear ya.....

Nothing wrong with taking an easy one after lots of hard ones! :)

I won't judge you. I shot my biggest deer ever a few years ago. We hunted 5 days hard (out of the truck) and saw nothing. We finally gave up and got back in the truck to head out of the area. Giant 4 x 4 mulie walks out 10 feet in front of the truck. It made it across the road, across the ditch, and I shot it before it hit the timber at 5 yards. When we got back to camp, everyone was thinking we packed in 10 miles plus to get a deer that size. I felt embarassed to even tell the story, as it was not much of one. Cettainately was not what I call "hunting". I call it "right place, right time hunting aka GOT LUCKY!" Hey...I will take it, but it would have been nice to share something good with everyone. Still a great memory!
:yeah: I shot my biggest buck driving in between spots. The deer are where you find them. sometimes that not where they are supposed to be.... ;) :chuckle:

$180 tag? I must have missed something here...or maybe you are counting the costs for all your other WA State tag fees....just curious. :dunno:

Of anyone I've ever seen post on here I would say Bone has the best chance to shoot just about any deer of this choosing. Does anyone put more leather down and see the number of bucks he does? I know I sure don't....not even close.
Thanks for showing the deer Bone and thanks for the pics that keep coming.

Very nice looking buck, and with the longbow. Congrats!

My current hunting partner and I took a younger guy with us one morning to see if he could fill his tag with the buck we had bedded at dusk the night before. He is a little new to the whole hunting scene. Long story short he got too far ahead of us and spooked the deer into one of those canyons that aren't made for 2 legged critters to walk down.
Just about the time I saw our young apprentice 200 yards ahead of us I heard a noise behind me. I turned around to see a ram and ewe about 35 yards behind me. They stood on a small outcropping just looking at me like "what are you doing here"? The ram was only about 2/3 of a curl.
Lots of bear, cougar and moose sign. We saw a lot of does. I didn't see any wolf tracks, but know they aren't too far north of there.
We did see a nice 4x4 whitetail, 5 if you count eye guards. He was by the houses just south of the bunny slope above Chelan.

Entiat slaughter??

Was expecting to see a thread on what's going on in the entiat right now. I hear its just more of the same, Indians slaughtering big mulies on their winter range. Someone have more details? Heard some info but just hearsay at this point. All I know is SOMETHING needs done before someone gets hurt or killed over this crap!
Could this be part of the reason Manson was such a dud this year? Are people coming to that side of the lake and doing the same thing?

I quit hunting the manson side 15 or 20 years ago. Last i heard the fruit pickers were poaching and the game warden at the time was afraid of them or something. Last time i went there for late archery we went to my old spot. But 4 miles in in fresh 4in of snow from the day before . We cut not 1 set of tracks. Thats how i found Entiat. We headed over there cause it was always good back when i rifled hunted. Have not been back to manson since...
