30 inches
I've hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted.

My son and I have seen lots of nice bucks in the last few weeks, but the difference is Brad had a tag in his pocket.  I can only imagine all the fun he had with that tag and the mule deer fanatics that helped him along the way.  There are a lot of us who enjoy viewing these great animals, so thank you for the pics.

That is a very fine Washington buck and was taken by a good fellow who did the tag justice along with some guy's who just love hunting and the outdoors.  Congrats. and it has been a pleasure following along in your adventure.  Again Awesome Buck Brad and Muley Fanatics.
Thanks John

 :yike: WOW  :yike:! What a great buck and awesome thread. Thanks to all who helped, posted, took pictures and added to a great thread. Certainly worth following a great story about a fantastic hunt. Turns out it does take luck and a ton of hard work from the sounds of it. Way to go  :IBCOOL:.

I really love that buck.  I'll take a deer that carries its mass all the way through the entire rack, over one that may score better with longer skinnier points.  It is a personal preference but that is just about my perfect buck there.

Wow! That's about the nicest (dead) buck I've ever seen posted on here. I don't think you could beat that buck in ANY state! Love it.

I am not really too sure I would want this tag :)  The pressure is there even thoe you cant see it, the fact of trying to find the 1 is hard. We ( I mean every1 that was in on this hunt ) saw 350-450 deer in 2 days just too find that 1 buck. Its kinda hard to imagine all the bucks Brad saw before he got the op. on this buck, what a ride!  The average is 100 - 200 bucks for one trophy class buck, thats alot of bone.

Thats the coolest buck we've seen on this site. What a great deer. Glad for the successes of everyone involved.
Now lets hear the story.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
