Success!
« on: October 20, 2020, 06:34:50 PM »
My 2020 buck isnt a "trophy" to rack hunters but I'm not eating tag soup so I'm happy. This was my first year really hunting in the timber for deer, quite different to a guy used to hunting the wide open deserts of eastern Washington! Anyhow, I bumped into this fella while he was palling around with a 2x2 and a few doe. For once the wind was in my favor and even though I was spotted they didnt spook. Took my first clean shot and he dropped on the spot.
Anyway, good luck to everyone still hunting!

Congrats! Pretty sure that’s a trophy in any blacktail hunter’s eyes. Beautiful mature buck!

Did you have a "once in a lifetime hunt (you will never be able to duplicate)?
Did you enjoy the people you were with?
Did you love the hunt?

Any of these make it a "Trophy" in my book, congratulations!  :hello:

Thanks fellas!
I had a great hunt and would gladly take the same animal again. Any deer I take is a trophy to me, I just meant he wasnt that gig in the antler department. I still might do a euro mount as he ended a several year dry spell for me. I'm proud to have meet in the freezer.

That’s a nice looking deer.
No apologies needed.
A trophy is relative to the owner.
Be very proud!
