Rick's Buck

Name:Rick Briola
Date of Kill: 30 Oct 2010
Time of Kill: 845
State: Washington
Location: Pierce
Kill Type:Blacktail

  Finally had the oppurtunity to hunt after returning from Afghanistan, me and my
buddy planned this trip for a long time so we hunted in Ft. Lewis. After conducting
an area recon, and saw only tracks I proceeded down to an area I originally wanted
to hunt when I spotted 2 does grazing in the open. Using the brush to cover my
movement at around 400 meters, I closed the gap to 300. Confirming they were does
through my binos I notice the does were constantly looking to the edge of the
woodline when I looked through my binos to see what they were looking at I saw
another deer figure approaching the does.Once I crept up to close the gap between me
and the approaching deer, I took another glance and saw his impressive rack, I was
now 200 meters from the trio, I aimed at the buck but I had a doe blocking my shot.
Once the doe moved I had a nice broad shot, I took the shot and the buck did a 360
degree turn and down he went.

Blacktail Deer

NameJohn Lundby (MMK Prostaff)
State:Washington
Location Details:  Olympic National Park- Hurricane Ridge
Kill Type:Trail Pictures/ Black Tail Deer

 Went on an old nature hike in Western WA in Olympic National Park at
Hurricane Ridge.  Late August was a great time to be there as the weather
was optimal.  Gotta laugh when you’re in a protected habitat at how the
wildlife could care less that you are five feet from them. However it is
really sad when a hiker was killed near Hurricane Ridge last month by an
aggressive mountain goat that had a pattern of bad behavior and was only
being tracked by the DNR instead of being “taken care of”…  More to come
MMK.com, I want to put WA state on the map
