Title: Big Methow buck.....anyone on here??
Post by: jrebel on October 23, 2023, 02:16:21 PM
Saw a picture from a gal I work with that claim the buck was taken in the Methow area.  Claims to be 35" spread, which is what the picture looked like.  Mass for days and just a monster of a buck.  Green Jeep.....

Anyone know of such buck and anyone want to share pictures.

A buddy showed me pictures taken by his friend who was camped next to the guy. I think the shooter was a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend. Absolute tank. I heard 36" spread. 35 or 36, I believe it.

It was in the Methow.

Yep that’s it - have a few pics of it and it’s a tank and yes that’s where it came from

Post by: Ridgerunner on October 23, 2023, 03:36:44 PM
That thing is a TANK and has very similar genetics to another big methow buck that was killed a few years back if I remember correctly.  I think that one a member had a trail cam pic of too.

I have a photo of it on the hood of the green Jeep but will wait to see if the shooter is on here and cares if it's posted.  Hunting partners and I were in the same area when it was taken.  Heavy horned stud.

Once again, congratulations to the hunter. I just got a call from a guy my son played ball with down in Oklahoma wanting to know if it was one of our bunch! Oklahoma!!!! Man, loose lips ring a bell?🤣 I feel sorry for anybody that hunts within a 10 mile radius of where this buck was killed, start making reservations or put up your dummy camps as soon as the snow melts. Oklahoma!!!!!!!!

No worries, that place will be a ghost town next year.  Everyone I talk to say this was the last monarch to exist in the methow.  People will move on to greener pastures as there are clearly no more deer in that valley.

I haven’t seen any OnX maps posted yet.  Don’t get me wrong…..I hate the internet as it pertains to most things and especially believe it is what has given antis traction to destroy our hunting……but every year someone gets a great buck and pics get posted!!  I have yet to see a mass migration to those grounds by other hunters hoping to find its brother. 

Am I that naive to think most people aren’t going to change their hunting camp because this pic got posted??

No. Most people won’t move their camps to the methow next year as a result of this buck.
There are quality animals killed in Washington every year that get posted all over social media. The pics that get posted here pale in comparison to the pics posted on Facebook and Instagram anymore. I don’t believe those photos cause any kind of camp migration. Maybe they’ll cause increases in special permit applications but not general season changes.

I have a photo of it on the hood of the green Jeep but will wait to see if the shooter is on here and cares if it's posted.  Hunting partners and I were in the same area when it was taken.  Heavy horned stud.

I heard a giant came out of the 290, 200"er. Was that your dad by chance? I have not seen any pics.

Unfortunately, no not yet, he's spent a week there each month.  I'm heading back with him the 1-17th so hopefully something turns up.  Will keep an eye out for photos.

He'd be happy with one on this post for sure.  We got to see it at the guy's camp and was pretty amazing.

It is a small world when you think about it.

Another stud buck taken out of the Methow.

There have been many, yet with current situations, it makes them fewer and fewer.

A trophy of a lifetime.  :tup:

I grew up pumping gas at the family Shell station.  Every once in awhile Idabooner would let me slip off and go hunt.   :chuckle: Every year some amazing animals came through.   The potential is there obviously.  Generally it seemed like the biggest went to some random bloke road hunting and often times their first time hunting.  I always said I’d rather be lucky than good.   I have no idea what the case is here, but what a nice buck.    Those are the kind of bucks that make you go back I even if the odds aren’t good.   Congratulations to the Hunter.   Some late tag holder “got robbed” lol

I've never heard of the shady hunts. Back in the good old days? I wouldn't know. No judgments here or there. Either way, very large bucks that were very worthy, just as this colossus is!

Glad to hear that you remember Vic. I think there was a post here, or on one of the other posts about this buck, and how it may have had similar genetics to another buck posted two years ago or so. It was another five if I recollect correctly. Cheers!

Not surprised haha.

Fred was a family friend, and a character indeed. We met him when he was working the gravel pit in Conway, he stayed at my dad's place a couple of those years when I was away at college.

After Fred passed away my dad and I purchased his place on Wrong Road off his family. We are keeping the camp going but I think it's a little tamer these days. We also hang fewer deer.

The mounts in that place now are much less impressive...
