That was an old deer, wasn't too many winters left for him.
:yeah:
Look at that roman nose. Really dig the dark blaze on his chest too. I would not care a lick what he scores - that is one impressive animal.

Skookum - I'm afraid the story is much less exciting than the results. I think if I recall correctly his hunt was over within an hour of opening day. No field pics as his camera battery was dead! >:( These are also his pictures. I'll try and get some more pics of my own !
Kball - Ok he just told me the deer was over 8.5 yrs, aging tool only went that far.

What GMU was it taken? Aren't too many places left for a deer to get 8.5+ years old.GMU? Heck, as long as were asking I'd like the GPS Coordinates of the kill site. :chuckle:

Hmmm. Big, wide three pt. I'm guessing desert
He said it was a general season deer.

Also, he noticed a couple references to it being a 3 point, and thought because of the angle some folks didn't notice the 4th point on the right side.
And thanks for the comments ! He's a "shoot the first legal" type of hunter, and this one just happened to be the first one he saw! :)

I don't know what some of you are talking about. We have some HUGE mule deer in Washington State. Maybe if some of you would take the time to get your lazy butts off of your 4 wheelers and actually hunt, you might harvest some deer like this once in awhile. With that being said that is a nice buck and congradulations to the hunter who shot him. :tup:Huh? ONE persone mentioned that it was a great buck for WA. That was Boneaddict. I don't know him, but from the posts I've seen over the years, I would bet he doesn't spend much time on top of an atv while hunting, and I know he knows there are some big deer in WA.

Nice mount and a handsome buck. Would put that on my wall with pride. Congrats to the shooter!

The fourth can clearly be seen, no matter, he is certainly one beautiful buck no matter what GMU or state he's from.
Much congrat's to the hunter/taxidermist!
