That picture does not do it justice. It's a stud

Smoker buck for sure! I see 190 though. Still a masher buck for WA.

Another pic of his buck!

Good Lord that buck is huge.

Is that the US boundary clearcut?

Edit:  Not insinuating any foul play, just curious.

Power line road with a designer sweat shirt.................some guys got all the luck

edit, No power lines but he is a dual citizen.

This buck was taken by a friend of mine. He sent me a e-mail with picture. Part of what he had to say was" I am proud that no bait was involved getting this buck. He was setting in a place between two bedding areas and near some scrapes. The buck was chasing a doe for 45 minutes around him before he got a shot. The  buck and doe were being chased by another nice buck". He sent the following about the antlers. Width 21 inches, beam length 24 inches, 13 scoreable points, brow tines 8 inches. He is not sure how to score it and has come with gross scores between 188 and 198.  Earlier in the season he rattled in a very tall buck but a spike charged in and spooked it. Glad that happened know.

He is a very competent archery hunter with elk and nice bucks in the past. A few years ago while on his knees rattling he called a cougar into closer than 10 yards. He shot the cougar through the bridge of nose, out throat into chest. He though the cat was going to jump him.

He lives in the Colville area. I don't know where he got the buck, and wouldn't say if I did,  he hunts many areas.

That deer is amazing! I can't wait for all the " official internet picture scorer's" to be proven wrong. How many times do we have to learn you can't score a buck from a picture?

Awesome for the guy who shot that stud!

Definitely the buck of a lifetime.

With most bucks you can get close by using the pictures...seen it time and time again once they were on the ground....but I have also misjudged a few...but not ground shrinkage...more like they were bigger than I thought.

Word on FB is the hunter who scored on this awesome buck is Jim Ebel from Colville, WA. His daughter told us she took the cool picture up by the border. Very happy for the hunter.

Thanks for more details on the story. I would say he is in the right range with 188-198.. I had him around 195 gross from the photos...though it's hard to say without every angle....every score I heard prior to this was 204-208.

What's most impressive is he was able to outdo everybody bait hunting.Big congrats to him.
