Title: Nooksack Quality Buck Down
Post by: TheSkyBuster on November 18, 2014, 11:04:42 PM: GMU 418 Blacktail

It took 6 years for me to draw this tag and it all came together this afternoon.

130 yard off hand shot. My Savage 116 in .270 win with a 140gr Sierra Game King HPBT and 55.5gr RL-22 was good deer medicine.

My brother and I both had the permits and filled our tags.

Didn't get the weather and snow to make that hunt what it could be.

Ain't that the truth! The permit hunts ended today. Wind and rain start tomorrow. :bash:
