My dad and I took a trip out to Grayback to see if we could harvest a nice buck this year. After 4 days of not even seeing a doe I told my day we should pack up our camp site and head down the road to another place we have scouted a month before. As soon as we got there I had my doughts,cause we talked to a hand full of hunters and they all said the same thing " seen alot of sign but no deer, no one has shot a buck in camp since opening day". I figured it was the morning of our last day so we should give it a shot anyway. I told my dad that we should just split up and push all morning and meet back at the truck at noon. We split apart and I was walking for about an hour and a half when I came into a big meadow and saw a nice little 3x3 mulie jump up from his bed. I put the scope right behind his shoulder and squeezed the trigger. I was excited and overwhelmed with joy knowing i had harvested my first ever buck. He wasn't the biggest mulie out there but he will put meat in the freezer, and I think it was a good buck to break the ice with

Nice looking animal, but as I looked the animal over it reminded me more of a Blacktail then a Mulie.

Do you guys think the cross is the reason it has eyeguards? I don't know if I have ever seen a 2pt blackie with eyeguards.

A little info for your guy's debate on mule vs blacktail :chuckle:..... Grayback unit 388 use to be 588. Which means that they use to say it was Western washington Blacktail. After they changed to 3 point or better in that unit it was now 388 which means it is a Eastern Mule deer unit. Since sooo many people from Klickitat county hunt unit 388 and 382 they came to the concusion to just make all of Eastern Klickitat County Mule deer. As far as the breed of that area it is a Cascade Blacktail and Mule Deer Cross. So that is why you could get some nice mules out of Grayback and also you could get a nice Blacktail out of it. Hope that clears up some things. My :twocents:. I grew up in and still hunt in the Goldendale Area.
