looking for a pic/story of a big blacktail

[bankwalker]

im looking for the story/pics of that big blacktail some guy got during archery season up around between goldbar-skykomish area. it was a few years back. the guy had patterned the deer for a few years and finally connected with him

anyway anyone have that story? or pics? if you remember the buck im talking about that is.

[jackelope]

google "the gold bar buck"...you'll find it.

[bankwalker]

thanks jackelope

btw hows that savage working for you? i almost baught another one today in the same condition as the one i sold you. minus this ones stock was WAY worse 

[boneaddict]

I thought th egame department killed the gold bar buck for trapping some kids on some playground equip[ment or something......different story....different buck?    I saw that guy while fishing and he was huge. 

[jackelope]

well...i was wrong. i can't find squat. if you go to washington-oregon game and fish mag and search for it, it shows something, but i can't get the link to work.

the savage is working out great. it has a 3.5-10 scope, a tupperware stock that i painted, a harris bi-pod, and shoots great. it will likely see some action this fall. i planned to take it out after some yotes this year but that was not to be.

the youth stock has been refinished and is on a stevens .243 that belongs to the neighbor kid. he'll use it for his first deer hunt this year.

yeah i have google everything i can think of to find that story but have yet to find anyting.

and thats cool that old stock got some use. it was really bad off. the one i was looking at buying is even worse off then mine was.

[Coasthunterjay]

yeah i looked also, all i could find out was otherwebsites of other peole talking about a gold bar buck.........and something about it maybe getting stolen from the taxidermist......

I looked for it awhile ago on MM becasuse I was looking for pics of him for a couple of our threads.  I couldn't remmber if his one side was a 5 or not.  There was a very nice non-typical that was there and thats what I thought had the gold bar name tagged onto him.  He was definately not a hoax.  I saw him a couple times fishing the Sky for chum.  He was a monster but became a little too friendly.  I figured the wdfw used it as an excuse to get a nice mount for their office as I am sure they could have trained him to be skiddish.....but.......so be it.

The one that was in the Oregon/Washington fish and game magazine taken with a bow was a mule deer. They had resended the story. The guy supposedly patterened it and shot it with a bow but if you saw the picture you could tell it was a muley.

[coastalghost]

If I remember, it was bulloney...muley horns mounted on a blacktail cape.  They gave the guys name in the article...wonder if he was from the area.   He said he had seen one even "biggger" than the one he arrowed...yah right.

[Skyvalhunter]

Yep you remember it right. It was found to be a Blacktail cape on a mule deer taken in Chelan County. He got caught with his hand in the cokie jar.

[Bearhunter]

Coastalghosts story is the same as what I remember reading in Washington Oregon fish and game.  Probably something like 8 years ago.  He supposedly shot the smaller of the two bucks.

I used to subscribe to W-O G&F and have the issue that the Gold Bar Buck article ran in. It was July 2002.  They called it a 7x7 scoring 179 1/8.  Happy to share it if somebody wants a copy or scan.

[boneaddict]

I guess I'm not talking abouthe "gold bar" buck then.  Does anyone remember the buck I am referring too.

[boneaddict]

Nope, wasn't that one as this buck was a non-typical......but I made a link or thread of its own for that one.   Thats just messed up.
