Title: Huge Stevens County Whitetail?
Post by: FTS on November 26, 2012, 08:39:07 PM
I heard a rumor from Colville about a true monster, a potential state record that may have been shot a couple weeks ago or less.  Rumor was high 190s to 203.  Forgive me if this is common knowledge and has been posted about previously. Anybody?

Never heard about it and I was over at Big R today in Colville and they would of mentioned it. Don't believe it without pictures and hard facts. I hear this stuff all the time about these monsters around Stevens and Ferry counties.  :dunno: It's always a big rumor mill during hunting seasons.

The recorded state record typical is 200 3/8 and the state record non-typical is 236 5/8. If there are any whitetail bucks bigger than that then I haven't seen them. The non-typical record would be much more likely to be surpassed than the typical.
Title: Re: Huge Stevens County Whitetail?
Post by: MtnMuley on November 27, 2012, 08:28:08 AM
I've found several sides to the the same buck that would challenge the state typical record had either side matched.  Sad thing was, that together, they fall short. ;)

I've seen one that would easily surpass the record.   Came inches from having him on film.   It will haunt me forever.  Spent $500 in gas headed to and fro to look for his sheds.   NOTHING but a memory.   Now all I can do is hope one of his kids shows up, and one might have this year.

Since that was my first post and I'm not burdened by the cliques and hilarious inside jokes on this blog, I asked a sincere question. My mistake.  I have first-hand reports from guys at Clark's in Colville.  Bearpaw should be able to confirm it, as should anyone at Clark's.  They reportedly pulled a tooth from that deer.

Typical or non-typical? If it was typical and easily surpassed the record then it was likely a world record. I have definitely seen some giant typical frames from Stevens County. The thing that always hurts their net score is the non-typical points (not that I would care if I ever killed one of them).
 
Title: Re: Huge Stevens County Whitetail?
Post by: boneaddict on November 27, 2012, 07:52:38 PM
Typical.  I thought it would beat the hanson buck by a MILE.   I was watching a pretty good sized whitetail.  Rattled him in.   Then all of a sudden I see this tree getting hammered, then I see bone, then he takes a swip at the "little" buck.   Seems like I have photos of it on here.    He had the dimensions of the one I posted this year but tines were about 12 inches longer each.   SCARY BIG........

I keep... coming .. back to this... thread  :). I've hunted alot in Stevens county. Wouldn't doubt if there were dozens of world class typicals nontypicals etc over the years. I do think alot of them die of old age before ever being seen by a hunter. Sometimes I'd wish all the trees and brush would disappear for a day or so just so I could see some of those ghosts lurking haha

What are the records? About 200 for typ and 235 for non-typ?? (going off memory here)

Its amazing that anything in WA could even come close, but from what we've seen and heard, it could happen!!! I hope its one of you hard ass hunters on here that finds him!

Post by: nwwanderer on November 28, 2012, 08:11:58 AM
Like Bone, I have seen one south of Stevens county.  He was with a 140 class buck before the rut and absolutely dwarfed him.  No sheds found after serious search.  I was not close enough for a B&C guess.  170 is as high as I would guess for bucks around this year.

I passed through Colville today and stopped by les Schwab's.  They already took down all the photos but I asked the lady(so take this with a grain of salt) if they had a picture of a record caliber buck and she said one didn't come to mind.  So then I drove over to Clark's.  I asked the guy there the same question.  He said there was a big one taken there during the late rifle. Asked if he had a picture of it...turns out he did.  Showed me a picture of the buck posted above(not the same picture, but same buck). I pulled up this thread and did a side by side comparison with the picture on this post and the picture he had,  it was def the same buck. The guy acted like he knew what he was talking about. He said he thought it would gross in the high 190's.

I hesitate getting into any scoring debates and the flexi tape around here.  Nice buck but far from Superbuck(score wise).   I bet I saw 5 bucks this fall bigger than him alone(whities).  They don't stand around and ask for autographs though.   Don't take my post as negative.   That is a beautiful buck and I would be happy as all get out to have tagged it.

 :yeah:

I have no doubt Bone's words are true....and impressive..I spend roughly 400 hours a year in the field scouting for whitetail in addition to 20+ cameras sitting over licking branches, minerals and feed in four different counties and in various locations within those counties... My personal best is knowing the location of 3-4 180+ bucks in a season... and that doesn't happen every year.

Speaking of Les Schwab buck stories....
google "Afton, Wyoming Big O Tires facebook".  go to their facebook pictures page of the Big Buck Contest they have every year.  Frickin nuts.

This year I blew a trailor tire in the area and stopped by to have it fixed.  They got some Real wall hangers.  The owner was telling me he had over 30 bucks 200" plus this year.
They have a 41" wide buck from a couple years ago (no stickers...frame).

Sorry for the thread jack..couldn't help it.

Speaking of Les Schwab buck stories....
google "Afton, Wyoming Big O Tires facebook".  go to their facebook pictures page of the Big Buck Contest they have every year.  Frickin nuts.

This year I blew a trailor tire in the area and stopped by to have it fixed.  They got some Real wall hangers.  The owner was telling me he had over 30 bucks 200" plus this year.
They have a 41" wide buck from a couple years ago (no stickers...frame).

Sorry for the thread jack..couldn't help it.

Just checked it out..some awesome bucks!

Holly smokes there are some unbelievable bucks up on there, but holly LONG ARM.  Must be part of the protocol.

no kidding..."Long Arm" must of been part of the theme.

However, 30 bucks, 1/2 way thru the fall over 200".....Awesome.   He said a majority of the bucks came from within 15 miles of the store. However, you get to the high country in a hurry.  (15 miles as the crow flies, is about an 1.5hr drive to start hiking 10 miles :P)
