A hunter-gatherer society is one whose primary subsistence method involves the direct procurement of edible plants and animals from the wild, foraging and hunting without significant recourse to the domestication of either. Hunter-gatherers obtain most from gathering rather than hunting; up to 80% of the food is obtained by gathering

Same hunting party but I went to the eastside and shot this muley buck. Another great year so far,,,now if I can get a ML Elk....

Nice buck, bro!

That is a nice buck. Look at the neck on that thing. I shot a similar buck a few years ago that was a 3x1 but had the same body.
That's a lot of steaks.

Ya it was a biggun...easy drag to the bed of the truck though...being it was a neck shot I really didnt lose much meat!!!

Pretty cool horns nice and tall

Mine was a neck shot as well but we had to pack it out on the horses.
Very cool you got a big bodied one. Those wheat fed bucks eat up good too.

They were in rut HARD, Coyotes have a realllly thick coat already to, the land owner says it looks to be a early winter and a bad one from what he has seen in years past!

COOL! Low snow early means muley antlers for Thanksgiving.

From my obeservations the Coyotes do have a great coat and the Muley's are swollen and rubbin'. We got a 5X5 a week and half ago that had his antlers full of bark.....the saplings show that he ain't alone. This year reminds me of the Deer season in '96/'97 when we had another big snow and heavy winter kill.

Nice buck btw.

Nice report GvD

I'll second the fact that it very well could be a wild winter.....

My buck had more fat on it than any of the deer I've killed in the past and I've hunted that same area for 9 years now...

I'm hoping we get dumped on, makes for some killer duck hunting and winter steelhead fishing!

I'm headed back up in the woods Sunday eve to try and help a friend fill his Rifle Cow Tag for the Lewis River unit. We'll be at it hard for Monday and Tuesday. I'm hoping to see a bear because I'll pop his ass and go for the grand slam with a cougar.....
