Title: 230 on the nose
Post by: link on January 25, 2013, 06:10:33 PM: Well my buck officially is a net boone and crockett non typical buck. It netted 230 even, grossing over 239. The frame nearly netted enough to make all time book also at 188 6/8. Would have been pretty cool to have a buck that could be entered into the all time book as typical or non typical. I'm not complaining :chuckle:

Post by: link on January 25, 2013, 09:42:21 PM: I didn't see too many. They had a few back behind the table, nothing too big, and then a few on display. There was one 200" buck from WA, black powder I believe.

Title: Re: 230 on the nose
Post by: Todd_ID on January 25, 2013, 10:13:34 PM: Looking through the current printed copy of the Washington Big Game Records Book it looks like your buck will be #14 all time in the state and the largest taken since 1985; the #13 buck was 231-3/8 taken in 1985, and the next most recent was 1971 of those scoring above yours. We see some monster bucks on here from time to time, but yours is a truly special one. Congrats! :tup:

Post by: link on January 28, 2013, 06:48:23 PM: No, there were two bigger bucks there. The tripod burn buck and an old buck from the 60's from Idaho that got first I think.

Post by: link on January 28, 2013, 09:26:22 PM: Thanks for all the nice comments! When that tripod burn buck was posted on here, 220-230 was thrown out there, and I'm sure was assumed to be the gross score. Either they were posting a net score, or they just underscored it a bit. A very impressive buck for sure, up close especially. I kind of wanted to get a picture with the guy and his buck there, but there was quite a crowd gathered around him.

Well I'll tell you what Link, even though your buck was not the largest this year, you got a one in a million buck that anyone that hunts deer would be proud of, congrats again! :tup:

That's what I have been thinking. Same thing happened with rookie quarterbacks in the NFL this year. Who would have thought three "once in a lifetimes" in the same year.

Post by: link on April 03, 2013, 08:15:20 PM: Here is an update on my buck. Kind of an interesting piece of information. I just received word on the age of the buck. He was tooth aged at..........4 1/2 years. I knew it wasn't a real old buck, but I didn't expect him to be that young. Pretty amazing that it was only his fourth set of antlers. I don't know, what do you guys think. Do you think he could have kept growing for three, four more years?

I sometimes question the 100% accuracy of their system. They said my daughters 4x3 whitetail was 1 year old. :dunno:

Post by: winshooter88 on April 05, 2013, 08:56:03 PM: A few years ago in the same area as the tripod fire we saw two buck the day before archery opened that we thought were elk at first, there are some really good genetics out there. We looked for a week but never saw those two bucks again.
Title: Re: 230 on the nose
Post by: carpsniperg2 on April 05, 2013, 08:57:51 PM: Indeed it makes me wonder. I really can't see a buck like that only being 4.5. I am not a expert by any means on aging a deer. That being said I have hand my hands on more then a few deer and my gut and the looks of that deer with the face and build and mass really tell me that he should be older then that.

It's hard to tell link but how many points did he have?
Title: Re: 230 on the nose
Post by: link on April 05, 2013, 09:21:02 PM: I think their way of aging them from the incisors is pretty accurate from what I've heard. Don't they slice one and count rings or something like that?
He had 10 on one side and 12 on the other. He actually had a drop tine broken off. There was a picture of the buck taken a couple weeks before I shot him that showed him with a 6-8" dropper off that gob of junk on his right side.
Title: Re: 230 on the nose
Post by: carpsniperg2 on April 05, 2013, 09:24:12 PM: I think I remember that with your other thread. Cool stuff! You have him at the taxi for a shoulder mount right?

If I shot a buck like that the wife would kill me because it would get life sized!

I'm not really looking forward to the day I have to take him the antlers. :chuckle: Though, I guess that would mean the mount would be not too far from being done. It will be worth the wait from what I've seen.
