If you have some nice whitetails from this state, do show and tell.  I took this one several years back towards Walla Walla.

My two best from the Kettle Falls area when I was a kid in the 80s.  Now I mostly hunt mulies.  Crap.  I think I had it backwards... should have been hunting mulies in the 80s at the tail end of the "good ole days... :chuckle:

I saw one at my taxidermists that the fronts actually cross with less than a sliver of clearance between 'em will see if I can get a pic later.

Wow, 11.5!!!!

That tells you something about the hunting pressure, terrain and deer numbers over there.  Not many places left in the entire country where a person can shot a deer that old.   

Here are my 2 from NE WA.  Shot 05,06 in the exact same spot the bigger of the two was tooth aged at 6.5 and the 4 point was 11.5.

Heres a few palouse bucks. Nothing real big but they put meat in the freezer.
The first pic is the double that Wazzuhunter and I got about an hour apart. As you can see Wazzuhunter made a good shot right through the bucks face.

I don't have a picture...when I was at WSU in the early 2000s, a classmate of mine nailed a 7x6 whitetail in the Spokane area. It had a 21" inside spread and scored 170+. It was by far the biggest whitetail set of antlers I had ever seen in person.

Here is my 08 late buck i got it north of colville. And no the gun is not pointing at me it is resting on the antlers. Shot kneeling at about 70 yds with an A-bolt II 325 WSM 220gr pp . I wish everyone else would include the type of rifle and ammo they were shooting.

Yea there are some bruisers up there.  The year I got this one I had seen two bigger bucks but they were on private ground that I couldnt get permission to hunt.  Even if I could have gotten permission it would have been hard to pass up this one at 75yrds standing broadside.

These are my best two Washington Whitetails.  I arrowed the first buck in 2002.  I hunted this buck for two seasons and had over 40 hours in the stand the second year.  It is an 8x7 that gross scored 153 6/8".  The second buck I arrowed in 2006.  It gross scored 143 3/8".

Thought I would past a picture of my Stepdad's biggest deer.  Shot it in 1982 in the Newport area.  I inherited it in 1994 when he passed away and just had it officially scored at the Tri-Cities Sportsmans Show last month.  Official was 188 1/8 net, so it made the books pretty comfortably (if not for the broken tine, it would have made the all-time book).  I still have to write a affidavit and send in the fee to get it entered in B&C since I didn't kill the deer, but it should be published in the 2010 book.  First pic is of my 10 year old holding the rack, second pic is "long armed" :chuckle:

You are right, it does.  I inherited all of my stepdad's racks when he passed, and I am working my way through them.  This guy's gonna be last though.  Don't want to tackle him til I know what I am doing.  Right now I am working on a 154" buck that he shot out from under me in 1989  :bash:  Still got about 3 to go before I do this one...

I'd love to see your pics. Post 'em up. Lots of folks know where one of those photos was taken, but that wasn't where those bucks were shot. I just ran down the road a couple miles from the house that day and snapped a few photos while on the way to hang those deer in the cooler. Actually, the biggest buck in the back of the Z71 was shot somewhat near there, though. Actually, I have some more whitetail photos, but I don't post them because they do give away the kill sites so they'll just stay in the vault. ;)

Thanks everyone for welcoming me to the site.

Bow4elk,

He did have a broken main beam on his left side.  It is hard to say if it turned down the same as the right main beam does.  He also had a large non-typical tine broken.  His official net non-typical score was 144 2/8".  He had 11 6/8" of abnormal points.  I posted another picture that shows the broken beam and tine better.

Good Huntin',

Wow. Lots of nice whitetail bucks coming out of the woodwork here. Welcome to the site Chad.

I heard that in the Palouse the bucks like to hide in the back of your pickup.... :P

And yeah, Pathfinder, you probably know that all you have to do is head for the Snake on the opener and park under a steep bank. Once that army of orange is in full march, a buck will eventually just fall right in the back of the pickup. All you gotta do then is get out and take a picture. It's awesome. In fact, I can't believe more guys don't head for the breaks on the opener. :chuckle:

Good idea.  I hunted it when I went to WSU.  Nothing like hearing what seems to be 100 gun shots before noon.  It's a wonder a buck lives past opening day on the breaks.  You find out real fast if your a bad shot, because your shot alearts the guys on the breaks then the hail of bullets start to fly as the deer is fleeing.  Best hit the dirt.

Easy on the Snake, I want to actually hunt this year instead of chasing down road hunters.  Our place is right on one of the main drags and it is a pain in the arse.....last year was actually nice - $4.00 gas made road hunting too expensive!

Hacksaw, one of my best friends farms the "big hill" in the background.  Thank god the big boys stay up there with you guys running around!  :chuckle:

Bowhunterforever,
  Sorry it took me so long to reply.  That's my modern buck from last year.  First year rifle hunting this state in about 12 years.  Thought I'd try something different.  We didn't see alot of bucks but did see a couple really nice ones.  This was the only one i had a real chance at because of all the private land up there.  It was the last day of the hunt, we had been there for 4 days.  The rut seemed to be starting just as the season was ending.  He was chasing a couple of does in a draw when I shot him at about 150 yards with my 260 Remington with 120 grain Ballistic tips.  He only took about 2 steps and piled up. I have to admit that it was pretty cool seeing how different the whities rut than the mulies, definetly seem to be alot more territorial with their scrapes and rubs.
Title: Re: Washington State Whitetails
Post by: Jackjr on June 22, 2009, 06:15:23 PM
I did actually did the mount myself.  Never really scored it but I would guess 90-100ish.
