Otc , yup. Permit, nope!
How big does a buck have to be to shoot one here in Washington with a special permit in hand?

Definitely if I could get close enough!
At 55, moving right to left to a doe at 40, will cross open slot broadside at 30. Wind in face will like be facing away at the doe.

Anyone who says "no" has not hunted the late Swakane in the last 20 years. That is a 2%...maybe 1% buck right there and if you don't shoot it, your likely going home empty handed. You can hunt that unit hard for the entire season and you will be lucky to find one bigger. Are they big boys there....yes, but not as many as there used to be.
We saw a buck like that in there last year but he was a 3x4 and there was about 5 different guys trying to kill him. We saw him in the first 30 minutes. Total fluke to see him.

Based on Bone’s last couple posts it looks like TH is holding out for a book typical when he draws :chuckle:

I’m in photo safari mode if anything. I was thinking about around the Klick this weekend. Something about a mossy bench leg. I am pretty sure the Mrs has other plans for me though.

3x4, the Central Washington curse. Straight up 4x4s are fairly hard to come byVery true. If they do make a 4 they usually have weak fronts around here. As always there are exceptions to the rule.....

I have already seen 2 that are bigger and couldn’t get closer that 120 yards. Archery is already tough enough

Archery yes.!!

Stay with them and bed them. Those bucks are tired. When they bed I've had them get bumped and bed again in less than 75 yards. I shot one in his bed years ago in the snow. He never even turned his head.
