Jim, you were supposed to wait for the 190plus thread. :chuckle:
Link, you're going to have to wait several days until they get to the 240" thread:-)

My best buck from Wa only goes in the upper 150's. Hoping to change that someday because there are a few good ones here. Just need a tag.

I was gonna say the same thing. Also thinking that a 189 score on him seems a bit high... :o

Thanks Miles. Going to be hard for me to beat.I'd say so. However, if anyone can do it I would put my money on you.

And for those with not such a condensed measuring tape, a 170 buck lol

Kenetrek, those were certainly the old days. I bought the bow from my brother for 50 bucks. He was chasin tail and needed some gas money. There was no matching draw length or weight or any of that. String had been on it a decade. It was set at 55 pounds, max. The riser is made of gorgeous wood. Shiny though along with the limbs. I grabbed arrows out of a big bulk box, knew nothing of spine or weight. I practiced lots. My aluminum looked like corkscrews. I filled the quiver with the straightest ones. What drove me to finally hunt with it hard was I was in an internship that was brutal. I only had weekends to hunt. I,can't remember if this was before choosing a season or not. It was the beginning of an obsession. People are always out for the newest fastes. I was probably no fifferent at the time, but I had little coin. Check out that camo. It was just the beginning of the camo revolution. Funny thing, I still hunt in that shirt. 25 years later lol!!!

Definitely 180+ mule deer. :chuckle:

I think I've seen your buck before. Did you kill it with a bow in the Entiat before they made it a draw to hunt the late season?

Some very nice bucks! I missed my 180 last season :bash:, oh well I landed a 125 inch 4×4 whietail 2 hours later in the same area. As mentioned before it takes alot to reach 180"; mass, tine length, spread. A 180" mule deer truly represents Western Big Game to me.
Sounds like it's worth a thread of it's own? Got a story?
