I thaught it was pretty good , I bought a couple hundred bucks worth of goddies , a sling , fire starter , pure energy bands and put some money down on some land pending inspection . oh yeah the scones rocked !

[TheHunt]

There was some very nice racks up there today... 

[Ridgerunner]

The heads and horns was very good not too often do you see two b&c non typical muleys from Washington.  Some great trophies were there for sure.

James' Archery Goat (1st overall) and my Cascade Roosevelt Archery (3rd Overall).  It was his idea to wear those ribbons    I also feel like a giant after walking around with James Petker, Jon Gabrio and Trevor Kaech all day.  Met a lot of great people from the site.

Phelps, that is one very impressive set of horns. Was hoping to run into more guys from the forums but don't know the faces well enough just yet. Almost pulled the trigger on the scones. Have been trying to cut more carbs out of my diet but its like a bartender trying not to drink.

[Smossy]

Seen those horns man, Impressive. Couldnt imagine something that big walking through the woods.
Absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on some real hunting experience.
Your inspiring man keep up the great work!

Thats to everyone on here who has success! You are totally my modivation to see so many successful hunters in the state. Love washington.

Man it was a great show. Probably met 40-50 new people. Yet I see 20+ people that came to the show but I did not get to meet. Some are way to cool for me I know Still nice to meet some new people and old friends.

I was right across from glen berry and got to talk a good bit with him. Lots of people going to new zealand now

 The Head and Horns ended with me getting my bear in at 21 5/16 for 1st place. Pretty humbling considering how many people put animals into this. Some of those racks were incredible; I can only dream of getting lucky enough (after a lot of hard work) to get a chance at one of those some day. The pics of the bear are under 'Bear Down' in the bear hunting section.

Just curious, I didn't get my antlers back from the tax in time for the show.   Is there a WA contest that I can still enter them in elsewhere?  If I don't make it to a show, can I still enter them next year in Puyallup for a prize?  Did the first place guys at Puyallup win anything cool?

I think you should be able to enter it next year. The first place mule deer (260's)was from the 60's i believe. Not too sure of the rules.
Oh and by the way, for anyone interested, that tripod burn buck netted over 235"!!

Wowzers.  I saw them scoring the tripod buck, and it was really impressive in person.  Inredible frame, and love the soot from the burn.  Pretty sure that 60's buck was there too, sitting in the back - probably 35" or so with lots of junk?  Full mount? 

Link, loved seeing your buck in person.  The mass on that thing is just awesome.   

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

I new we should have gone! I didnt know the TRIPOD buck would be there! Hope a HW member got better details on location and huntin tactics to post here to help out the community on this years hunt at the BURN!

[wildweeds]

I sure hope those goat horns are just on that board for that show thing would be a shame not to have a 1/4 life size done IMO.


I should poke and prod my uncles to get their uncles(my great uncle) buck off the wall and have it scored,he shot it in the 60's and the spread is 44 if I remember right(it hit both bedrails of a jeep pickup) and is 36 or so tall,shot it at curlew on his first ever deer hunt and never hunted deer again,never scored either.Uncle Robert passed away last summer.
