Title: First Archery Whitetail
Post by: Intruder on December 01, 2008, 10:43:43 AM: This is my first year archery hunting for deer. Got this guy last week right before T-Giving. An OK 3x3. Grunted him in and stuck him at about 18 yards. He went about 100 yards before piling up. His back straps were delicious :)

WA is the only place I've been where people count whitetails by "western count" when the rest of the world speaks "eastern count". And brow tines are scorable points - count 'em!

You killed a GREAT 8 pointer!

Nicely done!

Ya, I gotta go with Pa on this one as well. If I called that deer an eight point in my hunting camp, I might get stuck doin dishes for a few days until I learned my lesson ;) Besides - why would I live in the west and use eastern count? Just as well live in the South and call myself a yankee. :tung:

Of course I'm pokin a little fun, but if someone showed me that picture on the street and asked me to describe it - good lookin three point.
