I think the 2 biggest we've seen on here from Washington are Link's 230 buck from 2012 and the Tripod buck which was right around there but not quite. Maybe it was 220??

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

one of the three closest three points I thought was a "class deer" at least.

Here is one. This guy was about 27 inches wide or so and had about 5" eyeguards as best as I could figure through the spotting scope. Those things were rediculous. I figured him at around 181. His back forks on his right side were sooo deep, left side wasn't quite as deep but still decent. If he doesn't net 180+ he was sure flirting with the idea.

Sfrenger, unfortunately someone already beat us to that one:-(. That is a calendar pic created using the rack of the mundy buck which measured 49" wide!!!  We can only hope he has some lingering genetics still out there.  I think about that buck Everytime I climb a steep ridge, or walk a couple extra miles, etc.  Just knowing that bucks of that caliber exist is all the motivation I need:-). Good luck in the entiat, I hope to see a write up and a nice pic later this fall!

Well, I have a dandy of a whitetail on one of my cameras. He's related to a buck that i've been hunting for going on 4 or 5 years now. Slippery little punk. I think I have a pic. hang on, K, here they are. If I haven't connected I might have to come back the last couple days of the mule deer season and see if I can't get this big boy.

Old news, but this was a buck I took a few years ago in Colorado.  Grossed a hair over 180 when Charlie scored him.  Don't know/care much about scores, but I understand it's generally tough for a buck to make that with just a 3 points on a side.
