Raffle Buck from a Few Years Ago
« on: October 12, 2009, 07:55:18 PM »
Most of you have probably seen this one, but for those of you that haven't... here's a WA bruiser.  I was down to the wire, figured I'd end up eating the tag, but even a blind hog gets an acorn once in a while - I'd rather be lucky than good anyday!

He's only 28 1/2" wide, but has over 65" of mass on him.  Has a few inches of antler tips missing, but intact would come in right at 190" even.

Even got to share it with my dad...

Enjoy!

Great buck, when I had that tag in 07 I had that pic and the one of Garrett and his dad to look at everyday. I wanted to match your success but never found one like that.

Yeah, you guys got me second guessing myself... I must be remembering the mass wrong.  I'll remeasure it and post it again.

Thanks.

OK, I pulled my notes back out... I stand corrected!  It was 45 inches of mass green and 40 inches after drying out.

Sorry.
