Entiat Update!!!

[wastickslinger]

Ok Ok weak backs is poorly worded and I can see how this would offend a person. This is a stud of a buck and I agree 100% that it would take a dirt nap if I were behind the trigger.

Here is the deal. Had it been left at anonomous hunter and no one threw a score up, this would have never been brought up. It would have been left alone I'm sure. Now start throwing up the Magic 200" number and you might get a few opinions

I have been proven to be off, and sometimes way off. I do not care. Since I was under the assumption that no one had a real true score yet (I have not seen a sheet), I thought I would give my thoughts. I am entitled to them still.

Here goes a more politically correct version of what I stated earlier for those fragil hearted souls out there who might get their panties in a knot.

"I would really like to see a score on this buck to see if it really is 200" like stated. Im not doubting anyones scoring capabilities, just would like to see. When I put the numbers together I come up with a 160" main frame and 20" of droppers. The G2's appear to be no more than 15-16" or so and the G3's look to be about 4-5". It would be remarkable for the main frame to still be 180", but I'm sure that it could be."

Does any that is defending the 200" score have the actual measurment so I can stick my foot in my mouth. I have no problems sticking my foot in my mouth but I will not do so without seeing a full set of numbers rather thatn a bashing of my opinion. It is very easy to just throw out 200". Give us a little support huh.

I tried to do a little math and came up with 200" gross, although it's real hard to tell by the picture.

I'd never shoot that buck, I'd have have buck fever so bad I'd probably forget I had my bow!

great buck for sure!

No kidding, I would need oxygen.

I think the picture is deceptive... look at how the droppers twist and curl... I'd put them closer to 15" and 16"....  The way his mains twist up add a few more inches than normal, I'd put his inside spread credit at 26", and since the picture is taken at a downward angle, he's a lot taller than what you'd think imho...  I see no reason why he couldn't gross over 200...

Remember that big 3 point bone photo'd the day after he shot his buck in Alta?  He guessed that buck as a three point close to 180, and this bucks dimensions are just as good imho...   

Like you guys said, we need an official score sheet to really tell!

And the buck was NOT guided by Icicle... The other high hunt 5 point mainframe buck in the email is BobM's from this site, and I KNOW they didn't guide them... Shag and BobM got that buck on their high hunt...

Dale just sent out that email wishing everybody merry christmas and thought it'd be nice to show ya'll some of the hogs that were killed this year in the state.  Doesn't mean they guided them!  And if you look on their Icicle Outfitters hunting page under "More hunting pics" you'll see neither of the bucks posted, because they didn't guide them.

Phool- I respect your judgement.  All I said was there is only one picture.  How wide is it?  How tall?  Main beams?  Drope tines ? Kickers? eye guards? its all a mystery.  We all can guess but until we have three different pics from three different angles NOBODY can GUESS accuratley.  DIRT NAP MATERIAL FOR SURE  

When I dream at night I dream of bucks like that mounted all around my dream trophy room!!!!

[Samish]

I'm going to through in a "guess" of 189 1/2" NT. Whatever it ends up, it's my dream buck. Congrats to the hunter. I look forward to hearing the story.

Who cares about scores! The only score you can put on a buck like that is "Holy S#&*"! It doesn't get any better than that! JBar, thanks for posting the pic, I know everyone on here really enjoys seeing a buck like that regardless of any negative sounding comments. Taking an old wise buck like that in Washington is one thing, but taking it in Washington with a bow in open country, tell your friend that he is the man. Congrats to your son on a great buck as well. I know it can be a challenge to get close to those deer, even during the rut. Congrats to him also on another true trophy. Just awesome!

Who cares about scores!

Well I guess I do....not because it makes that buck any less or more of a shooter (definite shooter), only because I like the challenge of judging an animal on the hoof with a limited view and/or reference point.

Think of having the raffle tag or a tag that you have been holding out for for several years (you want a 190" or better) and you have a quick snap shot of a buck that you misjudge and end up putting your tag on a 170".  Nice buck, but not what you were personally looking for.

Over scoring is a very common practice among us hunters.  Can't tell you the number of 200" class bucks that I heard about when I had the raffle tag in 2005.  Seems that you could find one in most units in WA 

Great buck, congratulations to the hunter and thanks for posting.  Did anyone have any additional pics and/or an official green score?  Either of the two would be greatly appreciated.   


Thanks

I agree with that statement. I don't know how many times that I've been working on a 22" 145 class buck and a customer will walk in and think it's a 28" 180 buck. Its kind of funny

*censored* or Dear! Here we go again 



I love them double drops! Buck of a lifetime there!

[WABONEHNTR]

I wish I had the raffle tag in 2005!
