This 7 point was taken by my dad's brother out of the SouthEast Corner of Washington.  He drew the same tag about 4 years ago and bagged a Royal.  He is an excellent hunter and lucky on the draws, but I can't get him to buy any new high tech Cabelas hunting clothes.  As you can see he is wearing surplus button fly wool pants, a Viet Nam shirt, and a generic hat.  They just don't match with the Sworo Binos and 340 Synthetic Weatherby.  He is wearing Danner Trophy boots which Dad sold him on, which is an upgrade.  I'll post his photos if you rag about his clothing on this site.  He has millions in the bank, and hasn't bought me a Christmas present for quite a few years.  Shame on him!  Anyhow, he hit this beast at 300 yards with a 200 grain Barnes face on down hill through the back and lungs.  Remember this is a 340 Weatherby.  An hour later he tracks the trail around a tree and finds him broadside at 30 yards.  Bang!  Through the boiler room.  Doesn't flinch.  Re-chambers, and bangs another through the crank case.  Finally bellys-up.

Please excuse my error.  He has a Duck hunting pattern shirt on today.  However, his Nam Camo matched the pants better.  We still love you Vinnie.

I love those wool surplus pants.  Right up to the time they hang up on a barbwire fence.  Then they just peel in a nice big strip.  But for $5-$15 bucks, you can afford a bunch of replacements.
