Entiat Update!!!

[JBar]

Yea the hunter was guided by Icicle Outfitters best archery guide. Looks like he did well for the guy, nice buck for a rough score of 201 by Dan.

Well that only took 76 posts for the BS to start! Thought this post was going well until now. I'm done with this post and I will appologize to the hunter for talking him into letting me post his pic. Skyval That's a pretty bold/false statement to throw out there and to include an outfitter  :bdid:We'll see what the record books put him at in about 50 days!

yep and i know the guy that killed the buck personally and that buck was a do it your self hunt all week WITHOUT A GUIDE AND THATS A FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get your stories right before you start opening your mouth and if that outfitter is stepping up and telling lies like that well they just got a bad name in my mouth.  and i will say again good job to my friend that killed the buck and his friend that was with him all week.

THE TRUTH. thats all that matters . awesome buck. congrats to the hunter.

Hmmmmmm!!! that is interesting. I think that may be why some people shy away from sights like this. Maybe someone has some bucks mixed up or something. I hope that is the case. Maybe someone should let the hunter know what is going on. Still a masher, no matter what.

Boys Boys Boys, settel down. The truth always comes out in the end. Outfitter or not the hunter still has to do his part and that is just one heck of a buck. High fives to the hunter!

I hear 185"ish....not saying that's what it is, but plenty of rumors!

I also saw the email from Icicle Outfitters.  They were not claiming they shot it or had anything to do with it, just showing some of the bucks that were shot up that way this year.  There were also a couple of pics of other nice bucks that they had nothing to do with, just representative pictures of some of the better bucks that were taken this year by hunters in the area.....no claim to fame on the drop tine buck.

"Lighten up Francis".....Stripes - Beginning to feel like one of the other websites around here!

Curious to see a legit score on this one. I just dont see 200" with those weak backs.  I agree that 185 looks more like it. None the less, great buck!!

[hornhunter]

There is only one picture.......With 20 inches of drop tine that buck may be right at 200.  You dont know the spread or anything.  Yes, weak backs, but who freakin cares.  IT HAS DOUBLE DROP TINES. Get over the weak backs and go watch another Eastmans video or somthing.

Truely a buck of a lifetime, Congrats on a great animal!!!!!!!

Where can I see the pictures that Icicle outfitters took ( not guided.. Don't want to make anyone cry and get all worked up ) of the big bucks killed in the Entiat ?

This is just his opinion Hornhunter, he is entitled to post it. You believe the buck to be 200 and he thinks 185, nothing wrong with having differences of opinion.

I think its beautiful and unique buck as well and would have given him a dirt nap as well. That being said I think the pic is a bit deceiving. For one the ears have been pulled back, this pose gives you nothing to base your width measurement aspect. I think his G2's, backs, are pretty decent, its his G3's that are weak IMHO. For a buck to score in the upper 180's he has to have several things but a good rule of thumb for a typical frame is 18" G2's and 12" G3's and G4's, this is just the start of things to look at when field judging mule deer. I would put this buck in the low 160 class before adding his extras. A solid Washington buck for certain but I don't see anything close to 200 myself.

I was the one who said "weak backs" and it was a joke, I was trying to make light of the fact that its a hog of a buck, if my joke was taken wrongly I apalogize. JB

I just posted it that way to give the folks that don't know the correct point numbers
