I killed a 3x2 this evening in 654 that was tearing up a scotch broom plant, neck not swollen and rear leg glands just starting to darken.

I stopped for a doe and fawn that were crossing the road out near Lacey on Tuesday afternoon.  They crossed the road without issue, but from the brush came a huge 3 point running full tilt in front of me, straight into the side of the car that had stopped in the oncoming lane.  He hit the car's driver door head first at full speed and laid himself out on the ground before bounding off no worse for wear.  One of the weirder things I've seen a deer do.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

Saw a 3x2 yesterday across from Marysville Cabelas standing 10 yards behind a doe while she ate. He looked like he was just following her and waiting

Had a huge 3 point cruise across our property around 6PM last night.  Looked like he was on a mission.  No other deer in sight and nothing pushing him.
