Title: my first washington muledeer hunt success
Post by: strutnrut1984 on October 20, 2009, 10:03:52 AM: well my first muledeer hunt in washington turned out well. got invited by some friends to hunt in okanogan county. im very grateful to them for this experience. got a nice 5x5 on oct 18th was the third buck id seen that morning. the first 2 came down behind me while iwas taking a pee lol so i never got a shot one a nice 4pt and the other a little 2pt. so there i was cussing to myself lol. when about ten minutes later i look back and see this guy coming down the ridge. yes hes going on the wall. strut

Post by: Wyoming08 on October 20, 2009, 11:36:47 AM: A couple years ago up in the bumping unit my boy and I and 2 friends had hiked a couple miles in and we stopped to relieve ourselfs just off the trail and we started talking and whatnot when this big 3 point jumped up not 50 yard from us and bolted! :( That was the only Buck we saw all weekend.

SO JUST A REMINDER TO EVERYONE WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR WEAPON IN YOUR HAND, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR GUN CLOSE BY. :rolleyes:

so i never got a shot one a nice 4pt and the other a little 2pt.

3pt min right? I thought that was state wide on mule deer.

Am I wrong?

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on October 26, 2009, 10:00:13 PM: What Strut didn't say is that he was a big'ole SumBits! What was he? 197# on the hook at the butcher? Prolly 240# on the hoof. Thank God for Deer carts!
