I have a photo of it on the hood of the green Jeep but will wait to see if the shooter is on here and cares if it's posted.  Hunting partners and I were in the same area when it was taken.  Heavy horned stud.
The desert buck is a freak!
I heard a giant came out of the 290, 200"er. Was that your dad by chance? I have not seen any pics.

Unfortunately, no not yet, he's spent a week there each month.  I'm heading back with him the 1-17th so hopefully something turns up.  Will keep an eye out for photos.

He'd be happy with one on this post for sure.  We got to see it at the guy's camp and was pretty amazing.

Great buck.   :tup:

I would have had a trash bag on its head and run it out after dark, packed up my bags and headed home.

You guys with your secrecy act like nobody else knows there's some big mule deer running around in the methow. Bad news but pretty much everyone familiar with the state knows that already.

Congrats to the hunter, thats a fantastic deer!

That's one of the things I love about this site.  You get to find out stuff that you would never have known about 30 years ago.  Awesome buck  :tup:

Crazy buck!!! Anyone here know Victor Moss back in the day? He owned the Outdoorsman in Winthrop before he succumbed to cancer. Neat guy. I got to see his trophies from a lifetime in the Methow and dang he had some huge animals. Some similar to that.

Vic harvested some nice animals in his lifetime, some shady hunts yes, but amazing animals…

That's not a buck... that's a horse with antlers!  What a deer!

Gary
One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset

The original pic I saw had the body attached and Horse is an understatement.  What a BRUTE of a body that deer had.

I grew up pumping gas at the family Shell station.  Every once in awhile Idabooner would let me slip off and go hunt.   :chuckle: Every year some amazing animals came through.   The potential is there obviously.  Generally it seemed like the biggest went to some random bloke road hunting and often times their first time hunting.  I always said I’d rather be lucky than good.   I have no idea what the case is here, but what a nice buck.    Those are the kind of bucks that make you go back I even if the odds aren’t good.   Congratulations to the Hunter.   Some late tag holder “got robbed” lol

Some good genetics up there. Definitely some similarities to my dads 2015 beast.

It was probably a descendent of that big buck track you followed when you had your late permit Bone.  :chuckle:
