Title: Not quite a shooter or is he?
Post by: wastickslinger on August 29, 2009, 09:03:42 AM: Well archery season flew up on me and I figured I better get out and scout for at least one morning before the opener. Good thing I have multi-season tag or this buck might be in trouble. He'll get a free pass until late archery if my tag is not filled on a better one by then. Check out the extra main beam buck, wish he had a better frame to go with that dagger.

Post by: wastickslinger on August 29, 2009, 09:22:30 AM: These are on private land. But they do wander off once in while.

Post by: wastickslinger on August 29, 2009, 09:37:38 AM: Too hot and dry to spend time alot of time early for me too. The late hunt is the fun one.

Post by: boneaddict on August 29, 2009, 09:43:53 AM: I'm not really looking forward to dumping a velvet buck. I hope they do more rubbin up high. Looks like some fun ones to neak up on.

Post by: wastickslinger on August 31, 2009, 05:11:51 PM: Ok, so with Multi-Tag I set my goal at 150 min until late season. Is this buck going to make 150 gross? I am horrible at scoring.

No. He will be hard pressed to break 140" gross - I would say more like 130's........Don't you already have a couple of bucks like that? Wait for good one - 155" is where they start getting interesting in WA with a bow.
