WA General Season Bruiser
« on: November 16, 2020, 01:32:43 PM »
First off, a HUGE THANK YOU to Bearpaw and the Mod team for helping me take care of some initial issues -- all is now right in the world and I can finally share!

29-1/2" wide, gross ~190". Interestingly enough, he carries 5" of mass through most H measurements, and his ears were just shy of 27" tip-to-tip. Never seen a deer with a noggin as big as this guys, his head reminded me of a literal Mule!

Maybe next year I'll finally get the book buck I've been chasing...

Amazing buck general season or permit.

Congrats! I'd love to see the rest of his measurements. A 190 with no g1's is huge.

I'll see if I can get them from the relative currently in possession and scan them in.

Taxidermist (B&C scorer) said with a matching right side and G1's he'd be all over 200".
