Who's Got Deer?

[dreadi]

If you follow me outside of WAGuns you know that I've been a hunting fool since August 1st. WAJim has more colorful way of describing my frequency and I'll leave that for him to explain. So far this year I have not passed up any opportunity to get out and I have done a megaton of hiking, camping, driving, calling, glassing, everything. I passed on a buck that I believed to be out of range during late modern. Besides that, it's been a lot of does during mule deer 3pt minimum season and a lot of other deer out of range or spooked on the stalk. So here it is, December 20th and there's 10 days left in deer season and I haven't notched my tag yet. My question is, "Who's got deer?" If you know that you have deer on your property and they are active during hunting hours, I'd appreciate a shout and permission to hunt.

Coooold blooded.
Is it possible to undo a trigger job?

I gace up. I suppose I should still be trying, but hunting Blacktail is not my idea of a good time.

Deer are in town. They aren't idiots. For the most part.

I feel you. It's just the same as asking, "Hey, you want to go hang outside? It's going to be cold, blowy, and rainy all day."

I wonder if Point Defiance is considered legal to hunt.

You mean 10 days of archery deer season? [1]
And further more restricted: Black tailed in GMUs 407, 410-417, 419-422, 454, 505, 564a*, 624, 627, 636, 648, 652, 654, 655, 660-672 up to Dec 31.

So, just double checking that you guys aren't getting in trouble using "modern firearms" at this time or next 10 days.

I wish more hunters had this responsible attitude in the woods. In today’s world of Creedmoor this and Nosler that “flat to 415” I see way too many shots taken outside of the hunter’s ability level.

I hope your good karma nets some meat in the freezer soon.

Unfortunately I don’t have an area in mind directly. :(

From a dead steady rest I can hit a kill zone sized target at 400yds repeatedly when I'm nice and calm, get some elk/buck fever and a 20lb pack after hiking 1800' up to a ridge, well I just don't know. Perhaps I'll train for that next year. yeah right. I do take a few practice shots every year with sun in my eyes and ghosting into the scope.

Thank you. I took the day off and spent it with the YL. Today was a good day.
