Nice work Josh! Onto to Silvers next?
That’s the plan, and part of the reason for the first legal deer this year!

Stuck one yesterday. First legal (other than some does with fawns) deer I saw was the name of the game this year. (Yes I botched the tag notching)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180902/d4c25679afdb74e6aa77b9dc17458a04.jpg)
Good work!

Nice job all! We don't get to see many blackies taken while still in velvet. Love that!by the looks of the background I would say it isn’t a blacktail but I could be wrong.

Good work guys. Nock nock. Was that tag filled with a deer or a big bull? Thanks for leaving us hanging :chuckle:
Just got back in town, busy 3 days.
Sept. 1, Nephew shot his 1st bear at 8am, I shot my 4x4 at 9am.
Sept. 3, Nephew tagged a 3x3 at 930 am......Lots of breaking down meat to get into fridges today. :)
PS, Bull permit does not start until the 8th.....stay tuned.

He reminds me of a coues whitetail, short tines and squared off rack, hence the name Hector :dunno: :chuckle:. I have video of the shot and once I figure out what to do with it, I'll put it up! I heard him crash about 10 seconds after the shot. He went maybe 70 yards. I thought he was perfectly broadside, but the exit was a long ways back and through the gut. The video shows he was kinda curled towards me, but it worked! I watched him for almost 30 minutes before he turned sideways. I stared at his neck and shoulders A LOT as he ate.

2018 mule deer, shot on Labor Day with my ancient pse nova in the north cascades by the town of steheiken.
Great buck! Love the old Nova bows. I don't get all the hype about new bows. The technology doesn't change that much and the older bows still get the job done. Don't think a dead deer is going to tell the difference :tup:

I thought this was the same buck. I was pulling the Black Nova with blue flames on the car trailer. Gave you a thumbs up just West of Cle Elum on I-90. That was a nice set of horns. The other cars on trailers were calling me on the radio but I had already seen you.

Well here is my addition. Just a little one...but I can honestly say I am truly proud of this. I switched to archery three years ago, it it has taken me three season to harvest a deer with the bow...and this weekend I finally sealed the deal! Just south of Spokane and she only went about 40 yards! Funny thing is that as soon as I shot, I jumped two massive bucks...lol. Oh well. Next year I will focus on one of them!That's how it seems to happen :chuckle: once you down one then they all show up lol.
Nice first deer with a bow. :tup:

Had a little mix up at first light. This forkie and a three-point milling about in the semi-light - I was sure that I was on the three-point when I fired. That buck hung out for more than five minutes waiting for his buddy to get up off the ground. A bit of a disappointing finish to the season, but it feels pretty good to be tagged out on 02 Oct.muzzy?

Yup. I thought I had my accuracy issues figured out. Double cleaned, new powder, Powerbelt 295 gr. - aimed just behind the shoulder and hit him in the neck. Not even close to my aim point. He dropped bud didn't die. I had to walk down and finish him with a second shot.

Awesome shape for sure! Thanks for sharingThank you both! We spotted him at about 3/4 mile, got to within 325 yards, 20-25mph crosswind, the variation in wind drift was too great at that range so we belly crawled to 250 yards and that was as close as we were going to get. My shooting guru buddy calculated 5.3 MOA wind drift (13.25"), he was bedded quartering on. I held on the front of his near side rear leg, at the shot he jumped up, staggered and fell over. Bullet entered low in front of his near side front leg, went through his heart top to bottom. I thought it exited his far side rear leg, but that ended up just being a jacket fragment that passed through. .308, 165gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet expanded to .70" and was loose in his chest cavity.

This boys first deer. Fortunate enough to be along on several "first deer" over the years. Always the same big smiles and excitement.
I was wondering if you got it down. I saw you guys hiking around the finger ridge and didn't think you had enough time to have one cut up already. Must have been a dark hike out.

I killed a 3 pt meat buck. Would have liked to hold out of something bigger or older, but I had trail cams hung all summer and never got a single mature deer on one. All young 2 and 3 pts. I think we may have an age-class gap out there due to the winter of '16 (?).Grats any hows good eats all the same

Not the biggest rack but by far the biggest bodied deer to date for me. Hanging weight at the butcher was 141lbs.

