Title: Tag filled!
Post by: ouchfoss on December 06, 2010, 06:57:21 PM: I went out this morning with the plan of hunting in the Wynoochie GMU for some elk since its open for cows there but after seeing nothing but brush-pickers everywhere I went and no new sign anywhere I figured I would go try for a deer since the weather was perfect today (windy and rainy). Not too much of a story but I was on my way to a nice clearcut and this doe hopped across the road in front of me. I snuck up and ended up getting a broadside shot from about 5 yards! She went about 80 yards and piled up.
Crappy thing is I was hunting one clearcut for deer this morning and ended up within about 20 yards of a herd of elk with two 4-points in it and that was in the Copalis GMU which you cant hunt for elk in the late. :bash:

Looking forward to some backstraps tomorrow night!

Sorry the pics arent a good quality, my dad loaned out his camera and all I had to take pics with was my video camera. :bash:

Bummer about the elk, but meat it meat.
