I was fortunate enough to kill a great WA buck earlier this week. After four days of rather tough hunting, I was able to find, and close the deal on this great buck. Spotted him from a mile away, poor wind conditions, a lot of walking, and four hours later, I was able to find him bedded back where I started. I was able to get to under 200 yards from him as he stood up out of his bed, unaware of me, and able to get a good shot into him. One more for insurance, and he was down for good. He is going to gross right about 243 and net around 235. :chuckle:
If this was the buck I saw today from my step dad in my email, then it's an absolute monster. I won't say what unit it was in unless the poster wants it known, though I doubt he'll ever draw the tag again haha. Great buck, and congratulations to the hunter.

Thanks everyone. By the way Scotty, he was facing to the right! :chuckle: He was by no means taken advantage of. Just a little more info. He is very, very massive as you can see. More than 48" of mass, with 25" on one side. His frame is about 203, and he is 27" outside. It is bigger than anything I could have hoped for or even dreamt of.GOOD ANSWER :tup: Totally Bad ASS buck :drool: :drool: I don't know you, but I'm happy for ya. Nice work!

What the hell he think he was a Moose damn!!!!
What GMU? I'm guessing you had either a Desert GMU special permit, or a 4-0 Ranch special permit. Congrat's! That is by far the nicest buck I have seen shot in WA in my 36 years. I have seen a lot of nice one, but that buck has awesome character and mass. Definately not too many of those around in WA.

Is this the buck you were telling me about? What a stud!
Congrats Link, now you should just stop hunting deer in this state because everything else you have an opportunity to harvest is just going to be a dink. :chuckle:

Thanks again TGray! You know we have to work on getting you a big buck and me a big bull now! :chuckle:. I'm not sure what's "weird" about that either link, maybe they have never left the road and don't know what it is like to cut a animal up and pack it 4-5 miles! Or they just want something to bitch about. Either way I don't really care I had a great time and would've drove 10 hours if I had too. And I'm not picky link, I would be happy with a 185" buck like you got last year.Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy! Great Job link and thanks for letting me help with the pack out!

Buck is truly amazing in person. Curious as to if anyone knows how much mass the heaviest buck ever killed in Washington had? This buck is probably in the running. The Washington record book and B&C only list the first mass measurement in their lists. You have to see the entire score sheet to know.Not sure about the biggest, but this one killed by my great grandpa had 41" of mass. It was in the top ten when we had it entered.

WOW ..Good job :tup: Did you shoot it in the eye ? Or was that from fighting ?The eye was all closed up and full of puss. They eyeball itself still looked ok, but it had a big gash on the top of the eyelid and was closed. After I got home, I talked with some guys who had seen the buck a couple of weeks ago and had some pictures through their spotting scope. In the pics you can see he had a little 6" or so dropper that came off that mess of points on his right base. I assume he got his eye poked and that dropper broken off in a fight. I'm not complaining about missing 6" though! :chuckle:

Im sure the sheds were picked up as soon as they hit the dirt so lets not all jump on I-90 and head east for any extra weekend adventures. That was the only 200" buck in the unit and now he is gone. Better head to yakima for sheds now.
Congrats to the hunter!! Glad to hear it was earned!!!

Maybe none of you have heard of boneworms. Little know fact that a single boneworm can eat up to 2 lbs of bone a day!!!! Recent studies from the local biologists have shown that that the boneworm population in the desert unit has multiplied significantly over the years. They estimate upwords of 50,000 of them in the 20 by 20 mile radius. With the growing numbers of boneworms in the desert no horn stands a chance of laying more than 2-3 minutes tops. Now if you have a good roping horse you might be able to pull off an antler or two but that is about your only chance anymore.
