Story WA state record James Cartwright buck; 200 3/8 Typical

[DBHAWTHORNE]

An article I wrote regarding the enormous WA state record typical whitetail appears in this months North American Whitetail Magazine. The buck was taken in 1992 but virtually unheard of outside of our region. It's an interesting story if you are into that sort of thing. It's an exceptional animal that is part of a greater and more important legacy. The issue is currently in stores if you would like to take a look.

Very nice buddy...congrats!

[DBHAWTHORNE]

Thanks brother. Maybe one of these days you and I can see a buck of this caliber on the hoof instead of in the pages of a magazine. It's motivating to know WA can produce bucks of this caliber.

Those genetics were roughly 18 miles as the crow flies from your sets. I am sure they could spread that far in nearly two decades.

Where can I find the story?  I've been looking for awhile on record bucks in wa and there doesn't seem to be alot out there.  Where was he taken? 101?

The story is in North American Whitetail Magazine. A lot of Walmarts have it in eastern WA. I am not sure about western WA. I have also seen it on a few other random magazine racks.

The buck was taken in Stevens County.

Northwest Big Game Inc. puts out a record book that focuses on the NW and B&C has an outstanding online database with many filters so you can find exactly what you want (of course it cost $$$.. I think 50-60 bucks per year last time I purchased it)

Thanks for posting that. I'll have to see if Cabelas has North American Whitetail on the shelf.

The Cabelas in Post Falls, ID carries North American Whitetail. I am not sure if all of them do.

If not I'll check Wal Mart. Thanks again. Looking forward to reading the article.
