Stew,
 Your buck is even more impressive in person! Love the mount.

Both the non typical white tails one was harvested in 2013 and the other was harvested in 2014.

Cool pictures and nice animals.   Looks like I was there at the wrong time.  I was up there around 3 on Saturday and there was maybe a dozen bucks on display?  Not nearly as many as I was used to seeing.  Glad it filled in!

I had a question while there.  The rack (blacktail) on the top left was typical and the right was non-typical.  I saw almost mirror images of each other, I couldn't see why one was typical and not the other? (post 15)

So we finally have some answers.  A new Washington state record! Non-typical whitetail, scored 246 2/8. Taken by Buddy Hughes in Asotin County, 2013.  I'm surprised this Buck remained under the radar for this long! Awesome deer! Congrats to the hunter!

Are there answers or just a name to go with the buck? Anyone actually know Buddy Hughes?
Where has this buck been or his sheds been for the last __ years? The hunting community is a small world.
 
Very strange.

I'm a jerk but I keep chanting in my head "DNA TEST DNA TEST" 

That looks like a farm raised deer.

Looks like that other non-typ WT was taking by the same guy.

Im with you guys, I would love to know more about this deer too, but I guess I don't find it as hard to believe as some of you that there might be a hunter out there who doesn't care about the spotlight.

There's way more hunters out there every year that kill big bucks and find big sheds in Washington that keep it to themselves and close friends than are ever posted on the internet.  By a loooooong margin.

I believe it... though it's rare to have a guy completely off the radar even when his name is out there like this one (assuming he is not using an alias). Either way, I'm glad he decided to share these amazing bucks with the rest of us.

Yup I'm going to be that guy...saw it on social media...anyone have any info?

I actually got my hands on this buck at the taxidermists.  Ill share a few pics i took.  Amazing animal.  Not my place to say anything about it though.
