i am being very conservative here but an easy 190+. I have never seen a buck this big before. I almost had a heart attack. He stood up 10 yards from me. Oct. 31 2008. that day will haunt me the rest of my life. His forks were at least a foot long or better and he was a heavy, wide, black antlered 28 inches wide and very tall.

you can bet that I will going hard for him this next year. Although chances are slim since this area is very thick and hard to hunt but I will give her hell. Lets see your bench bone. I have heard you talk about it before but I have not seen a pic yet.

wow that is a real nice buck bone. I have seen a few that are about that size. I have not seen one like that with the cheaters though. Double eyeguards look familiar. Is that a general buck. We have shot about 4 bucks about his size maybe not quite as wide though. we seem to get into the old regressed massive bucks that tend to stay at te 20'' mark.

Not so bad around our neck of the woods.  I've seen nicer bucks down here lately than I have elsewhere in the state.  Most don't measure up,but I like big ole bucks with mass, and thats what these big benchlegs like yours have.

ya they are my fave. They do get some of the coolest racks around.  I have seen quite a few whopper 3 points. I like the ones that have that red color to the antlers. We hunted true mulies for the first time this year in Idaho and after that I prefer my bench bucks even though they typically dont get as big.

I saw more deer this year west of yakima than I have ever seen. Granted I have only been deer hunting for 4 years. Saw one big buck but he was in the oak trees and was gone before I got a good look at him. :bash:

Great buck Bone.  I dig that cape with the double throat patch too.  You do some of your own taxidermy, don't you?
