Here's a Whitetail deer from a few years ago...I think it was somewhere in the '97-'99 range, but would need to find the hard pictures to give a specific date.  It was shot outside of Pullman in the Almota Unit 142.  I've been hunting the same area since 1989, so that's just about 20 years.

A quick story on this one....I was hunting with my Dad and one of my brothers.  We made a pact that we wouldn't shoot anything deep in the canyons unless it was something to brag about.  Well, after a morning of kicking out does, I saw this guy across a canyon down from me at about 300 yards.  I was on a fence line so I was able to get a good view.  He was pushing does in mid November.  I put him down in one shot.  My brother was first on the scene and dragged him to the bottom of the canyon.  I called him on the radio to ask him how big....he said Big and that was that.....I knew I had a wall hanger once I got to him.  It's over 19inches wide and has a ton of character.  If he would have grown symmetrical, he would have been around 24 inches wide.  Not to bad for a Snake River breaks WT.

I'll post another story from this past year - 2008.  It was one for the record books.  It took a small army to get it out.  Well over 300pounds on the hoof.

Cool buck. Has lots of character. I have hunted the breaks mostly muleys where I hunted but cool to run into a whitey everyonce in a while. Congrats and cant wait to see the 300 pounder!
