Post by: jackelope on December 06, 2013, 11:28:09 AM: It's all over Facebook. At what point does permission to post a picture become a moot point? I've seen it shared/commented on/etc 4 times on my FB feed just this morning.

We're talking about the whitetail, right?

WA sure is a sleeper state when it comes to big deer. Not as many bucks as some of the other well known deer meccas but every year there sure seems to be some bruisers produced. Congrats to the hunter.
:yeah: I seem to think the same thing each fall. Some real big, neat deer appear each year, some on cams others just like this with some lucky or really good dedicated hunter next to them :tup:. Just another great benefit of this site.

Title: Re: 204 Inch Typical From Washington
Post by: Hangfire on December 07, 2013, 07:30:47 AM: This buck was taken by a friend of mine. He sent me a e-mail with picture. Part of what he had to say was" I am proud that no bait was involved getting this buck. He was setting in a place between two bedding areas and near some scrapes. The buck was chasing a doe for 45 minutes around him before he got a shot. The buck and doe were being chased by another nice buck". He sent the following about the antlers. Width 21 inches, beam length 24 inches, 13 scoreable points, brow tines 8 inches. He is not sure how to score it and has come with gross scores between 188 and 198. Earlier in the season he rattled in a very tall buck but a spike charged in and spooked it. Glad that happened know.

He is a very competent archery hunter with elk and nice bucks in the past. A few years ago while on his knees rattling he called a cougar into closer than 10 yards. He shot the cougar through the bridge of nose, out throat into chest. He though the cat was going to jump him.

He lives in the Colville area. I don't know where he got the buck, and wouldn't say if I did, he hunts many areas.

With most bucks you can get close by using the pictures...seen it time and time again once they were on the ground....but I have also misjudged a few...but not ground shrinkage...more like they were bigger than I thought.

Thanks for more details on the story. I would say he is in the right range with 188-198.. I had him around 195 gross from the photos...though it's hard to say without every angle....every score I heard prior to this was 204-208.

Sometimes its really not rocket science.
A 150 whitetail is a great buck. A 160 is a giant, a 180 is a gagger, and 200 well....
Just keeping it real.

I agree, and will also add that a 140" whitetail is a fantastic whitetail as well.

The left side of that buck has 200 written all over it. I don't know what you mean by short tines. The right side, I assumed you probably couldn't see it all in the picture.

Looking at the right side, it is definitely not a 200 inch deer, but still huge.

Good story, like i said in an earlier post. Maybe 190. Great buck. If youve seen enough good bucks its not hard to give a good estimate on score if its a decent picture. I cant wait for people to finally realize what it takes to make a 200" buck.

He ran the Colville Fish Hatchery for years, in fact he's on our advisory board for the fish hatchery. According to Rich Landers story, Ebel said the buck scored about 186. Funny how people change the story. Totally awesome buck! :tup:

Title: Re: 204 Inch Typical From Washington
Post by: DBHAWTHORNE on December 14, 2013, 10:13:35 AM: From those pics it's hard to get an accurate score. Preferably you would want a direct side profile of both sides and a straight on...once it grows non-typical points you may need more angles.. Typically on those bigger bucks the best you can hope for is within 10 inches....from those pics (which are not optimum for scoring) on the conservative side I would have him at 185 but I can see 195..I kept hearing 204 - 208 which also probably skewed my bias.. Was still not able to come up with 200+ no matter how I looked at it (but could have been possible that I was misjudging something). There is one thing glaringly apparent from those pics: That buck is exceptional. No score needed to see that.

Glad a respectable man killed him. Congrats to the hunter!

It happens.. When its taken by a respectable hunter it makes it easier to swallow.

I located a nice buck and hiked a buddy in to get him with his late tag this year, got him within 225 yards two days in a row and he missed both times, broadside, my tripod as a rest while he sat. :chuckle:

The whitetail potential in this state is off the charts. Amazing bucks for sure.

This.

I've been telling my wetside buddies for 20 years that the state record lives in Stevens County.
