28 1/2" buck
« on: January 12, 2012, 07:58:09 AM »
I posted pictures of his sheds in the shed forum too.  Nice buck and should be better next year if the wolves or cats don't get him first.

Nice buck. But how do you really know how wide he is if he's not dead?

Figure 20" to the tips of the ears on a mature buck.  With the bases butted together it is still 24 1/2!  I do know how to read a tape measure also.

Everyone on this site is an official scorer and expert in their respective fields..... :chuckle: :chuckle:  Don't worry about how wide he is and just concentrate on killing him next year.  He is plenty wide enough to be on your wall.   

Thanks for posting the pics and good luck next year finding him.

i dont claim to be an official scorer..but 28" whitetail is unheard of and would rank towards the widest bucks ever killed in WA..maybe I should put up pics of a 28" wide muley

Nice buck jdurham.
My '98 NE WT buck is 25 1/2" wide.
This one's a solid 2" wider and probably closer to 3" with what is a similar frame and ear position.
From an amateur scorer who can read tape measure and make assumptions from a picture of course.  :chuckle:

With plenty of pictures a taxidermist will come pretty close on the mount.  Just hoping he makes it through the year.  Predators run rampant here in Washington.  Plenty of cats where I live.

A friend and I watched his Daddy in my field about 2 weeks ago with my spotlight.  Now that guy was big.  Never got in front of any of my cameras that night.  He was not social i guess!  Probably why he is big.

Not 18-20 on a whitetail, more like 16-18......

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.
