Hey guys! I was stuck at the office for opening day of general deer here in WA but luckily my best friend was willing and able to take my son out. They left Friday after school and the plan was for them to hunt Saturday and then I would meet them Sunday morning. My son had a general deer tag and also a 2nd deer tag good for any doe.
Saturday morning Rob and Dylan hiked up to a favorite glassing point and were able to spot a bedded whitetail buck about 1000 yards out. They got it in the spotting scope and verified it was legal, then made a plan to get closer. They backed off the hill they were sitting on and used a hill between them and the buck for cover. After getting just under 500 yards away they had to crawl for the next 100 or so yards to get to a spot my son could lay down and shoot without the tall grass getting in the way.
At 365 yards they had a good spot that cleared the grass. Rob ranged the buck and dialed his 300WM. Dylan made a great shot right through the vitals and the buck never stood up.
