Well... I can post these pictures now that the buck is dead. A friend of mine hunted this public land/big woods/mountain WA buck for the past 3 years. He was at the local sportsman's show this past weekend and saw it hanging on the wall.
Gundog.. I tend to agree with you. I personally do not plan to lease but I can't fault a person who works hard and uses that money to enjoy what little free time they have. Land leasing for the purpose of hunting is all part of free market capitalism and thus I support it completely. I do think...
I mentioned this earlier but it's lost in the thread by now.. I am currently living in Germany. I am still a WA resident and even have my entire hunting setup, truck and all.. in storage back in WA.
If I lived there currently I would certainly entertain that... in fact I could help a guy out...
Thank you. Regarding tag draw...It really depends on what you want to go after. Moose/Goat/Sheep can be tough and they are once in a lifetime draws but it's certainly possible to draw a Moose at some point. Quality Elk is tough too but honestly you can get on big elk in any elk areas.... There...
:D
Can you clarify why?
Like I said it's not all about the whitetail...Des Moines has a lot more opportunity for my kids and if you draw a 5-6 hour circle around Des Moines there is tons of opportunity for the kids future.. and WA isn't really my home... just the closest thing I have to a...
Here is a video of a friend of mine shooting a velvet 150 class buck in WA a few years ago.. It's self filmed/self edited but I think it's very watchable compared to most self-filmed stuff I see... (including my own unfortunately).

Every once in awhile these guys will show up on your whitetail cam..especially when you are hunting high but also in other areas that have decent populations. This is in a spot where I was hunting a whitetail at 5K feet.
Not my pic... a friend of mine and a guy I don't know... these are different bucks over 100 miles apart.. one of them is definitely public land (my friends) not sure on the other... Sorry I don't have higher quality pics.
Sheds from the Rez. These went 217 (I can't remember if that was gross/net and/or with/without spread credit). I got a chance to hold these and I will say these pics don't do them justice... giant.... and found in a big woods area of the Rez away from agriculture.
A buck taken on the Reservation... scored 210 (can't remember if that was gross or net). There is some agriculture on the Rez but a lot of the Rez is similar terrain to what you would find on the Public Lands surrounding it.
Sheds of a WA buck owned by a reputable WA outfitter. I am not sure if these were public/private but I do know there is public state land in and around his guide area (never hunted his area of the county personally).
