They seemed to be bigger and darker than the resident bucks.Of course none would be around come shooting light.The was a substantial increase in the number of deer coming through.Those numbers just don’t seem to be around in the two weeks of the general season now. Thats seems to be the one common trait with the big Methow bucks. They are really dark, in color. As a kid listening to stories, from the old timer residents in the Valley. They claimed they could tell the migrant bucks out of B.C. by the color. Their term was not dark, it was black. Black as coal, some would claim. I miss those people, those stories. They could take you back to a time, before cars. If the story is true, a time when there were some many Ruffed grouse in the creek bottoms, the boys hunted them with sligshots and feed them to the hogs. Maybe not my biggest, but Definetly the darkest! Early 70's Methow valley

For the record, saying "I'll kill you" is a micro aggression, and is unacceptable. And... Unless someone can show me a certified scale with a deer weighing in at 300+ gutted out from Washington. I'm gonna say it's never happened before. I don't care how many deer you have seen or butchered or wrestled to the ground and knifed or whatever. Nobodies ever seen a 500+# deer in Washington State. Never.... Ever.... That huge whitetail killed on a farm in Michigan only weighed 420 live on the hoof. And it was enormous!Definitely a fisherman talking.
That's a cool buck and it is quite dark like people are saying. I initially thought that gun was a sporterized mosin nagant. Thanks for sharing
Short guys are by far the best hunters.
1 He is kneeling on the snow. 2 It's a semi sporterized Krag. Gonna guess a 30-40. 3 Its not long armed. Look closer before you start spouting.
