Final day of open Season
11/09/2009
Wooldridge Boat’s Vence Malernee, wife Pat and son Paul hunted Muleys in the deep Canyon country of the Almota unit near Pullman and brought home the venison, including this 3 x 4. Paul was all smiles after pulling his buck out of a deep canyon (with the help of Rick and Mickey Finch).

He bagged the buck on the last day of the season with a long shot from his Remington Model 721 270 Winchester (handed down from his grandmother). Malernee handloads the .270 with Barnes 130 grain TTSX bullets. Pat got a 3 x 3 and senior member of the party, Vence, passed up a couple of legal bucks looking for a hatrack. (Finch Ranch photo)
