Post by: jackelope on December 28, 2012, 05:07:43 PM: The guy with the 3 deer raffle tag killed a nice whitetail, a big heavy palmated non typical muley and last I heard was still looking for a blacktail but that was maybe 2 weeks ago.

I guess the question would be "why is he hunting in Entiat?" :chuckle:

Title: Re: Gov Tag?
Post by: ianwood76 on January 14, 2013, 01:01:11 PM: Why would he be hunting the Entiat? well there isnt very many other places that have huge bucks. The guy with the tag knew what he was doing and thats why he shot a *censored* buck. not in the Entiat though.

Is *censored* synonymous with Big, Huge, Boone & Crockett, Small, Dink, Masher, Hog, Toad, 2 Point or ???

Post by: carpsniperg2 on January 15, 2013, 03:39:38 PM: Not that it matters and they are both great animals. But do you know the scores on them phool? I always just like to know to try and improve my ability to score deer.

Officially no, I don't think either would actually score well but it wouldn't matter a bit to me anyway, they both would look great on the wall. :tup:

Post by: jjhunter on January 15, 2013, 03:45:41 PM: The second one is tough, Carp. I remember guessing it at around 180", but it has a bunch of scorable around the bases.
Title: Re: Gov Tag?
Post by: RaffleMule on January 15, 2013, 03:49:19 PM: I'm fairly certain Tony's was around 206'.........Definitely deceiving pic. Someone should be able to correct me but I think outside spread was 34' or 36' and the bases were the size of a beer can. I Mark had the sheds from the prior year and can verify. It also had around 11 scoreable points at the bases so it made the score higher than it looks.
Title: Re: Gov Tag?
Post by: jrebel on January 15, 2013, 03:58:40 PM: Both those bucks are huge. My buck this year went 28ish and those are a lot wider. Easily 30" plus bucks. Congrats and thanks for sharing. :tup: :tup:

Title: Re: Gov Tag?
Post by: whackmaster 93 on January 15, 2013, 05:47:39 PM: the first picture wasnt the gov. tag holder this year the second picture is the buck he got a few years ago with the gov. tag and he had it again this year.
Title: Re: Gov Tag?
Post by: Kazekurt on January 15, 2013, 06:52:56 PM: Nice bucks! No shame in taking those brutes! Do you have any cool stories about the hunt? How many days did you spend hunting with that tag? How hard was it to walk away from other monsters you saw? I can imagine its quite excruciating deciding when to pull the trigger. The coolest thing about a governers tag would be the # of days you get to be out there! I've had the multi tag a couple times and had to almost talk myself into shooting as its hard to punch the tag with so many thrills and memories possibly still out there! Governers tag would be my experience exponentially multiplied! Congrats again to the hunter.

Post by: whackmaster 93 on January 15, 2013, 08:58:06 PM: thats just what i heard from my dad since my dad talks to tony everyday because he is his boss and he saw the buck when he got home. and that fist picture that got posted definately is not tony.
Title: Re: Gov Tag?
Post by: jackelope on January 15, 2013, 09:13:47 PM: I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure Tony didn't have the tag this year which is why the 1st pic is the auction tag buck and why its not Tony. Correct me if I'm off base here.
Title: Re: Gov Tag?
Post by: whackmaster 93 on January 15, 2013, 09:24:53 PM: im positive he had it this year because he had everyone come over to his brothers meat shop next to his compoany shop to look at the horns when he got back from the hunt. i will see if my dad can get a picture of the buck and i will put it up on here. i guess its a cranker.
Title: Re: Gov Tag?
Post by: jackelope on January 15, 2013, 09:30:43 PM: I know he was hunting with the guy but I didn't think he had the tag.

I could be wrong but that's the way I understood it from a buddy.

Oh yes for sure both are great animals for sure and in no way am I trying to take away from them. I would not do something like that. I just try and learn as I go and see many new types of racks. Both those deer are a little more funky then the typical easy to score 4 point.

The second one is tough, Carp. I remember guessing it at around 180", but it has a bunch of scorable around the bases.

Yes for sure I was going to guess 170's but you are probably closer with a guess of 180.
