I had a 40% chance at the tag last year and didn’t draw.  Should finally have enough points to try it again in 2025.

JJ do you remember the mass numbers on your Colorado giant?

Colorado 2017.  Best buck and best hunt experience.  If I only kill one 200”er, it’s the best possible way it could have happened.

Is there a thread on this hunt somewhere in the Huntwa coffers?

41”.    He’s heavy in places it doesn’t score.

You can see his H4 isn’t crazy and his H3 is smallest at the base of the G-2

There is…I think it was “Quest for 200” or something like that

This 3 point from Colorado is less than 180" but not by much. 29 1/2" wide and 19" G2's and 14" G4.

Antlershed, I’m going to pm you if I may, my uncle killed a buck in 1951, a cousin killed one in 61 and my dad killed one in 67 that are all very similar to your great grandpas buck. Total points between those 3 bucks were 52 points, not counting eye guards😆

2015 Idaho General Season tag
I didn't kill this buck, but I did find it for the guy that killed it. I had already punched my tag.
