230 on the nose

So did you win 1st place at the show?

No, there were two bigger bucks there. The tripod burn buck and an old buck from the 60's from Idaho that got first I think.

The tripod buck was bigger than 230?

Tripod buck went 235, but I know what one I would shoot if they were standing next to each other.

Wow, saw that in person at the show when they were scoring it.  Massive, so impressive, CONGRATS!

Congrats on one hell of a buck!!

Thanks for all the nice comments! When that tripod burn  buck was posted on here, 220-230 was thrown out there, and I'm sure was assumed to be the gross score. Either they were posting a net score, or they just underscored it a bit. A very impressive buck for sure, up close especially. I kind of wanted to get a picture with the guy and his buck there, but there was quite a crowd gathered around him.

Well I'll tell you what Link, even though your buck was not the largest this year, you got a one in a million buck that anyone that hunts deer would be proud of, congrats again!

Hard to believe a 230" buck was not the biggest WA buck this year.

Hard to believe a 230" buck was not the biggest WA buck this year.

That's what I have been thinking.  Same thing happened with rookie quarterbacks in the NFL this year.  Who would have thought three "once in a lifetimes" in the same year.

 Here is an update on my buck. Kind of an interesting piece of information. I just received word on the age of the buck. He was tooth aged at..........4 1/2 years. I knew it wasn't a real old buck, but I didn't expect him to be that young. Pretty amazing that it was only his fourth set of antlers. I don't know, what do you guys think. Do you think he could have kept growing for three, four more years?
