Nile 08 buck????

[buckmaster_wa]

I dont know if it was at the sportsmans show but there is a picture of a buck up at Whistlin jacks lodge. The gas station part. The pic is an older guy with a nice non-typical buck with a drop tine on one side and a couple kickers on the other. A buddy of mine that lives up there said it came from the Nile. Maybe norsepeak knows more about it.

hmm yea saw that entiat buck earlier.... but I guess the drops on the buck were on the same side..... Wasnt sure thats just what I had heard.........

Ya i saw that buck at the sportsmans show and believe it was alberta to. had two droppers on one side and one dropper on the other side.

Ya right.   Haven't seen a deer that big in my days up there.  Saw one that big years ago up above whistlen jacks.

Stewart (Entiat) buck from the Puyallup show...
Not 226 but this 200 is a great WA deer.

Saw the buck today, theres a picture of it hanging in the woodshed.......

that picture at Whistlin jacks is no where near a 200 in deer, the nile or anywhere around yakima doesnt have the genetics to produce one for the fact that most are not full blood mulies

I would have to disagree 100% with the above statement, not about the picture because I haven't seen it, but the idea that anywhere around Yakima doesn't have the genetics to produce that big of deer. What about that 219" buck killed on the Rez like 3 or 4 years ago? In my understanding that buck was killed north of glenwood, close to Klickitat Meadows. If you hunt in the uppermost part of the Cowiche Unit, you are on the other side of the Meadows. That buck wasn't a pure muley, not even close. The genetics are there, somewhere, not in great amounts but there is the possibility, but they don't get the age required to get that big.

my uncle works out at the yakima training center and one of the mp's brought in a 4x4 shed that we scored 96 2/8 inches. I'm no B&C scorer but I am probably within a few inches.  They are few and far between but they are out there!

a 4x4 shed that we scored 96 2/8 inches.

WOW!!! with a match and a easy 18" spread credit that would be a 210" buck

[jake]

im sure there are a handful of 200" deer floating around Yakima and the firing center produces some really nice deer, but as someone else stated game management is what is holding a lot of areas back.

[fishunt247]

I agree with that. Game management isn't genetics though.

Ive seen some wopper,s on the winter range in unit 368 but I doubt any wood go even 170.

[fishunt247]

Just saw a fresh shed that one of my good friends picked up in that unit that would gross in the low 170's. Its a perfect typical, backs and fronts are even and deep, and mass typical of a benchleg. He usually picks up one horn a year that would go around 160" to 170" in the last five years. There is usually one or two really nice bucks killed in that unit every year, and non-typicals every so often. That unit has potential. I'd love to see it go draw only, like they did with Mud Lake years ago.
