Title: Have ya seen him?
Post by: eliandsky on January 10, 2021, 08:20:17 PM: Long shot but was hoping to get an actual pic of this buck. If you killed this guy let me know. I have a few years of sheds on this guy. Love to actually see a picture of him. With the later dates snow n early rut I’m sure some one took him in general or late archery.

PM me if you have a lead on him. Thanks Hunt Wa

Post by: eliandsky on January 10, 2021, 08:36:57 PM: I’m really just looking for alignment on the antlers. If you killed him he’s with in a mile or two from where I’ve found his last antlers. I’ve found last two sets within 100 yards from the previous year. I’m pretty sure he was killed. Congrats to the guy who did.

Post by: eliandsky on January 10, 2021, 08:56:21 PM: Like more cheaters? He has 5. I’ve not personally seen G1s like his. They’re bladed w mass. Not a lot of 4x3s but who knows. But I think if he’s on your wall and you killed him in WA hes a pretty special buck. Just don’t know if he’s 27/28 or closer to 30.

Heard there was a 180+ killed in the unit. Figured it was him.

He was with a boat load of does and couldnt get close enough for an ethical shot. I will pm the gmu , but unfortunately only have the picture in my memories.

I've seen several harvested bucks and sheds over the last 20 years from multiple Chelan County GMUs with similar bladed G1s and stickers. I don't know this buck or who killed him.

I think the bases of the antlers would have been a bit wider than how you have it set. The large antlered mule deer skulls I've seen personally-- the bases appeared to be further apart than that.

Edit: Not a biologist, not an expert etc. just :twocents:

Post by: blindluck on January 13, 2021, 10:59:59 AM: Some of the bigger bucks we have killed comparable have been anywhere from 2 3/4 inches to 3 1/4 inches measuring across from burr to burr At their closest points. A couple of the bigger heavier ones are right at 3 inches

I have an extra cape and trade with him so I figured why not!!! I don’t see much bigger in there.

I agree with you. Also I think G1s tipped in and think they should be straight up. It’s on a prosthetic skull so only so much you can do there. Either way this is basically for fun. Thanks for the input
