Rumor of one buck is he went 30-34 inches wide and the other was super heavy. This rumor started with a co-worker that just picked his deer up from the butcher.

The one on the left has to be a new State record!
Sorry, not a chance. It's forks aren't deep enough and it doesn't have enough mass. I can tell you for fact after looking at that 1 photo its not a state record.
The one on the right is probably pushing 400 pounds though

I disagree Cedar....when a toad is bedded you can not get a good look at the animals mass. In order to properly estimate mass in the field one must measure foreleg + girth + width between the eyes + rear leg lenght when extended. This is clearly a trophy animal to the learned eye...you need to spend more time in the field judging them when they are not bedded down.
That's total hogwash H2O. Even though he's bedded, you can clearly see that his mouth is barely wider than his eyes - which anyone that's spent even minimal time field scoring trophy toads knows is a good indicator of trophy potential.
Look at the guy on the right - huge mouth, way beyond his eyes. Absolute toad. He makes the guy on the left look like a tadpole

Clearly sir you are wrong. However....I appreciate your attempt....we should have a beer sometime and continue the discussion.

I won't concede defeat until I see the official score sheet. Even then, I'll disregard that. I need to see this one in person. Then I'll still disregard it.
I will however join you for a beer anytime :tup:
:chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: nice one Cedar and in defense of your field scoring knowledge the one on the left appears to be long arming it by leaning backwards. :dunno:

Agreed Plateau. Total long arm job right there.
:chuckle: I am confused. Is the girth of the foreleg or girth around the toads midsection. Plus shouldn't one consider using a scoring system that accounts for possible short rear legs that have tons of mass to them, that seems to be most important when judging a trophy toad.
They tried that once but did away with it once hoof rot became prevalent in toads on the west side
Post by: Buckmark on November 09, 2012, 11:51:59 AM
Are these green scores, or do we have to wait for a drying period?
Post by: CedarPants on November 09, 2012, 11:55:57 AM
Are these typical or non typical toads, SCI, Boone and croaket or??

One on the right is typical. Non-typ on the left though, you can clearly see some junk in the form of a dropper on his right side.
Neither of them make Boone & Croaket though. I just don't see it :twocents:

I can't continue with you amatures.......Buckmark asking if they are "green" scored.......it's a fricking trophy toad!!! What else would they be but green. Nobody counts the brown ones as even worthy.....sheesh....
We are in agreement here H2O.
That was just poor form Buckmark. Green scored? Ever seen a toad brown scored? I sure as heck haven't.

Run, that first one is clearly Jaba the Hut. I can't believe you would try to pass that off as a trophy toad harvested in Washington.:chuckle: clearly Australian high fence

I also think they were poached, look a the eyes, you can tell if they were taken at night with artificial light.....

Nice Buck!! BTW, I saw his big brother this weekend while scouting in Entiat for my late season archery tag. I saw him at 300 yards w/naked eye and thought, "What the heck is an elk doing over here." Put the binos on him and he was the biggest buck I've EVER seen...anywhere!

Is it legal to bait toads in WA? :dunno:
yes. The toad in my avatar was baited late season. Tough to bring a toad in to a bait in daylight though.

His orange buck teeth meet state requirements....he just needs to smile. However he did forget to tag the thing emmediately.
Post by: Jonathan_S on November 12, 2012, 03:13:35 PM
That's a hell of a toad there Jonathan!!!
thanks man. He finally stood still long enough to take that picture. Baiting is tougher than still hunting, catching a batch of flies is no easy task
