OK here is my take on the weight and rack topic. SCREW IT...be happy the hunting goddess let you take one of her critters. Taking an animal's life to me is a very personal moment. I always say a prayer for the critter and thank the god(s) for the offering. My son's first kill was marked with blood on his forehead, not for brag but for fact and we had a moment for silence for the animal's life.
This may sound all weird and far out but that is the way my Finnish roots are made.
Be happy you got something to eat, had a good time with friends and relatives, because you never know when your or their moment of leaving this wonderful life could happen.

I'm with YellowDog on this one.  Who cares what it weighs, what do the horns look like?  Weighing chit is for fisherman!

 Horn's don't taste very good. I'd rather know how much venison I'm going to have that winter.....

 I think you can make a division between trophy hunters and meat hunter's. The meat hunter may care about and appreciate a nice rack, but probably won't have a clue how to score it and ultimately cares more only that it was a huge buck. Washington isn't like Texas, where you'll have a buck with a world record rack and and dinker body on it. Generally, a large body size in Wa. = a buck with a decent rack also.

WAKE ME UP WHEN THIS IS OVER.






:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Now thats what I'm talking about :chuckle:. I agree with most of what all was said in this topic, Who cares! But I do, I always here about how small blacktails are, yeah in california! My point was that mature blacktail bucks are big , at least the ones I've killed and weighed. Yeah the live weights are estimates by the chart, but I'll bet they are not too far off. It also has alot to do with the time of year they are killed,  how much rutting they have been doing, etc... But who cares , it was suposed to be a fun post but I guess some people take stuff too seriouse some times.  :chuckle: YEA HAW!!!!

Hey Dman, that's a pretty fat horse your smiley is beating.  How much do you think he wei... oh forget it.  Happy hunting everyone.  At least we can all agree that Dman killed a great buck.
