Looks like one of the big ones in our area. Big body, with a nice but narrow and not very tall rack for the age. That's a big old deer, a real dandy!

Were you hunting private or public land?

Thanks for all the feed back! I will post more pictures on Monday when I have some more time. For now...

Teacherman: I rattled "blind" once at 9:30am...loud and quick. I waited for about 10 minutes and did it again. I saw a couple does about 5 minutes later and then my buck following the does. They were about 350 yards away and then disappeared into the trees. I thought, "Nothin to loose!" So I rattled again but softer. Five minutes later the buck appeared by himself on the edge of the field. That's when I shot him. No grunt or bleat calling.

I was on public land.

He is by far the biggest bodied deer I have ever shot...but I didn't get him on a scale.

Thanks again. More pics to come.

Oh, does anybody have any guesses on this deer's approximate age? I don't have any idea.

Thanks.

Great job

Nice buck, he has the body of 2 deer . If I were guessing I would say 6.5 years old.

Great looking Whittie. I have seen alot of big Whitetails between guiding and personal hunting, but that by far is probably the fattest i have ever seen. By a long shot. Great looking deer man, that is a buck to be proud of!

That is the FATTEST white tail I have ever seen taken out of WA. Congratulations. That is also awesome that your son got to experience it as well.

Thats the new photography technique......rather than standing eight ft. behind the animal......just send in the kid.

If only that worked for the pack out.......just send in the kid.  Someday, right?

I would say 5.5 or 6.5 years old.  There are some big ones up there.
