Nice buck, how many points did you have? I have 12 points for same hunt but I just took a job in Oregon so they will go to waste unless I want to buy non-resident WA tags for now on.2 or 3 point I think. It was a lucky draw and Hunt

Nice buck me and my dad have the oct 26 nov 3 permit my dad has never shot a big buck before Im chomping at the bit to get over there hopefully we can find a couple to put on the wallI found his kids shed about a mile from the spot I shot him. So I know that he is still their some where. I was coyote hunting and found the shed and jumped 2 nice 3x3- 3x4 last January so I thought I would start their and it paid off by 7:45am and back home by 1:50pm. So I am relaxing unit Wednesday then I have to go back to work. :'( But I go a lot of stuff done :chuckle: Hey good Luck and I hope you do well on your hunt. I can't wait to see some more Desert bucks.

What did you think of this unit as a whole?
I spent a solid week out there 2 years back with 2 tag holders. It is some great land with some big deer.
How many days did you spend scouting before your season?
Congrats on your buck!

How many days did you spend scouting before your season? I didn't have time to scout but I coyote hunted a lot in January and February 2013 seen lots of buck and found a shed that looks like might be one of his off spring 4 pt with eye guard. looks the same just not as thick at the base on up and about the 2pt I am not a antler hunter, Time to hunt and I didn't have time to scout so I didn't know if I would see any more deer because of all the duck hunters shooting ever where. Like I said I was thinks shooting but I passed It was the opener and I had until Wednesday.
Congrats on your buck!

I have been scouting for my son and have yet to see a monster. the biggest has been about 25 inches. have spent 15 half days looking. half days cuz I cant walk all day. there isn't as many deer in desert as people think. I don't know if I will apply there next year. mike w25inche is a trophy in my book.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got back my Tooth report back on this buck. He is only a 3 year old. I for sure thought he was older. I can't imagine how big he would of been in 2 or 3 more years. I also looked up the amount of permits for this unit and they are taking 1 permit out and only giving muzzleloaders 2 now. Thanks F-upThat's about where I would have guessed, I'm glad they reduced the permits too. :tup:

Hopefully I'll get my crack at them this season. I bought my MS deer and applied for Desert ML and A MF with my Q choices. Gonna take some luck for sure!I applied with only 3 for this unit for the first time with 3 point and was drawn. I didn't know what I was getting in to. I have hunted for coyotes there for over 17 years and seen many nice deer but I have never hunted them. The muzzle tag opens the same as Duck hunters Wow I didn't know if that was good or not. There were hundreds of people shooting at first light all around me but I think the deer are use to it. Good luck on you draw.

Thanks! I'm up to 6 points and this unit has always been my first choice for ML. This is the first year I've done the MS deer tag and applied for special permits with it. Fingers X'd!
