What a great buck that is. Damn!!

Great buck and cool picture. Hopefully people post some more. Washington seems to have had some amazing bucks unfortunately mostly in the past

Cartwright buck is a great story.  215" typical (I believe) whitetail from Stevens Co in 1992.  Lots of controversy about it - who actually killed it, how it was killed, and how the main beam got broken.

Me too, man. Hard to even imagine one that size. Looks like a whole different species than most I've ever taken.

I missed on that size when archery hunting 15 years ago…..no lie it was a monster.   That still haunts me to this day.   I have dreams often of the scenario and wake up crying.

Not sure if I should use a laughing emoji or a crying one!!

Both would be appropriate.   I’ll have to right up the scenario…it’s a good story.   Sept 3rd, I’ll never forget the date.

Absolute monsters. 

Very cool.

Yup have heard a few rumors.
There was a topic on HW about that buck.
Definitely a nice one.

that bucks official score is 199 or 198 I believe. Ive talked to guys who hunted that buck and a landowner who lived near that property. I dont believe that buck was ever taken legally

Ya I've researched it a bit.,talk to people about it.
I have a pretty good idea of the area he came from.
But what killed that buck,nobody will ever know.
