Biggest of the year 2012

[Kazekurt]

I'm certain Link's 243" monster takes it for mule deer but what is the highest gross score reported on the forum for whitetail and blacktail?  I'm primarily talking Washington but if you're a board regular that got one somewhere else we could start an out of state thread aswell. 

[steeliedrew]

what about that behemoth mulie taken from the tripod burn area this year?

[Kazekurt]

The tripod buck is a wider buck but doesn't carry the mass of link's buck and may have less scorable points.  I believe it was Around 230.  I love spread;  if I saw them side by side and had to shoot fast I'd probably shoot the tripod buck. However, if I really had time to analyse the deer and contemplate the mass and character on Link's buck I'd probably talk myself into it.  Would certainly be a nice problem to have:-)

That link buck, takes the cake...

[steeliedrew]

can someone post a side by side of link's and the tripod?  I don't recall seeing Link's Mulie. Sounds like a beast.

Tripod buck is on page 3 of the hw 2012 thread

[steeliedrew]

ok, now I remember seeing link's. it is an incredible buck! WA buck of a lifetime I'd say. I do love the width of the tripod buck though.

The Typical Archery buck was a pretty good buck too if you guys are thinking of contests versus weapons and typ versus non typ.

Has anyone got a 200" whitetail?  My dad used to live in Kansas and he got to see a few there but I think it's pretty rare in WA.  My taxidermist got one awhile back that he said was 211 gross so I know it's possible.  Or perhaps a 160+ blacktail?

[steeliedrew]

I know it's Oregon but did anyone see the blacktail that Cameron Haynes stuck this year? MASHER!

Links looks like Desert Unit???
Tripod buck was taken in the Pogue above Concunully. My family owns the Shady Pines Resort in Conc. Check out their website and book a spot for next year. You can drive right out of the resort up into the Tri Pod burn area to hunt. My family has harvested some really nice bucks out of there over the years.

I know of one confirmed 200 inch whitetail killed in the 2011 season..because I was hunting him..but not the one that killed him.

The biggest whitetail I have seen killed this year was the Glen Berry buck. There was also some photos posted of a nice one that apparently came from the Colville area.

[Kazekurt]

DBH, cool!  It's good to know 200" are out there!  At least we know Everytime we go out that there is a chance.

Hey DB, where can I see pics of the Glen Berrys buck?

[JPhelps]

I believe Gonia's Blacktail is the biggest I have seen and Glen Berry's whitetail are the largest I have seen.

Thanks, that is an awesome whitetail.

[BOWHUNTER45]

Man ...all nice bucks but Berrys is a monster whitetail ..his son Chad is sticking some giants too !!

[buck man]

Here is a 214" buck killed in Stevens county in 2010. My son is holding it. My friend is the one who shot it.

[deaner]

wow?

[deaner]

at least tell people its from dayton or something.  dont need more people runnin round stevens

[Kazekurt]

Wow!  It takes a special whitetail to get a mule deer fanatic like me to take the shot but that one would definitely do it!  There is no way I could walk away from that one on my way up the mountain:-). I've thought about that a lot in Montana as I almost always see whitetail on my way up but so far nothing big enough to lure me into burning my tag.

Here are a few more pics of the whitetail buck my Dad, Glen Berry shot in Washington this year.  It will gross score right at 185".  It has 18 scoreable points with 25" of abnormal points.  It has an inside spread of 18 2/8" and an outside spread of 22 4/8".  These high mountain whitetails are a true trophy and don't come easily.  Dad hunted this buck for 3 seasons before getting a shot.  Good huntin' to everyone in 2013, Chad Berry

Awesome buck

[Hoythunter]

Chad,

I live, breathe, and dream of whitetail mashers - just like this one.  I sit 30 plus days in a stand year in and year out so I too have a true appreciation of what it takes to connect with a whitey of this magnitude.  Congrats to all involved.

[boneaddict]

THanks for sharing those Chad.  A very nice deer, and tenfold about what you said about those mountain deer.   Thats awesome

[Lyle Galloway]

Where did this buck come from?

[hogsniper]

Awesome bucks for sure!  Someday ill go chase them ol brush bunny's around!   Congrats on a couple Amazing trophys!

[huntnnw]

THESE are not brushbunnies   most of these giants are running around in mule deer country with mule deer

Lot of truth to that. Biggest bucks we kill year end and year out are at ........ In elevation .   even with the snow.

Awesome first post.

Good hunting buddy of mine who is a biologist for WDFW has a close hunting partner and friend that shot a monster muley in eastern Washington on the last day of late Muzzleloader season.  He knew the shot was good but couldn't find the buck.  He spent the next week hiking in a mile and a half each way to look for the deer.  He found the buck a week later only 300 yards from were he shot it but in a different area than he thought the deer went.  The carcass  was no good but he shot one of the top 10 deer ever taken in the state or so the guys in the office at WDFW think.  Green scores well over 200 and is very wide with deep forks.  Anytime you get that wavey look on your tines you know they are long.  Still waiting to get the final score on the buck.
