November 9th.
Got my first mule deer this year during the general season. A friend came through and helped me out tremendously with everything from spotting, helping with stalking, ranging, field dressing (gutless) and packing out four bone in quarters himself...it was a six hour spot and stalk before any of the post shot work began. Getting a mule deer was really cool, even cooler was being taught how to spot and stalk in that type of landscape.

Old news to some but I figured I would share anyways. Got this buck on the last day of general season rifle. 2024 OTC WA Buck.I have a lot of thank yous to mention with this buck. This buck was the outcome of applying a lot of hard work, determination, knowledge learned through experience and others, and eventually God blessing me with an opportunity at the only buck I wanted this year. This buck may not break 200”, but I don’t care at all. His unique rack and nearly unhuntable habitat and ghostly habits will forever have a place in my heart. From the moment I got the first trail cam pic of him this year on May 20, I knew he was going to be a target, but little did I know he was going to turn into, in my opinion, one of the baddest bucks in the state. I had 11 cameras out for this buck, and he only ever showed up on 1 of them, and only 4x in a 5 month period. Only to be killed 50yds from a camera he was never on and 150yds from the only camera he was ever on. Standing 32yds from this buck while still hunting the deadfall ridden thick timber was a dream come true and I couldn’t be more thrilled about how it went down. Now, my thank yous…1. I want to thank God for the ability and opportunity to be able to find and harvest this incredible animal in His creation. 2. Waylon for going up the mountain with me and sharing this incredible experience with me. Sharing jokes, taking pictures, and making quick work of the processing/pack out.3. Gunner Graves, Bryce Boswell and Chris Naff for hunting and scouting with me and encouraging me to not give up on this buck.4. Dioni and Martin for helping me strategize on how to pattern and locate this buck and get the job done. 5. @robbydenning and @ntrlbrnhunter for putting out so much valuable information on the @rokcastpodcastFor those that care, this buck rough scores at 190”.
