Title: Raffle Buck from a Few Years Ago
Post by: MuleDeerCrazy on October 12, 2009, 07:55:18 PM: Most of you have probably seen this one, but for those of you that haven't... here's a WA bruiser. I was down to the wire, figured I'd end up eating the tag, but even a blind hog gets an acorn once in a while - I'd rather be lucky than good anyday!

He's only 28 1/2" wide, but has over 65" of mass on him. Has a few inches of antler tips missing, but intact would come in right at 190" even.

Even got to share it with my dad...

Enjoy!

Title: Re: Raffle Buck from a Few Years Ago
Post by: MuleDeerCrazy on October 14, 2009, 09:00:40 PM: Yeah, you guys got me second guessing myself... I must be remembering the mass wrong. I'll remeasure it and post it again.

Thanks.
Title: Re: Raffle Buck from a Few Years Ago
Post by: MuleDeerCrazy on October 15, 2009, 12:58:05 PM: OK, I pulled my notes back out... I stand corrected! It was 45 inches of mass green and 40 inches after drying out.

Sorry.
