Here’s my second day archery buck. Snuck into him on his bed, 20 yards frontal while he was snoring. He never took a step. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230902/63364f826c53f000f3f872dade8c0dfc.jpg)

Had a true giant come by at 20 yards last night. Main frame 5x4 muley with eye guards. One of the dozen does around him busted me and that was that. He was light sparring with another buck at 20 yards and I figured they'd be distracted so I tried to draw and she saw me move and raised hell. :bash: :cryriver:
Thats pure old fashioned buck luck! The ladies do a good job of protecting the bucks

Wa buck not the outcome I wanted as coyotes picked it clean in a day. Bittersweet end of WA deer for me. Pissed and I guess happy I turned him up. Woulda never looked where he was recovered. Learn something new.
C'mon, give us a better luck at that rack! Is it a 6x6 with a little trash? Sorry it didn't turn out the way you hoped.

Thanks! I saw him a couple times in preseason scouting and kind of wrote him off as a super fork, then I saw him again right before dark on Monday night and confirmed at least 1 legal eyeguard. Then the stars lined up and I tagged him Tues morning!

He is excited that he can now focus on filling his second deer tag with his grampa while I try and fill my tag.

Didn't plan on getting a deer today unless it was a decent buck. Mainly wanted to get out and look for elk. Saw two smallish 5 points and two big bulls. Only saw one buck, about 1.2 miles away. Finally gave in and got a spotting scope for this season and it was perfect. I caught a glimpse of a deer moving between bushes, but way too far for the 10x Swaros to tell what it was. Spotter showed a 3x4, I figured why not.
The area I was going to didn't look terrible, half way was flat without having to bust through brush, then hike up a hill, look across the way to the other hill, should be right there. Well I got up there and couldn't find the deer. Got out my phone to look at the brush he was around, couldn't match it up. Different perspective maybe? Did see a big 6 point bull on that hill, perfectly broadside, standing still while eating, and in range. Kept sneaking glances at him while looking for the deer, but where was he? Looked higher up the mountain, a lot farther away and fffffffffff.... I wasn't even close. Still had a long way to go, and then it started to suck.
Eventually got to 466 yards quartering away, dialed the scope, and first time recovering a 145 LRX. Retained weight was 144.3 gr with expansion going from .284 to .567. The 4 mile pack out sucked, but more meat in the freezer. My deer season lasted one day.

Saw a huge muley in the back of a black F250 going down 395. His antlers were sticking above the bed he was so big.
Did it look like this. 6x6

Some great bucks hitting the ground! It has been tough in our area.
Love to see all the kids' smiles on here!
We are trying to get the daughter's boyfriend his first buck this year (not a kid but it is his first year ever hunting). The search continues!

Just a small spike but definitely happy about it as a first deer and being able to eat some good meat! Sadly didn't get any pictures since I managed to slice my glove open while learning how to gut him & got covered in blood.

Wife got it done on her first buck this morning! 350 yard shot on his bed right in the neck. She threaded a needle and made an awesome shot! Best part is me and both kids were right next to her the whole time, and we were sitting 150 yards from where my daughter got her buck exactly a week ago: (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231022/921644d0942efc53fcfc5b05996e71a8.jpg)Yes!

My son had passed on a pair of spikes 30 minutes prior. He was feeling down and was quite sure he wouldn't see any good deer this year. A bit later, this guy walked right by me and was heading towards the boy so I just let him go. Somehow, my son didn't see him so after a few quiet minutes, I rounded him up and we went looking for the buck. We found him only 50 yards away with his nose up a doe's butt.

The wife got a little buck on the last day. Not very big but he has tons of character. Double main beam on one side. Would have had a double main beam on the other side too but looks like he busted it off. Double hooked points coming off the back of the bases. Cool buck!

