A permit hunt, is what I read, and there's only one permit I know of where orange is required while archery hunting. So I think I know the unit but could be wrong. Great buck, especially for an archery hunt. That permit just got a lot harder to draw! He should have taken photos without the orange vest!

That is a great buck. I would love to get a chance at one if that caliber. Congratulations to the hunter and yes, i wish he wouldnt have taken his pic with his vest on...keep in mind that there are also plenty of master hunter areas open for elk during that time and you are required to wear hunter orange in those areas as well...

Very nice buck, and a hearty congratulations to the hunter!

That said, it definitely has great mass but I doubt it's nowhere close to as big as some might otherwise believe.  Please understand I don't want to take anything at all away from this person's archery success, but I would be stunned if this fine specimen went over 200". The tape never fibs, but camera lenses all too often do.  ;)  Hopefully he'll bring it by an SCI measuring booth so it can get full credit for all the cool bone it grew and not suffer from the deduction nonsense that some of the other scoring organizations push.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! I am going to work on writing a story here soon but it was a very difficult hunt and was a true testament to not giving up. I scouted this deer for a month and was able to harvest him on the 10th day of the hunt after having some blown stalks and not being able to get close enough multiple times. He was smart and often times I thought man I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to get this buck! But I just stuck with it and feel thankful and honored to even have a chance at harvesting this buck. I was able to slip by two does and get within 41 yards of him in his bed, got drawn back, stepped out from behind the sagebrush and he stood up as I was locked in on my 40 yard pin. I let er fly and my arrow dissapeared in the perfect spot double lung behind the shoulder. I waited almost an hour to be sure and he was piled up about 250 yards from where I shot . My buddy Trevor guided me into the bushes he last saw him in and as I approached I couldn't believe my eyes. We knew he was huge but had no idea he was as giant as he was. Greatest hunt, buck, and hunting moment of my life. Only bad thing is it's all down hill from here! 😅 lol. He was scored by my taxidermist who is an official WA State scorer it green grossed at 234 7/8ths and with only 3 inches of deductions put him at a net of 231 7/8ths. Of course have to wait for the drying period for it have an official score. I couldn't be more thankful!

But I just stuck with it and feel thankful and honored to even have a chance at harvesting this buck. I was able to slip by two does and get within 41 yards of him in his bed, got drawn back, stepped out from behind the sagebrush and he stood up as I was locked in on my 40 yard pin. I let er fly and my arrow dissapeared in the perfect spot double lung behind the shoulder. I waited almost an hour to be sure and he was piled up about 250 yards from where I shot . My buddy Trevor guided me into the bushes he last saw him in and as I approached I couldn't believe my eyes. We knew he was huge but had no idea he was as giant as he was. Greatest hunt, buck, and hunting moment of my life. Only bad thing is it's all down hill from here! 😅 lol. He was scored by my taxidermist who is an official WA State scorer it green grossed at 234 7/8ths and with only 3 inches of deductions put him at a net of 231 7/8ths. Of course have to wait for the drying period for it have an official score. I couldn't be more thankful!

Congrats again man! I have been nothing but impressed with this buck. You have killed a one of a kind deer!

This buck is truly a trophy of a life time!!!!  Do you know the age of the deer roughly???  Did you get a look at his teeth?  His coloring on his face makes him look on the young side.  Hard to see if he has a big roman nose with the straight on pictures.  I would love to see a side profile picture of his head.  Cool buck with tons of character and mass!  Every hunters dream!!!  Especially with the difficulty you had getting him with multiple blown stalks and many days time to get him.  At the time it was frustrating for you but the memories will be forever!  If you just got out and shot him on the first easy stalk it wouldn't be as memorable as all the hard work you put in to get him!  Well Done!!!!!

Thank you again, I still haven't heard back from the biologist that has two of his teeth, but the taxidermist guessed he was 8 1/2 to 9 1/2 years old, and yes he has a big Roman nose, horns were so big it kind of made it hard to tell how big his body was. Hanging weight at the butcher with the head, hide, legs, and everything else off was 175lbs....So on the hoof he was maybe pushing that 300lb mark...? IDK but he had a huge body too

I would say he has probably lived his entire life out there but it's hard to say with all the fires and such who knows....

Anyone seen a pic or know anything on the #1 nontypical. I'm a Lewis County resident, west side of I-5, and I know for a while the blacktail that was listed as #1 was killed in the county, I think it may be #3 now or something, but I had no idea the #1 non-typical mule deer was a Lewis County buck as well?

Just curious if anyone knew?
