Title: measure this
Post by: boneaddict on May 11, 2008, 10:44:46 AM: The easiest way to field judge a mule deer is to sneek up behind them with your official Pope and Young measuring tape. I hope to see this buck when I take the winner of the auction over.

Nice rainy days when you can get a picture to turn out worth beans, you see all the bucks. The nice bluebird days they are all bedded by 10 am......good luck.

Post by: boneaddict on May 11, 2008, 10:58:03 AM: I saved almost all of them all for you. I never made it over with Miles. Everytime I drove over there is snowed 6-9 inches the night before or while I was there. Talk about gas prices. I was desperate this spring but my timing couldn't be worse. I was thinking about trying one more day, just in time for the ticks, but I'm not sure I want to with prices now 10 cents short of 4 bucks per gallon. OUCH!

I have a couple pics of him on here already, but just going through old files and playing with those I hadn't posted yet.(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv47%2Fboneaddict%2Fbucks2%2Fmeasure1.jpg&hash=867f23a5dd5e053a1dd593e82892742fb8bddb56)

Post by: boneaddict on May 11, 2008, 12:27:50 PM: Then this guy was just up the hill....like 30 yards

Both were visible at the same time. I was in heaven. Sorry if the pics look like they have been on here before. I took a whole bunch and have posted a few.

Post by: elkaholic on May 15, 2008, 08:48:30 AM: Bone, is that a wa mule or Id? I am off work for the next 10 days but i keep looking at the V10 and really not looking fwd to filling her up. I wish i would have filled it up in December when i left. Snow is starting to melt good over here now, have you been over this way lately?

Post by: boneaddict on May 15, 2008, 08:52:12 AM: Thats a Washington buck, or both are I guess since they were standing next to each other.

I hear you. I could be headed to the woods tonight, stay out under the stars and shed hunt this evening and all day tomorrow, but NOPE, I think I'll save my gas money for this fall when it really counts. Time to focus on my garden.
