Title: High Buck Hunt Buck
Post by: Chesapeake on November 09, 2007, 10:38:32 AM: My budy killed this guy up in the Glacier Peake wilderness this september. We packed in for a 5 day hunt and this was the only legal buck we saw. I got a glimps of him the 1st evening and it took 3 more days of watching the area for him to make a mistake and offer a shot. The year before I got a little 3x3 with double eyeguards.

We left the background out because the area is easy access and not at all a secret. We wouldnt want to add to the crowding by showing the potential.

I guestimate the buck in the 150 range. Not a book deer but it is the biggest I've ever seen in Washington that was legal for the taking when I was looking at it.

Seriously, I really appreciate photos without blood showing on the trophy. Something I've been guilty of most of time.

That shot took a bit of dragging, to get to flat clean ground, and some clean up and creative positioning. Here is a pic of a little Sitka I took up on POW a few years back. I personaly dont care for blood, or tongues hanging out in my pics. I've gotten a bit better at the pics with time.

Not sure how I messed that up. Second try.
