Well done my man. Great buck!

Great buck glad to see this. Did you see anything in that bonafide area I/we mentioned earlier in thread? I'm sure there was a lot of hussling around on that hunt!

I never even stepped foot in that area. In the first couple days I was able to ID a couple of main areas that had concentrations of animals and I basically just lived in those areas. I'm sure there were animals in the stuff you mentioned, there was just no reason for me to venture over there.

From the tip of the kicker, to the other side, is just over 30". Can I say that I killed a 30" washington buck now?

Yes you can, just don't mention the weight

I'm going to be weighing out the meat tomorrow. That cooler was heavy    Thanks Rick. You and your brother went above and beyond sharing your hard earned info and knowledge when you didn't have to, and it certainly helped out. It really helped focus my efforts in the areas I was most likely to find success. The beer was good too.    Maybe some day I'll be able to return the favor.

Your welcome Rory , now hurry up and change your avatar

Great buck Rory!
Always great to see the same type of energy and respect given to these animals from fellow hunters. Hard work pays off.

Great story and great buck!!!  I loved the honesty of it all and for all hunters its the ups and downs of hunting that makes the memories the best!

    congrats!!!!

[7mmfan]

Thanks everyone. It was really a hunt for the books. Like dvolmer said, all the ups and downs come with the territory and are what make the hunt memorable. I just wish that hunts like this were something we could all draw here in our home state on a more regular basis.

So I cut and packaged everything tonight. Total weight of bone in quarters was 128.5#. I had almost exactly 28# of trim and bones. The tote full of packaged meat was 104.5. Minus tare, it comes to 100.5# of packaged meat!
