Post by: bobcat on June 09, 2012, 03:52:43 PM: Sure, I can do that. Sorry, I didn't get any pictures in the field, forgot the camera. :bash:

But this is the buck I got in 2008:

Congrats on the tag looks like a great hunt hopefully you get a few pointers on here since you didn't come on looking for a handout like many do this time of year.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on June 11, 2012, 10:24:49 PM: It can be a great hunt! A lot of factors can come into play. Cat pressure plays a lot into it, they move a lot of deer around. If you hunt hard you should be rewarded well.

Post by: Ridgerunner on June 11, 2012, 10:29:15 PM: Looks like a good camp to me, you don't see too many of those anymore with many bucks hanging.

Post by: Ken Miller on June 12, 2012, 12:57:53 AM: I too have been dreaming of this tag for years, with no luck. I always get really excited to find out the results and again this year disappointment. I am very excited for you elkhunter 1 and hope you have a great hunt. Bobcat, that is a really wide buck you took. Scottfrick, that looks like a shot from the old days when you could hunt over Thanksgiving weekend over there and have alot of success. I have hunted there since I was 15 and have seen alot of changes in the unit. If you catch it right, you should have some good luck. I will be there the last week of the general season, hopefully with success.

Ken

Title: Re: Drew Grayback!
Post by: scottfrick on June 12, 2012, 03:10:30 PM: That year in 09 we had a total of 9 bucks hanging in camp all in a week hunting trip. Sure wish every year was like that. all were general season tags.

Post by: elkhunter1 on June 14, 2012, 09:03:04 AM: holy crap! those are some impressive bucks. I plan on scouting as much as possible come august and september, so there's no need for a handout. I'm only 20 yrs old so i better have some free time and energy to be out there scouting and hunting hard. I had ten points when i drew the tag. Been waiting for this tag for awhile now! I do have one question though, what are the breaks? is that the columbia hills?

Post by: scottfrick on June 17, 2012, 08:57:10 PM: Last year was a pretty big disappointment. out hiking we came across 5 or more dead deer carcasses including a few fawns. So not sure what was going on.