I've been hunting the last 3 seasons with my dad, both of us totally new to any kind of big game hunting. My dad had some experience with doves and quails back in Texas, but that's it.
So me, at 41, and my dad, at 69, have been trying to put it together on our own for a few years now.
This year, I had done a lot of scouting, including trail cams for the first time, on some IEP land north of Spokane. Had a fairly active trail picked out, and a spot up the hill we could sit. We both had second deer tags, so we were tryin' to fill those in the early rifle season, and focus on the bucks in the late season.
So yesterday, we get to the spot just about as shooting light starts. I'd been hoping for wind, but no luck there. With all my scouting, I figured deer would use the low road coming from the right (about 65 yds) or the high road coming left (about 150 yds). We sat for a little over an hour, and then, since I'm still recovering from a cold, I let out a huge cough and figured "sure that spooked everything for 300 yards".
About 5 seconds later, two deer pop their heads up about 10 yards to our left and heading straight for us. We froze, and I can tell the closest one is a yearling fawn. The second one I can't see body, only head. They stare for probably half a minute before deciding not to come right towards us, and they trot down the hill. They disappear behind some trees, but are set to emerge right on the low road. They're both antlerless, and I figured the second one would be the mature mom doe. So I flick off my safety and get ready. First deer pops out from the trees, heads up the hill a few yards, and stops with its backside facing directly at me. No shot, but not the one I wanted anyway. The second walks out behind, slightly quartering away, and then stops. I pulled the trigger, and boom! It fell straight over.
It was not the best shot. It did pass through the stomach before hitting vitals and exiting the other side. It was also not the mom doe, it was another yearling, a buck. We tagged it and went the short distance back to the truck to get Rinella's book for instructions on gutting, etc, then got to work.
The skinning, gutting, and quartering was quite the learning process. Most of the internal cavity was coated in stomach contents, so some meat was not salvageable. But we did make it back with all 4 quarters in good shape. Not a lot of meat, but thankful for it at any rate.
In the end, it was an important step in the learning process for me and my dad, and hopefully I can get my kids involved sooner, so they can grow up knowing what I've been having to learn much later in life.

I got my first deer yesterday morning, but no pics cause my phone died right when we walked up on it.Good for you two! I grew up wanting to hunt in a nonhunting family, took Hunter Safety at 19 and began the slow long journey toward becoming a competent hunter. Would love to hear more about you and your dad's journey in future posts.
I've been hunting the last 3 seasons with my dad, both of us totally new to any kind of big game hunting. My dad had some experience with doves and quails back in Texas, but that's it.
So me, at 41, and my dad, at 69, have been trying to put it together on our own for a few years now.
This year, I had done a lot of scouting, including trail cams for the first time, on some IEP land north of Spokane. Had a fairly active trail picked out, and a spot up the hill we could sit. We both had second deer tags, so we were tryin' to fill those in the early rifle season, and focus on the bucks in the late season.
So yesterday, we get to the spot just about as shooting light starts. I'd been hoping for wind, but no luck there. With all my scouting, I figured deer would use the low road coming from the right (about 65 yds) or the high road coming left (about 150 yds). We sat for a little over an hour, and then, since I'm still recovering from a cold, I let out a huge cough and figured "sure that spooked everything for 300 yards".
About 5 seconds later, two deer pop their heads up about 10 yards to our left and heading straight for us. We froze, and I can tell the closest one is a yearling fawn. The second one I can't see body, only head. They stare for probably half a minute before deciding not to come right towards us, and they trot down the hill. They disappear behind some trees, but are set to emerge right on the low road. They're both antlerless, and I figured the second one would be the mature mom doe. So I flick off my safety and get ready. First deer pops out from the trees, heads up the hill a few yards, and stops with its backside facing directly at me. No shot, but not the one I wanted anyway. The second walks out behind, slightly quartering away, and then stops. I pulled the trigger, and boom! It fell straight over.
It was not the best shot. It did pass through the stomach before hitting vitals and exiting the other side. It was also not the mom doe, it was another yearling, a buck. We tagged it and went the short distance back to the truck to get Rinella's book for instructions on gutting, etc, then got to work.
The skinning, gutting, and quartering was quite the learning process. Most of the internal cavity was coated in stomach contents, so some meat was not salvageable. But we did make it back with all 4 quarters in good shape. Not a lot of meat, but thankful for it at any rate.
In the end, it was an important step in the learning process for me and my dad, and hopefully I can get my kids involved sooner, so they can grow up knowing what I've been having to learn much later in life.

