My bear from this year

And my bear. Funny thing is he was originally laying about like this, and then a few minutes later I hear something and look up and he's barrel rolling 50 or 60 feet down the hill and ends up like this again.

Hope this wasn't supposed to be deer only pics in this thread.

SILKONTHEDRYSIDE,
That is a great buck congrats!!! I know you were hunting in August but I have seen several "cactus bucks" on Kodiak that never get hard horned. One of my group shot one on one of our late September hunts and he had testicles the size of a cashew. His hair was also different from the other hard horned bucks we killed. Did you notice anything different about your buck? Just curious. Again, Great Buck !! I hope you are enjoying some of the best deer meat in the world!!

Story on my elk hunt in elk forum

Idaho buck died in his bed, shot at 430 yards
-
PathfinderJR's Wyoming Antelope

What did you shoot that antelope with
Nice goat
-
What did you shoot that antelope with
Nice goat
7mm Rem Mag, 168 Gr Berger VLDs. DRT on impact. Hit the ground twitched twice and he was done. Both boys hit their goats in the spine, they died in their tracks about 5 seconds apart. The farmer was watching, said he didn't think he'd ever seen two antelope die that quickly before...
-
Little Pathfinder's 2020 WA buck. His longest shot yet. 355 yards, broke both shoulders and clipped the spine. DRT. I actually saw him drop before we heard the bullet hit. :)

My first buck ever after 4 years of hunting. Shot with the rifle my dad bought when he was sick, he passed away before he could ever use it. Field dressed and skinned with knives dad made. Miss him, been 2 years since he passed away now. Between losing him and mom 6 months later, I think that's part of why my last few seasons didn't get me anywhere. Grief is as tough as any Blacktail hunt.

Excellent deer, heavy post, thank you for sharing it all.

That's a good blacktail Screed. Hoping for a lot more great memories for you ahead with that equipment.

Tough losing your pop and mentor. I recently lost mine also. Its so rewarding using his gear, especially his old stuff " 30/40 Craig, Morseth knife" etc. keeps him with you on your hunts
Nice Buck too
-
Screedler, that's a great post! An awesome tribute to your dad. I just lost my mom to a 5 yr battle with cancer on Thursday. And I was exposed to covid on Wednesday afternoon. I obviously missed out on deer hunting this weekend. Been super rough not being at our cabin with family. Luckily i got my wife and two kids quarantined with me. At any rate thanks for the post. Picked me up a little bit this am!

This morning's buck, getting pretty rutty.

How high is the snow in eastern Washington

How high is the snow in eastern Washington
The snow was down below 2,000' on Friday night and Saturday, then started to melt up the hill on Sunday. On Monday, it was still well below freezing up high so the snow was still light and fluffy, but that started to melt in the direct sun by Monday afternoon. Imagine by Tuesday everything in the sun was crunchy. But above 3500' or so, still lots of snow.

not the biggest, but my 80 YO dad got it done today!

Censored gut spill from poor shot. (First time shooting freehand, first time shooting for treestand)

Didn't get a multi season tag this year, so I was stuck with my rifle tag. Ended up working out on the second day of the season in a new spot.

I was super happy with him. My best buck score wise and more importantly one of the oldest I've harvested. I am going to send his teeth in to have him aged. He was a smart old buck, spent very little time in the open.
