Taxidermist said it would scored in the 150's. Than a coffee buddy called to tell me he had a buck in his back yard. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.

In the past 24 hr, I've had full draw on a doe, spike and a forky. Let them all walk. Killed a nice branch when I missed a fox squirrel last night. Save an elk, shoot a cow.

Eric (JustOneGunner) had a doe standing right in front of him broadside yesterday afternoon, but alas no doe tags! We went to check out my first choice for a spot Friday afternoon, and there was a portable stand up in there. He got a buck yesterday about 8 a.m. My second spot yielded a button buck this morning. The guy was a newbie so I helped him gut it and drag it up to the trail head. He is part of a group of 19 that hunt a Potlach lease in there. They were 3 for 19 counting his little nubbie he shot today. Very little shooting. We'll be back at it again next Sunday for one of those lovely "day trips" that leave the house at about 3:30 a.m. to make the woods by first light.

Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young. Calm seas don't make sailors.

One of the fawns busted me or I would have pop the doe. Brent. Have not seen a moose in two years but they are around. Back at it in the morning...

A spike,a fork,a 6 point ,and an 8 point.not too bad for a group of six hunters on first weekend. ********************** [the member formerly known as fluffy}

Different stands. Prior to this hear I've seen two in the woods while hunting since 1991. Camp is where you make it.