A week ago Monday I had seen nothing but jumped a couple blue grouse into a tree and shot their heads off. What has that got to do with a deer? Bear with me!
So then the next day I walk out a short spur and when walking back there are a doe, two fawns and this big buck. Just on the crest of the hill so escape just a leap away. Darn buck has his rear right towards me and slowly walking towards safety. Only option I could see was shoot over his back at his head. I shoot, nothing and the deer is still there. Repeat twice more before buck walks out of sight.
I was just sick but after thinking about it I thought I must have shot high. Buck was down hill with rear up so not much of a target. Gun was sighted in 2" high at a 100 yards and this was about 200'. The gun can't be off! remember I shot the heads off those grouse yesterday and I can't remember banging the gun so carry on.
Couple days go by and I see a spike. Very difficult shot. All I can see is his head, moving and maybe 150 yards. I burn two shells. OK, that was a tough shot shouldn't be surprised.
Then yesterday I hunt all day and see nothing, while walking back to my bike there is a buck (maybe a 3 point, not sure) standing in the road rear end towards me but looking back and only 200 feet. Again with the head shots but that is all I seem to be getting. I rest on my shooting sticks and squeeze off three shots and hit nothing. Every shot I couldn't believe he didn't go down. That tears it, I head home, grab my stuff and head to the pit.
Three inches to the right and two high. I really can't figure it. I don't remember banging it and I was shooting 3/4 groups before season.
Any way, I been seeing nothing but deer close so I zero it instead of two high and of course back on center for windage.
I thought last night now that I have zeroed it out I will see a buck at 300 yards. How prophetic!
This morning I go to the place I have been hitting hard where I shot at that first buck. There is a ridge I usually sneak up to a middle road. I had never seen a deer on the lower part. Lots of slash there. But of course I am looking when walking the road to my ridge. At about 300 yards on the top of the ridge, a doe and two fawns. Then about 60' back I see the buck. I am sure this is the one I had shot at and missed a week ago Tuesday. Better angle today though. I shot off the shooting sticks, hit him right at the very last rib, exited just into the edge of his shoulder. Down he went and out of sight. I watch for a while then head up the hill. My heart was beating a million miles and hour by the time I climbed the hill and found him. Had to sit down for a bit. I think I just gave my self a do it yourself cardiac stress test. :chuckle: Likely I will not be running up a hill like that again.
Went out got my game cart, back in, drug the deer down the hill. 11:30 when I started peddling out and back to the truck by 1:30, about 3 miles.
Damn, the recliner feels good tonight. :chuckle:

As I was driving in the dark I was searching for three things:
A steep hill that I didn't want to climb (and neither would anyone else).
No cars parked anywhere near it.
No campgrounds anywhere near it.
Found an area that fit the above, started out as it was getting light. As I got to the top of the first ridge I found a herd, and just like the last few times out, they were all does and fawns. All ten.
A very short distance later, in another direction I find a herd of about 15 as they were moving up higher. I glassed the front deer first since they were father away, and made my way back. Doe, doe, fawn, repeat... until the very last deer, a buck! Finally!
Ranged him at 248, got in place and set, he hadn't moved too far so was likely 260, max. Mostly broadside, told myself take a few breaths, relax, and the 145LRX was on its way.
Unfortunately he slid/rolled damn near into the creek at the bottom, and would have if it weren't for all the brush. Can even see his path in the pic. Hill was too steep, he was too big, I was too weak, couldn't get him out from where he was so had to quarter him in place. Four hours after the shot, was in the 4Runner on my way home.