Posted in the rut thread, but I'll put it here with the little story. With the weather cooling quickly here and the recent rut activity I've been seeing I told my girls they could skip school Friday if they wanted to go hunting. I thought they'd both jump at the opportunity but only my oldest did (I thought it would have been the other way around). Got a late start to the day after waiting for the tire shop to open to get winter tires mounted for my soon to be driving daughter's car. Made it to the woods at 8:45am and 1/4 mile past the gate we see a doe and a spike. I ask her if she wants to shoot the spike and she isn't really super excited about it, they move into the woods and we move on. It was cold and foggy so I knew glassing cuts wasn't going to be very effective so we headed for an old grassy spur rd with fairly thick reprod on both sides where I've seen good bucks before. We get out and walk a mile or so and I spot 2 does about 80 yards in the reprod. I glass them for 5 minutes or so, they're just hanging out and feeding occasionally. We're about to move on when they both turn and look to the same spot at the same time. I look closer through the binoculars and I see antlers, big antlers through the brush. He was bedded there the whole time. I knew my kid didn't have a clear shot where we were so we move around a little and she gets a tree rest where she says she can see it's neck clearly. I tell her to aim for his neck just below his head. I'm watching through my glass as her shot rings out. I see neck impact and he stands up. I'm like what the heck? I'm telling her shoot again, shoot again. A couple seconds and bang, flop. Does move 10 yards and watch. We get up to him and she says "oh my gosh he's big, and he stinks"! I'm freaking stoked, biggest blacktail I've ever been a part of harvesting. This is her 2nd buck. I said it's going to be real tough to top this one. We get him drug to the road we walked in on and I go get the truck and drive back to them. Got it gutted and loaded up, skinned and caped out by noon. God is good! I've got Idaho in a couple weeks then hopefully can fill our last WA tag the day I get back during extended buck.👍👍

Has it always had the double eye gaurds?Since I first saw him he’s always had a little nub of an eye guard on the front, but this is the first year he had any real growth in that extra one, plus a few smaller 1-1.5” bumps on both sides. Due to the how low the left lower eye guard sits, it makes that base measure 7.5”, the other is like an inch smaller . He also had decent growth on the eyeguards in march when I saw him. I hadn’t seen him again until opening day this year

Here’s my 2023 blacktail, been watching this guy for almost three years now. He regressed some since last year but still a beautiful buck with a ton of character (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231029/82b1a6c31ac7891114d70ed08acc8076.jpg)

I took a shot on this one on the 28th. Trying to get the 10 year old a shot but happened to quick in the thick. He was tired so I was carrying the gun and had a tiny shot window. Rutted up, smelled to high heaven. Was cruising for does, he had just swam a river into the area I was at that morning. From the 27th to the 30th saw a ton of bucks out cruising in daylight in low elevation sw wa. This guy has some mass for his size and looks like a slightly bigger twin from my buck last year that I killed 5 miles upstream along the same river drainage.
Was an amazing hunt to have my boy by me for the first time, just bummed we weren't able to get a shot for my son to shoot. I told him it was OUR deer, not mine. He was extatic about it the whole time. Hoping late buck pans out for his hunt. To top it off got it with a 20 gauge that belonged to a friend that passed unexpectedly almost 2 years ago. Very meaningful hunt all the way around.

This is now why I buy multi season tags. I normally hunt archery but having 3 bucks bigger than I've ever shot get away when my oldest was little cured me of that. Now they get pushed in the dirt and I use there back as a rest. :chuckle:
Great buck

Looks like the same genetics with the long eye guards

Last day of early season in 105. Hard to pass up with deer numbers down. Very happy with him

Very cool. Looks old with that white around the eyes. What kind of call? was it just a can?
Post by: Buckhunter28 on November 07, 2023, 06:02:01 AM
I’m not sure he’s a very old buck but rather just phenomenal genes, his body and hooves weren’t as large as you’d expect on a mature/old buck but I hadn’t even thought about how grey his eyes are, does make him look old! I could also possibly be not calibrated after only hunting mule deer the last 7 years and having helped my dad pack out a 340 pounder earlier this season

the picture angles do make it hard to tell it’s the same buck, I’ll post some good ones of the euro when it’s done appreciate the positive feedback! After tag soup the last few years with minimal time to hunt I’m thrilled

I filled my late season Blue mountains quality tag last Friday. Took a bit of a tumble off the rocky outcropping behind me and broke 2 tines. Had my pack goats with me to help with the 4 mile pack out.
Very cool. Please do a write up with pics of the goats packing.

Tagged this after watching him for the better part of a week. I've gotten his offspring a few times but never located the grandfather's core area until now, he never left an area of maybe 4 or 5 sq acres of thick brush during all of the time I was out.

Finally got the 2023 buck up at the new house, my first shoulder mount and I happened to pick the correct way for him to be facing before we bought the house lol (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240705/c4333323feabe6da740679fec1fade76.jpg)
