Saturday was the archery opener in Washington state and I was able to make it out for my favorite type of hunting - alpine blacktails.
In total we saw 8 different bucks and I was able to get within 20 yards of 3 of them (12 yards from a 3x3 with eyeguards) and 53 yards of a nice 4x4 with eyeguards. Unfortunately, I was either unable to draw back on on open deer without spooking them, or I was drawn back but had no ethical shot on the deer.
Thought you might enjoy seeing some of the pics we got of the bucks.
I stalked up on this guy while he was bedded. I was within 40 yards but couldn't see him and he ended up spooking. I had him walk through an opening at 53 yards but I wasn't prepared to shoot.
