Where are all the big modern bucks???

2014 modern..

Don't post that big basin buck on here:-). We only have spikes and forkys in eastern WA so you must've got him in Idaho, wink, wink!  All joking aside, congrats!  That's a beautiful buck!  I'd love to hear your hunt story.

Kazekurt nope not a basin buck, backpack hunt here in washington.. Honestly two days hiking in, 30 minute hunt.. Passed him first then showed again and couldn't look a gift horse in the mouth! 550 yard poke, quartering away entered last rib and out opposite front shoulder! Thanks for the congrats as well

Congrats. Not sure why anyone would pass that buck anywhere in this state.

or any other for that matter.   Unless the photo is completely deceiving with that short box, that thing looks ginormous.

Haha just didn't like the short mains and small fronts.. Ended up being 27.5 wide, looking straight down on him he wouldn't look up and just had a massive fuzzy head that was deceiving at the time! Frame wise he's very respectable.. Each year I try and up my standards and I guess I've had a pretty good run the last few years and I look forward to muleys every year and once you send it that's the end for the year.. And the stick between the antlers is just to prevent shrinkage as the head and sutures dry..

once you send it that's the end for the year

I understand completely!    That's one of the reasons I took up photography
