I said yes but that was me with a longbow.  Rifle in hand I would hold.   Might be sick about it, but I would hold

looks like a nice mature buck with some great mass...

That would be a click boom as well, unless it was day one, then I MIGHT be able to hold off, but probably not!!

Smokepole Oregon... Probably.
Entiat late modern.... No.

I can't do it. Maybe if his passenger side matched his driver's side.
(with my modern permit)

Nope,  HOLD!!!   Gotta be bigger than that!    Too crabby on the one side!

Post by: carpsniperg2 on October 09, 2010, 08:34:36 PM
yeah i would keep looking, unless it was last day then its game over.

That's tough to pass, but his crab claw is killing me. Wait to long for a tag like that, to kill an "almost" buck.

With a permit? Last day buck.

 :'(  Decisions, decisions, decisions.... Boom.

I would have to say shoot it this year. With my hip talking to me daily, I would have to say shoot. In a few years after a bit of surgery...I would let him go.

Post by: jaymark6655 on October 10, 2010, 09:52:20 AM
Wish he was more even, but anything with three points a side or better would be good enough.  Besides I don't have any place to display that thing.

Post by: WDFW-SUX on October 10, 2010, 09:54:26 AM
General season BOOM!

Permit nope.

Im getting to the point that 4pts get shot in general seasons....
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: bucklucky on October 10, 2010, 09:58:41 AM
Im not waisting 12 points on him, pass.
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: WDFW-SUX on October 10, 2010, 10:00:00 AM
Im not waisting 12 points on him, pass.

Exactly my thoughts. Hell might be 20 by the time I draw...

Post by: Pathfinder101 on October 10, 2010, 10:03:39 AM
I voted yes, BUT, I would be hunting the unit with someone who knows it.  If he told me to hold off, I would hold off. 
PathfinderJR says he would pop a gasket if he saw that buck.
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: mulehunter on October 10, 2010, 10:14:10 AM
Pass, Maybe my Daugther might Tag him before Wolves Wipe out all.

Post by: SkookumHntr on October 10, 2010, 10:17:26 AM
If he had Eyegaurds I would really be thinking about it but I would pass aswell. Dandy buck though!
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: washelkhntr on October 11, 2010, 10:36:57 PM
Hmmm, I've never shot a muley, so for me it is a no brainer.  :hunter:
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: Special T on October 12, 2010, 07:23:42 AM
Rifle I'd pass, Bow I'd stick'em.  :twocents: That fact that it is a draw tag would make me lean heavy on passing even with a bow, but i want to get a nice 4pt mule and BT with my bow...
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: dewandgin on October 12, 2010, 10:56:51 PM
Pass with bow and with modern. With a permit I would be looking for better or know there was better.
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: Kent Hunter on October 25, 2010, 05:29:58 PM
I'm with Bone on this one. Bow=Yes. Rifle, I'd hold out for a bigger buck.
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: jdb on November 04, 2010, 12:26:28 PM
I voted pass but it would depend on many variables.

I don't really care what day it is.  He's going down.
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: GoldTip on November 04, 2010, 12:45:31 PM
I voted pass, but if it was a bow in my hand I'd slip an arrow into him.
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: Widgeondeke on November 04, 2010, 02:24:54 PM
can't eat the antlers. He's brown and going down.  :chuckle:
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: NWWABOWHNTR on November 04, 2010, 02:39:32 PM
I'd only pass if I knew I had a chance at BIGGIE or Majestic..... nice pics bone!
Title: Re: Permit boys turn
Post by: Dan-o on November 04, 2010, 03:04:24 PM
I would have voted NO but you said to be honest........   and honestly, if I spot that buck, it's going down if I can help it.

It would be a fine bench mark from which I could improve in later years.

Post by: wastickslinger on November 04, 2010, 03:18:56 PM
I say pass as an armchair QB. But in real life he would have hit the dirt in a second.  :chuckle:

since ive never drawn a permit and never taken a muley like that [even in Mont.]and after 5 days I would probably not have any more vacay time hes going down,and I would be very happy about it.

Ok. I drew a Metolius muzz tag in hopes of killing a 170 buck or even better. Hunted my ass off in a foot of snow, rain and wind through some of the thickest *censored* I have ever seen. Was seeing about 100-150 deer a day. 90% does, the remainder spikes and two's. Did jump a super heavy dark horned 3 that never offered any shot with my muzzleloader. Spooked another 160ish buck on my last day that disappeard in about 5 seconds in that same thick manzanita I mentioned before. On my last day I ended up shooting a small 4x4. No monster but made some use of a $375 tag.  :) Maybe some day if you ever apply for an out of state hunt instead of talking about it each year, you might get an opportunity at a big buck! You read too many magazines ;) So all in all, I shot the third biggest buck of my trip! Happy?

That is good thing because you did not want to have 2 taxidermy bills this year anyways, with that late tag in your pocket

I was a little buzzed last night :chuckle: I should switch to decaff after six o clock. I've been laying in bed awake every night ever since draw results came out. :chuckle: At least it made for a quick read, didn't see a reason to dump a novel in your guy's lap!

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on January 01, 2011, 07:06:56 PM
I said no.. But that would also weigh on what I'd have been seeing and how long I was into the hunt. Very good looking buck though. Range to target, location to private land with ability to recover the animal or not might have crossed my mind. Later into the hunt, I'd have plugged him. I don't bow hunt but if I did... Let arrow fly if there's a good shot opportunity. I will occasionally hunt with pistol. Dead buck with pistol. But I wouldn't bet my luck on a permit hunt to only hunt with pistol.

Dead buck.
