Title: My First Washington State harvest with a bow.
Post by: b0w_bender on December 26, 2013, 10:03:29 PM

September 2013:  After a long walk down an old tractor road I heard a peculiar crunching noise. I peered over the edge and down into the Dry creek bottom and there she was at 18 yards eating what was left of a fawn.  After I unsnapped my 9mm I nocked an arrow and made a perfect double lung shot.  She went 10 feet and expired. It was a hell of a long hike back out but worth every step. I had the skull cleaned with beetles and the hide is being made into a rug.

Just to clear a few things up it's not my first archery harvest it's the first animal I've taken in Wa state. I've gotten a lot of Whitetails in upstate NY and a pronghorn and Mule dear in Montana but I've been living in Wa now for 8 years and I finally tagged something. As luck would have it I also took a Black-tail doe this year too.
