Found a great spot, thanks to some guidance. Saw 11 deer, 9 does and a spike, and one monster 3-point plus that we chased after for a while. We got to the woods at 4:15pm. Not bad for 2.5 hours in the woods.

Even though Hunter had an "any deer" tag, I wouldn't let him drop the hammer on a doe just yet. If I had, we wouldn't have seen that monster. We'll chase him where he lives tomorrow, and then if he doesn't have a buck down by 10am, he can drop a doe.

They took 30 deer out of there today, so traffic should be way down. It was great seeing so many kids out with their dads. The WDFW does do a few things right, these kid's hunts rock.
