Thank you everyone for the kind words! I am going to work on writing a story here soon but it was a very difficult hunt and was a true testament to not giving up. I scouted this deer for a month and was able to harvest him on the 10th day of the hunt after having some blown stalks and not being able to get close enough multiple times. He was smart and often times I thought man I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to get this buck! But I just stuck with it and feel thankful and honored to even have a chance at harvesting this buck. I was able to slip by two does and get within 41 yards of him in his bed, got drawn back, stepped out from behind the sagebrush and he stood up as I was locked in on my 40 yard pin. I let er fly and my arrow dissapeared in the perfect spot double lung behind the shoulder. I waited almost an hour to be sure and he was piled up about 250 yards from where I shot . My buddy Trevor guided me into the bushes he last saw him in and as I approached I couldn't believe my eyes. We knew he was huge but had no idea he was as giant as he was. Greatest hunt, buck, and hunting moment of my life. Only bad thing is it's all down hill from here! 😅 lol. He was scored by my taxidermist who is an official WA State scorer it green grossed at 234 7/8ths and with only 3 inches of deductions put him at a net of 231 7/8ths. Of course have to wait for the drying period for it have an official score. I couldn't be more thankful!
Great buck, I scrolled thru all the comments and naybe I missed it. Why a orange vest ?
A member for 4 years but had to wait for a state record buck for your first post? You can post without killing a monster buck, you know. Congrats again. He's a simply amazing buck.
This buck is truly a trophy of a life time!!!! Do you know the age of the deer roughly??? Did you get a look at his teeth? His coloring on his face makes him look on the young side. Hard to see if he has a big roman nose with the straight on pictures. I would love to see a side profile picture of his head. Cool buck with tons of character and mass! Every hunters dream!!! Especially with the difficulty you had getting him with multiple blown stalks and many days time to get him. At the time it was frustrating for you but the memories will be forever! If you just got out and shot him on the first easy stalk it wouldn't be as memorable as all the hard work you put in to get him! Well Done!!!!!
