Karl really hurt my feelings.
I just don't understand why he needs to be so mean.
because it's January mainly  :chuckle:

There are plenty of people who don't post on this site and don't submit antlers to the sportsman's shows. They hunt and kill big animals every year. Including 180" mule deer in Washington. I know someone who has a buck much heavier and just as big as Karl's buck is but doesn't like people knowing about it. He even went out of town to have it mounted! Some people are weird that way. I know folks on the Colville Reservation that shoot huge bucks too and dont post them on the internet for everyone to see.  In fact I know more hunters who never visit the site than those that do. I don't think there is anywhere in the entire PNW that your typical 160-170 inch deer hang out either. More like 120-140 is your typical size  :dunno:

Don't even bring Ricky Bobby into this....😂
I want to say congratulations again.
Both your bucks are extraordinary animals,also I'm 💯 percent you guys will hunt hard and be successful in the future.
Again sorry,I said that way wrong,not everyone does social media/ hunting. Just thought there might be a handful of 180 bucks out there that nobody knows about.
I enjoyed both your harvest story's.
Thank you for sharing!

Yeah and for the record, both of your deer are magnificent and you probably won't ever do better.  :chuckle:  :dunno: Maybe you will?

I know of 2 others, one was 189 6/8" out of the Methow and a 200"+ out of another area. I will try and get some pics this week.

I believe the one out of the Methow was the kid who killed the big one during the general season correct? Absolute whopper.
