Thanksgiving Day Buck
 

I wish I could draw a Washington late mule deer tag every year. It made for a memorable Thanksgiving. It was just too hard to pass up on opening morning. I even made it home in time for Turkey. :)

Nice buck, how wide is it, i know one guy who got a 23" 4pt turkeyday also. My brother in law is out with his friend who has a tag on the firing center also, he missed a 24" 3x4 on turkey day, they were heading back out today to find another one. How many deer did you see, did you see any other dead ones in the back of trucks.

I just saw that buck and 9 does opening morning but I shot that one an hour and 5 minutes into the season. the last two full days of scouting I saw 49 does and 8 bucks one day and 28 does and 11 bucks the other. I went out the day before season for a couple hours in the morning and saw a few does, this buck and another about the same size (24" ). I talked to a couple other guys with a nice 4x4 about 26" and they had seen two other deer taken a small 4x4 and a 2x2. There wasn' t as much shooting opening day as I expected, everyone must be holding out for the big one.

Have 2 Hunt, one of my buddies here in yakima said he talked to you the day you shot your buck, I was telling him about a buck i seen in the internet and the guy was from satsop and he said ya i talk to that guy. Small world.

kirkl, no kidding was he one of the 2 guys I talked to at the store that had a nice buck also?

RE: Thanksgiving Day Buck
 

That is a nice buck. I have never shot a mule deer before, with horns like that I bet the ol'heart starts pounding. Someday I will half to try it out but I love hunting blacktail deer so much that I just cant get my self to go over there. I guess I need to go out of state or put in for some special tags.[8D]

RE: Thanksgiving Day Buck
 

Im not sure where he said he talked to ya, he just said he did. He didnt have a buck tag this year but one of his buddies might have, he had a ML bull tag out there and shot a 6x6 with a eyeguard stuck in his forhead that had broke off another bull from fighting, looked like a unicorn.

I looked at the stats for that area today and out of the 77 tags for the area there were only 2 bucks taken that were definatly bigger and 7 that were comprable, so I feel like I did good pulling the trigger. That makes me happy after setteling for a "meat buck" in Idaho after a week of hunting. My big fear for that hunt was not being pickey enough and not making the best use of the tag.

WaBlacktailHunter, I see you live just down the road and are a quad enthusiast. Do you ride the North Elma area? Drop me an E-Mail some time and we'll hit the trails. We may ride from my house to Lake Nehwatzel this Saturday For some bloody Mary's, never a bad trip.:)
