Yep on the run too. Only thing that sucked is it shattered the skull and hid horns where barely attached.

My 8 year old daughter's 1st buck. She did a awesome job on a 3/4 mile stock in the rain to beat the clock and she had to shoot standing...heart shot at 50 yards!

Very cool what caliber? My daughters love hunting, oldest will be 7 in January and I'm wanting to get her a rifle. Been thinking a compact Ruger M77 16.5" barrel in 243 with Sims recoil pad and 3-9 Leupold 

My son killed his first deer this week with that exact rifle (vx2 2-7).  I loaded up some handloads with Trail Boss for him to practice with and he loves shooting it.  Its a neat little gun!  BTW, he just turned nine a couple weeks ago.

Why put down your own buck, especially when its a dandy washington buck

Agreed. You don't get cool points for telling everyone it's "a little buck" or a "dink" when it's obviously a good buck. Just present it as is. Most guys, including me, would be very happy with that buck.

I don't think he is putting the buck down and certainly not looking for cool points  The fact of the matter is its in the 130-140 range of mule deer which is not all that big ...    I have a feeling when he gets back from Idaho you'll see just how little this WA buck is!

BTW the reference to my buck as a "dink" was an inside joke to one of the mods about a past thread more than anything and not meant to offend anyone. As you can see from my avatar or if you have seen my past pics I make no bones about it I try and shoot the largest deer I can find ... Reality is my WA buck this year is probably 30+ inches smaller than my largest buck which does make it a dink but I still like him!
