I am going mule deer hunting in the rut this year for the 1st time ever with a rifle. Looks like I'll be the one and only late season tag holder down in the Tucannon unit in the Blues. I'm so damn excited right now I could puke. I also got a 2nd tag for antlerless whitetail in the Peola unit down there. Looks like I better keep doing my excersizes.
:yike:
-
Right on Jackelope. Congrats
-
Glad to hear that. You will have stories to tell and pictures to show.
-
Oh you lucky dog, holler if you need a spotter with ya. congrats
-
Wow nice draw... :o
-
muleys in the rut you will have a blast! Not to mention you are the only tagholder, sweet!
-
:cryriver: That tag was suppose to be for me. :'( :'(. Good luck jackelope....If I didn't get it I'm glad someone on here did.
-
Congrats :brew:
I also applied for that tag :P
-
CONGRAT!!!! Should be one heck of a hunt!
-
Very nice jackelope! I think you should be concentrated on that antlerless Peola tag myself..... :chuckle:
-
Congrats Jackelope, that should be a great hunt. I have seen a couple of real good bucks down there during the elk season.
-
Thanks for all the kind words. I'm really looking forward to it.
I'll do the tag as much justice as I possibly can!

I've heard it's now a barren wasteland...nothing but a few chipmunks and some good eating mushrooms here and there.
I didn't let that sway me from my application choices.
-
Goodluck!!

aren't those blacktails over in that unit? where is the tucannon? :chuckle:
-

That's awesome you got the tag you really wanted! I know what ya mean about the exercising :chuckle: I turned a new fitness leaf at the beginning of the year and am in some of the best shape Ive ever been since I turned 21 nine years ago :chuckle: Late tags are great incentives to keep in shape!

What? Two pages and no Tucannon deer whisperer on here yet to tell you what you should be holding out for with that tag? Congrats Josh, I think that hunt might not suck!
-
Congrats on the 2nd deer tag...er....I mean.....what was that other tag?
-
Awesome! I've seena few studs in there during elk season. I've also got a Tucannon tag, but it's early muzzy. Just me a 9 others.

Congrats man..hunting in the old stomping grounds! Nice.. I drew a muzzy cow tag in Dayton too.
-
Sweet! I can't wait to see what you pull out of there! One of the best tags in the state right there!!!!
-
Congrats, and thanks for the info last year. I really hope you tip over a monster.
-
Thanks for all the kind words, folks.
I'm really lucky to have a tag like this.
-
I'm really lucky to have a tag like this.
:DOH:
Yeah, I think that could be the understatement of the year for the Hunt-WA crowd! Congrats on the great tag. We'll get together someday and figure out how and where the studs will be. I may have to go with you to carry the rifle, though. We can't be having you pull the trigger on the first little dink 190" buck you see. ;)
-
Jackelope, How many points did you have?
-
Awesome! Congratulations!
-
Jackelope, How many points did you have?
Don't tell anybody but I only had 4 points.
True story.
I'm sorry.
:yike:
Going to take cover now.
-
Congrats Josh!! :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: I hate that damn TAG fairy though!!! >:( :chuckle:
-
Tag Fairy???
-
Jackelope, How many points did you have?
Don't tell anybody but I only had 4 points.
That's one thing about hunting in Washington. With a bonus point system, anybody can draw any tag, reguardless of points.
-
Are there big ones in that unit?
-
Are there big ones in that unit?
Nope, muley hunting in the Blues is worse than the elk hunting... ;)
-
Are there big ones in that unit?
140 or bust, baby!!
-
CONGRATS!!!
p.s. leave those fairy wings in the garage unless there's enough snow to warrant them :chuckle:
-
I have a question. a one and only tag with 4 points, does this make *censored* status? :chuckle:
-
I'd use the bow for the first week. You'll be mad at yourself if you use a rifle on one of those rut crazed *censored*s.

1-The season's only 5 days long
2-I'd like to kill a big mule deer once before I decide to make it more difficult on myself...I'm ok if you want to call me a wuss...
3-I definitely won't be mad at myself this time anyway.
I've been telling myself lately I want 1 good buck with the rifle then I'll switch to the bow for everything.

yes I guess it probably does.
-
Should be lots of snow by then. Are you going to approch it from the river?

Excellent, now I expect a great photo shoot from you this fall!

Looking at the options right now and trying to decide. It looks like there may be a few options.
-
Congrats on the tag jackalope! This has the potential to be a GREAT hunt!
-
I happen to know a sherpa who could help pack out of that hell-hole! :chuckle:

Doesn't look steep at all from that pic. Just a walk in the park. ;)
-
I bet that will be just that, a walk in the park, or somethin

I think you need some Hunt-WA members as scouts with flare guns..once the Brambies are spotted...LOL a couple of guys with french horns to sound the start of the hunt..video crews from Muley Crazy..LOL...
-
and a Barrett for when you have been really stealthy getting in range for the shot :chuckle:

Funny I was just looking at another thread (Dayton/Lickcrk pics) and came across this..a quote from jackelope to Bigbullballs.."*censored* and Points" are the keywords here...LOL
"BigBullBalls...you ought to get off your high horse. I suppose you were never an *censored* with 2 points, ehh? would you consider yourself an *censored* if you drew with 2 points? good gravy man, grow up!!"
:chuckle: :chuckle: :stirthepot:

Oh Jesus Yelp! WHat are you trying to do??!! We thought we put the *censored*s to bed a week ago!! :bash: :bash: :chuckle:
-
That's a great picture above! Looks like a good reason to buy some $1600 binos.
-
Unless you decide to buy 6 pairs of boots to wear out.......
-
I have your back on this one it's the luck of the draw we have all been standing there with the short straw and we will be there again! You got lucky and I congat you! have awsome time and if you need help on that peola hunt feel free to ask ( just in case your not familiar will or have land up there!) and don't go in the forest it's not open to your tag! ( Peola area ) :hello:
-
I know the Peola area and have land to hunt there, although I think I will be eating that one in lieu of the Tucannon late hunt. I don't have the time for both hunts and never thought I had a prayer of drawing a quality tag.
Thanks for the kind words.
p.s. Todd, I got some new boots.
