They do show from time to time.  That fifth tine is rare in a tall buck.  I have seen one I thought over 200".  He was with a 140" buck and made him look tiny.  Looked long and hard for those sheds, no luck.  Do you think the 3 point rule has decreased the number of this class?

I think that a three point rule will actually increase the amount of more mature animals that could potentially reach  record book size.

 :yeah: good luck with that buddy  :chuckle:  amazing deer and spectacular mount however

Somebody who admittedly is looking for any legal buck will probably not have a shot at a 130-150" buck very often, let alone a 220"
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

The 4 point rule in 117 and 121 actually keeps alot of guys out of here and in neighboring units where its any whitetail buck.

That being said, I really dont look for there to be more bucks over 150, as many bucks wont even get there in their prime.  Genetics means alot going from 150 to 200in.  We will, if we are lucky, see more 4 1/2 and older bucks. What they carry on their heads will  vary. 

BIg bucks are where you find them, and that doesnt seem to be all in one place.  Especially on public land.

Some of the biggest bucks around are not in the 4 point areas......but the 4pt areas have big bucks too.  I dont think it will mean anything more significant than a better and more thorough breading cycle, as in most does being bred first cycle. 

Even with the hand full of stud whitetails killed by guys on this site, other than the n. e. corner leading the way, where the bucks were killed is widely spread.   

I agree.......you cant kill a 150 if you will shoot the first legal buck you see.

You definitely have to have good genetics on both sides bucks and does. You also have to have food, water and age. Washington could be a premier state.
