We had a biggest forked buck thread earlier in the year and there were some dandy bucks on it

Big spike elk.  I shot at one like that years ago in the Colockum, shot right over his back when I first started bow hunting, missed judged the yardage.  His spikes almost touch each other at the top.

I saw a heavy horned buck in the Sinlahekin last year that had about 14" forks with eyeguards that was pushing 30" wide.  He was one of those big beer belly bucks that was twice the size of the three 3-points he was with.  I had the rut permit and thought I could do better but in hindsight, I should have shot him.  That was the biggest forked horn I've seen.

Dam Phool I think I would notch a quality tag on that forked horn! He looks like a giant.
