Colville Buck

[ironhead14]

Sent to me by a friend.  Said it was from Notellum Mountain in the Colville area.

[coachcw]

I saw that buck like 12 years ago when he was just a spiker 

[jackmaster]

holy eye guards 

[coachcw]

I think those droppers are so he can laydown without tipping over !

[boneaddict]

Its funny you joke about 12 years ago, as I saw a buck much like that about 15 years ago also in the Colville.   He was a bit bigger, and both mains were the ones that dropped like this one.   He is the one that caused the big bloody fight scene I posted on here a couple years ago.   That's the closest likeness I have seen of him.   Thank you for sharing.

dumb question here being from the wetside and only know blacktail, is that a whitetail or muley? he seems to have one main beam but it forks at the end. i would imagine its a huge buck for either muley or whitey    stud none the less

[jackelope]

Whitetail with kickstands.

[jackmaster]

Whitetail with kickstands.

thank you, i would imagine he would be close to a state record

He's have a huge gross score but I don't think he'd net very well. We've got some giant whitetails in this state but don't tell anyone.

An extrememly nice whitetail.   He is a trophy to almost all but the scorebook.   His uniqueness is second to none, he is a mature whitetail buck.   He lacks tine length(except his eyeguards) and symmetry, but holy moly, what a deer.

looks kinda like these sheds.

[jackmaster]

i have to say that has to be one of the cool parts about living in that neck of the woods, you guys have whitetail, muleys, elk , moose and who knows what, we have blacktail which is the best by the way  elk and then the normal predator stuff, you guys have quite the melting pot over there, any of you guys ever see a grizz in those parts or a wolverine?

[MLBowhunting]

Very nice.

And a perfect example of why so many are using SCI these days.

[boneaddict]

I have to admit, I never really studied SCI.   I always thought that was more for Africa stuff.  Raised on Boone and then Pope, but now, I really don't think much of any of them.  I used to really be into measuring, but not so much anymore.

SCI is pretty simple, if the buck grows it it gets credit for it.

That makes sense to me.  I've often thought an "immersion" measurement would be valuable to measure the actual cubic inches of bone grown by the animal above the pedicel.  Be tough to do, though.

A Displacement method would be great, it would also eliminate that ridiculous spread credit.

[bowhunterforever]

That's one cool looking buck

[MtnMuley]

I'd like to know the true story on this buck.  This is the third different pic of what I believe to be the same buck.  He might just be a WA buck.

[jackmaster]

it looks like he has a wound on his back, probably a damn wolf  what a hog 

[TeacherMan]

Why I want to move home!!!

What is the bloody fight scene you posted? 

[Elkpiss]

thats cool, my friend has a muley buck killed from the 30's from WA that has bigger drop clubs then that but similar...  i well have to take a pic of that buck, its probably the neatest buck i have ever seen with droppers....  Love droppers...

He is a Washington buck.

[DBHAWTHORNE]

looks kinda like these sheds.

Are those WA sheds? They look similar to a different set of sheds that I saw from the Res.

[dr.derek]

that has got to be annoying trying to eat and drink

Yes WA sheds, pics don't even do them justice, incredible is all I could say when they were in my hands. Elkslayer had some pics posted of them as well.

Yep.. Those were the ones I was thinking of... Awesome buck!

[Elkslayer]

Here is a picture of a buck from the same general area back in 2009. It's possible this is the same buck.

[boneaddict]

Is that his eyeguard or g2 in that pic?   If it is the eyeguard then they really do share a lot of the same similiarities.

[Elkslayer]

Those are his eyeguards Doug. This pic was taken approx 2 miles from the other one.

[Elkslayer]

Here is a little clearer pic not blown up.

[Birdguy]

Really cool buck or bucks  . Makes me even more disappointed I did not get back over to really put  out the bait station I planned for this winter for the pictures of what was around post season. Thanks for sharing a great buck with all of us.

[Jonathan_S]

it looks like he has a wound on his back, probably a damn wolf  what a hog 

That's probably just a tuft of fur that got nipped by another deer or "cowlicked" by a branch.  Eastside deer get extremely thick winter coats and you see that alot.

What an amazing buck.  I'm personally glad that Washington has such little notoriety for it's whitetail population.  So much public land, so few out of state interests
