Author Topic: Got my Dad's B&C Buck back from the taxidermist today (Read 6873 times)

My stepfather shot this buck back in 1982 in Pend O'reille County. It sat in our basement and shed for years until he passed away, when I inherited it. Last year I decided to take it to Darin Fuson in 9 Mile Falls and have it put on a head.
The buck scores 189 2/8" as a non-typical and was entered in the B&C awards book when I had it officially scored about 8 years ago. Missed all time book by less than an inch. For the record, my Dad never had it scored when he was alive because he was primarily a meat hunter, and in his words "It won't make the books with that busted tine".

Awesome buck. Pend oreille counties got some bruisers. If you drive through Newport there's a real nice whitetail in the visitors lobby at the forest service office. I see some similarities between the two bucks

Absolute tank of a deer.

Reminds me or my grandfather,
Couldn’t care less about some “score”
Meat on the table, more crops in the field.
Probably would have ground the antlers along with the bones for
Fertilizer or pig feed.mixer

What a way to honor your dad and that magnificent deer

That is an amazing buck! Money well spent!!!

The broken point my Dad lamented was probably a 9 inch inline on his passenger side. He has a matching point on his driver's side, so I assume the busted tine was about the same length. If he wouldn't have broken it, he'd have made all-time book with about 8 inches to spare.
This is the driver's side...

Passenger side broken point.
