I don’t call it wasting points for any deer hunt In WA. It’s my resident state and cost me a couple dollars a year to apply. I’m hunting general mule deer in October already , but now I get to go out in November with 18 other hunters there’s a quality experience right there :chuckle:.  Not holding out for a 180”  buck .I’m looking for a mature buck and if it’s a big 3 or 3x2 so be it, I will hunt my ass off as I’ll will be there for almost all season depending on ID’s draw results.

Also with the Whitetails it better friggin big like 170 plus to get me excited about shooting one. I started this endeavor of mine to kill a big Muley a few years ago and have given up whitetail hunting till I kill a giant.

Hunting the rut is fun.  Period.  You could see a giant any minute and the opportunity to hunt during that time is awesome.

I’ve got someone very knowledgeable with unit helping me and has sent me various trailcam pics of bucks that were alive this year that I’d have 0 problem shooting. Plus 5 very big bucks all bigger than anything I’ve killed.

Something about there every weekend and not wanting the premium tag in the unit doesn't add up for me but I'm slow like that.

Have a great time.

I have two friends that drew the Alta tag.  They will be over there from the 8th on or until they fill their tags.  Should be some nice ones in that unit.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
