Title: 2010 Whidbey Christmas Buck
Post by: patton1 on December 25, 2010, 10:52:07 PM: Not much to tell. He's the one I've been after and tonight he decided to make a mistake right at last light. Arrow went right through the heart and a lung. Ran about 20 yards and down he went. Meat in the freezer. The wife wasn't overly happy that I went hunting but I guess it was worth it. I had some camera malfunctions so this is all I have for now. I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow. He's not as big as last years but he's a nice island 3x4. Thank you Santa!!!!

Nice deer! So why is Whidbey not a real Island?

It's essentially attached at both ends and is about 35 miles long (168 sq. miles).... A bit of an inside joke with Weathergirl as a friend of hers' husband was saying how horrible it was to grow up on an island when we were looking at moving here (3 1/2 sq. miles) with the kids.

Doesn't take anything away from a really nice deer though, especially this late season as the bucks seem to all be hiding.
