09 gov buck?????

[KNOPHISH]

If it's the same guy I heard he has the Gov elk tag too.

Alot of talk in this thread!!!

And backtracking!   

I don't get it ...  What does it matter? I've seen a few larger bucks on here this year, a ton of smaller bucks for sure and now there is something wrong with a 180 class buck just because he paid for the tag? ... but you'll be a hero if you want the same buck with the raffle tag and end up with tag soup??? 

My only hope is that the tag holder will still want to post it now that all you experts have torn his buck to shreds!!!

Me too...great buck.  I'd be stoked to take that buck in WA.

Not sure where everyone tore his buck to shreds.  Kinda hard to do for most folks since they haven't seen it, and those that have for the most part saw it through  a cell phone pic.  There is such thing as discussion though and the last time I checked that was still ok.  Some of us may have some testosterone on board, but that is better than wearing a skirt and drinking apple martinis.  Its obvious we'd all love that hunt, but only one can do it, or maybe two or three with raffle tags and incentive tags included...ok maybe a 1000 or so can do it annually if you include tribal harvest.  anyways, the point is, we are all envious and would love the shot at some of the monsters that DO exist out there, and we all live vicariously through these few folks.

id shoot a spike with that gov tag just to piss everybody off

Hey Bone, those bucks you saw in the Colville's rig was one of them 34-36" wide?  I heard of 3 bucks taken (2 off the rez and one off of Camel Back) that were in the 32-36" area.  My buddy saw the 32-34" that was shot off of Camel Back but only heard about the other two.

 "Some of us may have some testosterone on board, but that is better than wearing a skirt and drinking apple martinis."

 OMG that's the phrase of the month.....

Yeah Polar, there were two of them in the back of a red pickup.  They didn't fit.......   Typical crest bucks, tons of mass, huge spread, but points didn't really add up or even.  Extremely wide and square.   I seriously was ill.  I didn't get to talk to the guy.  Rumors are he got both of them.  The thing that was amazing was also the size of the deer.  Its cool to see that size class(body and bone) of mature animal....not cool necessarily in the back of a tribal rig.

The amazing thing about the spread was the deer was so tall, it didn't look that wide.  A 34 inch toyo spare could fit inside it though.

I heard they were shot between Seventeen and Little Seventeen (on the rez)and that it was the same group who got the 40+" a few years back.  At least the Camel Back buck was taken by regular guys .  They were camped in our old spot up by Nine Mile Falls and Refrigerator canyon area.  My buddy b.s.ed with them for a while.  Good to see some great mulies still in the area, not good to see them "poached".

 Refrigerator got it's name for good reason. I remember freezing my butt off a few times there. Good to hear there are still bruiser's up there, hopefully I'll get back some day.

[boneaddict]

Yep, thats where they came from, at least what I heard.  Another tribal member showed me a pic later of them and that tire fit completely INSIDE his rack.  THAT WAS unreal.
