Title: chewuch late rifle tag!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: slinger on June 24, 2010, 04:09:48 PM: After 12 years of putting in I finally drew a late tag!! Has anybody else had this tag?? And if yes lets hear some stories and pictures if you got them. Friend of mines wife killed a hog in that unit last year. So as you can imagine I cannot wait.

Post by: jameslong on June 24, 2010, 04:15:07 PM: Congratulations! That hog you speak of was in the EHJ and what a deer it was. Please honor that tag, why do people get late tags and then shoot 160 class deer? That makes no sense at all.

I love it when people shoot small bucks with special tags. Makes for bigger bucks when I draw it.

Nice Tag by the way!!!!!

thats a complete *censored* statement. there are plenty of reasons to shoot deer other than score.
Title: Re: chewuch late rifle tag!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: boneaddict on June 24, 2010, 06:58:26 PM: Many people have never seen a 160 buck on the hoof. There are A LOT of "180" bucks running around out there that go 130 or less. A trophy is in the eye of the beholder and as JDB said, there are plenty of reasons to shoot other than score. I've got a couple 140 bucks that most of you guys would give a left nut to shoot
Title: Re: chewuch late rifle tag!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: bobcat on June 24, 2010, 06:59:46 PM: The buck I shot in the Entiat in '04 scored 162 something and I was plenty happy with it. I didn't realize a 160 buck was considered a dink. :dunno:

I couldnt agree more... Buts its always nice when that trophy is also considered a trophy by B&C... lol..
Title: Re: chewuch late rifle tag!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: halflife65 on June 24, 2010, 07:11:43 PM: A 160 buck is a really nice buck in this state. That being said, I ate an Entiat archery tag (first time in about 15 years I didn't shoot a buck - knock on wood) because I decided I was looking for that hog. Passed up a few in the 120 to 140 class range and a bunch in the 110 to 120 range.

Title: Re: chewuch late rifle tag!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: bobcat on June 24, 2010, 07:21:35 PM: I'd have a hard time passing that buck up, that's for sure.
Title: Re: chewuch late rifle tag!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: halflife65 on June 24, 2010, 07:21:38 PM: Great buck - congratulations!
Title: Re: chewuch late rifle tag!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: boneaddict on June 24, 2010, 08:28:36 PM: Thats what you have to do halflife, to shoot a trophy unless you are just plain lucky. Gotta pass on the smaller ones to get the bigger ones. last year there was zero percent success on this tag hunt I am headed to in Nevada yet they averaged 40 bucks per day. To me that means stalking them must be fairly difficult.
Title: Re: chewuch late rifle tag!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: mkcj on June 24, 2010, 08:55:35 PM: In case your wondering that buck is 26.5" wide and scored 163+ there is only 2 1/8" difference between the 2 sides those are my numbers also have not had it scored officially. I got him back from my taxidermist a month ago and look at him everyday up on the wall and just say Thank you!

That's cool on the Nevada draw. I'll see if I can get a picture of the Nevada buck my buddy shot last year (rifle). Didn't score well - sort of short tined - but it was 30" wide.

Good luck on your hunt! I hope we see some pictures of a whopper that you bring back.
Title: Re: chewuch late rifle tag!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: head hunter on June 24, 2010, 10:21:09 PM: yeah right I love the fact that people think, that because the magizines are full of 200'' bucks that 160s are small, or they dont even know what one really looks like. Those are same people that kill 18'' 4X4s in general season and curse washington for not having bigger bucks, not knowing that they are the real problem.
Title: Re: chewuch late rifle tag!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: bowhunterforever on June 25, 2010, 12:07:40 AM: Thats a great buck mkcj :tup: Sure there might be bigger but trophy is in the eye of the beholder :twocents: And your right head hunter there's some monster bucks in wa.

The deer are very healthy from the light winter with great horn growth even on the small deer I think there's going to be some real hog's taken this season.

A near perfectly symetrical rack like that can score 10 3/8" and I'll still take it any day!! That's just a fantastic buck!

My left nut has been disabled. You can have it if you'll point me in the direction of some of those so-called 180 class bucks. :chuckle:

Post by: Wea300mag on July 14, 2010, 08:21:58 PM: I was camping in the 8-mile area last weekend and saw a dandy up high. I was a little too slow with the camera or I would have a pic for you. He was a very tall, 26-28" wide, 4x4. Horns weren't super massive but he still had some growing to left in him.

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on July 18, 2010, 11:54:53 PM: Following those that post to this thread... Many of you hunt this unit. So do I. I've hunted it off and on for years. I don't know a damn one of you!!! :chuckle: Any one of you could have been a camp neighbor and I'd/we'd have never known it.

Yes, it would be sweet to go back during November for this hunt. Alas, I was not drawn again. But the temptation being what it is, I still might go in November if I don't hunt Elk at that time, just to camp and take a lookie see...
