Tripod's a pretty big burn, Hillbilly, goes all the way from Loup Loup to within a half mile of Canada. I'm not looking for his spot, I'm looking for his story.

I just saw this buck in person at the taxidermist, It's even more amazing than the pic's.

That width, mass and extra he will gross over the magic number. Unheard of for general season washington by a guy who's never killed a buck.

Wow. That buck has everything.  The guy that killed it better start golfing.  He will be disspointed with hunting for the rest of his life.  Wow.

The guy is friends with the taxidermist I went to so I'll try to get a hold of him. I told the taxidermist about this site, he'd never been on before but he will be soon. I'm sure we can get the shooter on to tell his story soon. Here's what I know. The guy was hunting with his 12 y.o. son at about 6000 ft when the son see's the buck and say's dad there's a huge buck! I think he said it was about 75 yards away and thrashing a tree. They take a knee and the father said for his kid to take the shot but he's all over the place and can't get steady. All of a sudden the guy feels the wind at his back and the buck throws up his head and stares at them so the dad shoots. Dead mega buck! Taxidermist say's it may break the state record of 224 I think. He thinks it'll 230! regardless it's a pig!
