I thought all roadkills belong to the State?

Its up to the gammies. If you have a valid tag and its during your tag season most of the time they will let you take it.

Thats a toad of a whitey..

got that in a text, from a buddy who knows the guy who was allowed to tag it.  He'd been hunting it for most of the season.  It was coming into his hay pile from across a major road.  My buddy joked the other day that the buck would probably get hit by a car coming to his hay pile....well, guess what happened.  The guy was at the buck when the gammie arrived and asked if he could use his archery tag on the buck and was granted permission, so at least it won't go to waste...nice buck.

Not the story I heard norsepeak. I heard that the buck ended up going with the fish and game officer. Whoever found it was getting ready to cut the head off when a state trooper showed up. The state trooper then called fish and game and they came out and picked it up. I will do some checking and see what I can find out. I am in law enforcement as well so give me a few days but I will find out.

That was the same story I heard Elkslayer.  They told me that the game officer let the kid take his picture with it and then took the deer into custody.

if they did take it, you could imagine this guy will be on the side of the road catching suckers trying to kill him. it would be real hard for a poacher to pass up a shot on a deer like this.

That is a hell of a big buck..too bad getting hit by a car is how he had to go!

The story probably went like this   

Spotted this buck in the middle of a blacktop clear-cut. Hit it with 5,500lbs of energy at 65MPH using 31” rubber bullets. He didn’t go down right away so it took a back up shot at 25MPH. He’s a good eater, super tender.

All kidding aside it’s great to see it didn’t go to waste.

2  pages in and not a "Why would anyone want a rack that they didn't kill themself" or "I would never want a set of antlers that I didn't kill myself"    Great looking buck.  It is great to see what the NE corner of this state continues to produce.  A real shame someone couldn't have taken him with a gun or bow.

They get that big!? Damn!

I’m with you but as long as the story is told honestly. What would be wrong with pasting the rack on the wall?

You guys that heard the story on this buck, was it mentioned where abouts in PO county?

Love the internet gossip mill.  My bet is that was not even in WA.

See the WA plates on the car in the background?
