Not sure how I haven't done it yet but finally broke into the 30" club in ID last week.

Nice! That thing is crazy wide!

Old news but here's my WA buck.  195 1/8" and 42 5/8" of mass

He wasn’t thirty inches?

What an epic season!!!  Congrats on two great bucks.  You’re making me feel bad about myself 5 days into a draw tag. 🤣

Yeah but you did it with a rifle...  Does that even count?  :chuckle: :chuckle:

Just kidding - that is a great buck - epic year man!

Nice buck! Only been out twice this year, have seen some decent bulls but only small bucks. Holding out

pretty bleak hunt for us honestly. Only saw half a dozen bucks and killed the two biggest BY FAR.  Heat and full moon didn't help any.  Hopefully some colder weather moves in for you before the season ends.

We had a pretty great rifle season this year! We started out opening evening with my son taking his third buck after a several hour sit in the direct sun waiting for his buck to stand up out of his bed. Once the buck stood my son laid down a perfect 330 yard heart shot, dropping right back into his bed. After that me and my son spent our time finding a first buck for my great friends eleven year old daughter, last year she was able to take her first doe. We were spread out a couple hundred yards glassing a canyon when this mule deer buck came sneaking below me. I was able to direct them into rifle range without the buck noticing. She took her shot at 120 yards, the buck went about 80 yards and stopped offering her second shot which hit perfect and finished the job. After that we were out of youth tags to fill and still had several days to hunt so it was Bobby’s turn to hunt. We got close on a couple much smaller buck that we had found in the days prior but weren’t able to get his daughter on. Luckily those didn’t work out for him either, we had not seen this buck before, neither had any of the other guys hunting around us. My son gets the credit for spotting this buck, and putting Bobby on him. This is his first deer! he has only been hunting for two season now
I don't always shoot big mule deer, but when I do, it's with a bow tech!

Those are both very very nice Idaho bucks.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
