I think my senses just got overloaded.   That was borderline mean Rob.  LOL
Any doubt that either of these hit 200"? :chuckle: Don't put up the other pic, thats just cruel. :chuckle:

Are we talking the same pic?  2003?
I think he is talking about the 200" archery buck :rolleyes: from last month.

Whats the storey on the second deer in the pic? Is there another pic we haven't seen? :dunno:
Story is, her and her husband got off to a late start that morning, started their drive into the hills when she said "stop, there's a buck" He stopped, she jumped out and as he was saying "make sure its le"..........pow. He hadn't seen it before she shot, right place right time. How many guys drove past that buck that morning in the dark heading to their spots. :chuckle:

Phool is correct, I was talking aobut the "New state record".


I couldn't find the pics of the earlier buck.   Its pre computer/digital for me.   Next thought was it seems like it made it to a magazine, I was going to look for it next.   If I reember correctly it had more mass than this guy.   Its been awhile.  That thing damn near made me ill to look at.

Yes it did and it does have more mass.  I have a few pics.  I'll try to dig one up.

The monster muley was one of the last of 49 deer recorded by WDFW biologists Scott Fitkin and Jeff Heinlein as they checked 253 hunters during both weekends of the modern firearm season that ended Sunday (Oct. 21).

“One of the last deer we checked for the season turned out to be a very large 9x10 point mule deer with a 33-plus-inch antler width,” Fitkin said. “This is likely the largest set of antlers seen at the check station in at least the last 17 years.”

Fitkin added that the “lucky hunter harvested the estimated 4-1/2-year-old animal in the Tripod Burn area which appears to be producing excellent summer deer forage six years after the fire.”
