I came back to central washington for a few days last week. I had a few mornings to kill so I decided to buy a deer tag. I have a friend, who is a fishing guide, that had seen a bunch of deer along the upper yakima river. We decided to float the river and see if you could get me a deer. We floated the river three mornings. I had many opportunities but could not connect. I was borrowing my dad's bow since mine is in Alaska. Finally after missing a few shots I got my dads bow sighted in for me. THe morning that I was supposed to fly out, myself and two of my best friends floated one last time. Of course we weren't seeing the deer that we had the first two mornings. About three quarters of the way through the float we spotted a doe feeding along the river. We floated down to her. She just watched us like we were another flyfisherman. We got withing 15 yards of her and I took the shot. She went about a hundred yards and was dead. She may not have any head gear but the stories from those three days are the real trophies. I will post pics once I get them from my buddies.
