Title: yakima firing center buck?
Post by: tonymoe on October 02, 2009, 01:47:19 PM: I don't know if any one has seen this pic or not, I didn't want to post it if it's been on here already. I heard about it during archery elk and just got sent a pic of it. With all the photo shop work done these days, who knows if it's real?

I work on the base and have seen several nice bucks come through where I work. If you have a Muzzle loader or rifle tag for the base and you have the time to pass on the first buck you see you will get the chance to harvest a great buck. There are going to be a lot of great bucks killed this year.

Post by: andrew_12gauge on October 02, 2009, 03:56:33 PM: that is a really nice buck but how can you guys be so sure it is no 2 in the state as it cant be officially scored until it dries for 60 days, maybe a different scorer will find an extra inch or 2 and make it no 1

Post by: Bullsnot on October 02, 2009, 09:00:27 PM: Both the bucks from out there are absolute hogs! Did they really give out 50 modern rifle tags out there this year??? I heard that somewhere; and if they did, there should be plenty more pics to come....
Title: Re: yakima firing center buck?
Post by: andrew_12gauge on October 02, 2009, 09:34:18 PM: theyve been giving out 50 or more rifle tags for a few years now, it was closed to hunting though last year

Post by: Gobble Gobble on October 04, 2009, 02:07:29 PM: What sucks is to work at YTC and to be down range working and seeing some nice bucks and the occasional Bull and know that you didn't get drawn so all you can do is just watch and hope it lives another year or that your buddy got drawn so you can put them on it.

Now if that pair of cougars would just show themselves again ;)
I wish Sage Grouse were legal cuz they are all over BIG and as dumb as dumb can be.
