First Deer i've ever shot, 2nd day of the season. Nice palmated Muley buck, the old timers in the area said they've never seen anything like it come out the area. Unique deer. Thick palmation of the antlers makes is more moose-like than anything.
heart shot at 220 yards, expired in less than 10 seconds. Not bad for a rookie, right?

What a warrior! Are you putting him on the wall?
Awesome buck with endless character.

Yeah I'm hoping to. Trying to find a reputable taxi. I live in bothell. It won't fit in my freezer, sitting on ice right now, hoping to find one today.

I've not had anything done by Charlie but he is a member here and he has posted lots of his work on the forum. It looks to be top notch and close enough to you. I would look into Charlie for sure.

Nice buck.

I know I'll take a bit of s**t for this one, already have from guys who've been hunting forever and haven't harvested a buck like this, but what can I say. At least I was ready and didn't miss 😜 "It's all downhill from here" is a common response I'm getting.

Congrats. Jealousy is the greatest compliment.

h20hunter · « **Reply #12 on:** October 23, 2015, 10:36:36 AM »

Yep...I think you spoiled yourself with that being a first deer. I like the weird ones, palmation, junk...that kind of stuff. I'd pull the trigger in a heartbeat.

Nah.not downhill at all, you got the hardest one out of the way first, the palmated buck. Now you just have the big typical and the droptine non typical to hang on the wall

jackelope · « **Reply #15 on:** October 23, 2015, 10:48:14 AM »

Stud of a buck. Congrats to you.
Thanks for sharing.

tgomez · « **Reply #16 on:** October 23, 2015, 10:57:15 AM »

I think your buck is half moose, half mule deer!

That is a nice buck and a heck of a first deer. You did yourself proud. Welcome to the club and congratulations on your success. Way to go brother!

I'll take that over a high-scoring typical any day

pianoman9701 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 23, 2015, 12:18:01 PM »

Wow, what a masher buck. Love to see a newly addicted hunter. Congratulations!

WA1232 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 23, 2015, 01:06:40 PM »

I highly recommend Olympic Taxidermy in North Bend. He did a mule deer for me in 2012. Good job, that's a great buck!

chinookie23 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 23, 2015, 01:23:53 PM »

you will get plenty of typical deer in your life. I would put my life savings (which isn't much

) that you will ever get another moose buck. natures way taxidermy in Spanaway would be my choice. He is always at the Puyallup sportsman's show and is also a member I believe.... BTW that's a really cool one there.

rosscrazyelk · « **Reply #23 on:** October 23, 2015, 01:44:18 PM »

That's a cool deer...Congrats

Labredog · « **Reply #31 on:** October 24, 2015, 06:37:19 AM »

That is an awesome deer. I would really like to see how that rack is scored. Non typical deer are hardly ever seen by most hunters, getting to harvest one is like winning the deer lottery.

Hey bud. Here are some pictures of the shed my daughter found. The weird thing is that it's from the same side as yours. I hope it's a different buck but it is possible for him to travel that far. They look pretty similar.

Hockey21 · « **Reply #35 on:** December 21, 2015, 07:55:51 AM »

Actually, now that I look at it, they are probably different animals. The shed I have was about a year old when we found it. And that was last year.

YoungGun9 · « **Reply #36 on:** December 21, 2015, 09:35:14 AM »