We get up at 3:30am ride our mountain bikes ungodly distances up ungodly hills, totally relieved to reach the top so we can coast down the other side the same ungodly distance. We know it will be hell going back, but will cuss and cry about that later. Your either soaked with sweat or rain, but either way your going to be wet. We enjoy every second of it......its blacktail hunting.

Wednesday was the first day of my annual week off for blacktail. Jakeland takes the same week off every year and all we do is hunt sunup to sun down.
We get up at 3:30am ride our mountain bikes ungodly distances up ungodly hills, totally relieved to reach the top so we can coast down the other side the same ungodly distance.

I usually don't post pics on here anymore but this one was special. My Dad Passed away last month and I was bound and determined to get a decent buck in his memory. He was watching over me today. I worked my butt off for this one. The old .250 Savage dropped him in his tracks.

I quit hunting with a rifle 15 years ago and took up now hunting. I never actually killed anything with a rifle but have been pretty successful with my bow taking multiple bucks, bulls and a moose. This is my first rifle kill at the age of 44. I shot him at 20 yards. I could have used my bow. :IBCOOL:
Nice buck :tup:
Most the deer I've shot I could have used a bow. The one I got this year was 40yards max.

I usually don't post pics on here anymore but this one was special. My Dad Passed away last month and I was bound and determined to get a decent buck in his memory. He was watching over me today. I worked my butt off for this one. The old .250 Savage dropped him in his tracks. Love the eye guards and trash.

My fiance took her first deer this past weekend and it was the coolest thing to be a part of. This is her first year hunting and shes hunting under the Montana hunter apprentice program. We were in the middle of packing out a doe I had taken when she told me to stop as she froze in her tracks. She kept her cool and opted to pass on the first shot opportunity because she didnt have a good rest. The doe bolted up the ravine and Melissa climbed out of the ravine in pursuit. I dropped my pack to follow as well. As I crested the ravine Melissa was settling into a good position 25 yards ahead of me waiting for a good board side shot as we'd talked about. She stopped the doe at 125ish yards with a grunt sound and made a great quartering away shot.
Looks like the household gear and tag budget is going up 2X!
Nice one!

Numbers are down. usually 75-80% of our group members fill their tags. This year only 3 tags filled out of 18.

It was an amazing opportunity for me and dear to my heart.
I got this big doe, right where my Jake got his first doe.
Pretty special 😇

New to the H-W Forum so this is little late. Last day of the General Season but my personal best. Love the chocolate color, I think I saw the antlers before noticing there was a body attached to it. Both of his G1's had some damage and he had a wound in the head from fighting. Pretty good size, he dressed out at 135 at the processor.
Nice one.👍
My biggest blackie had a fifty cent piece hole in his neck with green puss ozzing from it.
My step dads buddy killed the one later in the year that probably made the wound, he was a monster.🤣

This is my buddy’s first deer and his first year hunting. We pulled out a side road that had a couple cuts and a guy followed us out there but I knew the second cut was the best out of the 3 so I went to the second one didn’t see anything glassing and my buddy threw a rock and out pops a 2 point and a doe from where we can’t see. I got him setup and he made a good shot.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190104/f0dcd84c315370fade13795e01fefb88.jpg)
My other buddy’s first blacktail. Hiked down a clear cut a little to see the bottom and I spotted a doe with her fawn. She kept looking back up to where we couldn’t see and eventually she ran out of the cut so I moved to where I could see the rest of the cut and spotted this buck with a doe and my buddy got setup and made a good shot and the buck dropped.

Another one of my buddy’s first blacktail
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190104/6ee2884622d51533ab107516d2a507d1.jpg)
I also took 2 other people archery hunting and they both had more than one close shot but being new to hunting they struggled at holding still and did not get a deer. For me I was archery hunting and holding out for a 2 point or better. I saw shooter bucks all the way till the end of the late season. The 3rd to last day me and my dad saw one of the biggest bucks I’ve seen in a long time. We hit the timber he went into but never saw him again. Was a fun and good year. All of these deer were taken on state land.
