Congrats Tony!
Ok- Tony got it done in Washington on Tuesday. I was not there but I heard it was an amazing hunt. Tony was able to watch this buck for over an hour before putting the smack down on him. My brother tells me they have some great video of this monster being harvested. I am extremely busy this week, but my phone has been ringing off the hook. I thought I would at least get you a picture now and the story later.
This buck is a 6X4 that is going to go over the 200” mark. He is 31.5” wide and has 13 score able points on the base. You cannot tell from the picture but he is 7.75” inches at the base. What an amazing animal for Washington. I mean anywhere! Way to go and thanks for letting us share the photo Tony
I will post some more pictures and a video clip on my website next week when I have some more time. Wildfocus.biz (http://Wildfocus.biz)

Why is it that when I find a big set of sheds he gets killed the next year? Maybe some day I will get drawn be able to harvest a buck that I have sheds from instead of giving the sheds away! :)
Probably because you find so many damn sheds!

I'm sure you could sell the collection and buy the tag :)
but honestly, which would you rather have.

Awesome. The gov's eastside deer tag in 2009 went for $7,500. How much for this year? That's a bargain!
$7,500 was the whitetail auction tag, not muley. Muley tag has went over $10K for a while now,

Whats interesting is that the WDFW site lists the 2009 eastside deer tag sold for $7500.00. In 2008 it went for $14,000.00.
They don't list a whitetail tag but I'm pretty sure you're right on the price.

Not canada I'm assuming, but the high country? And if so, how come these beasts aren't taken during high buck season????????? Or are they even seen?
Just wondering why December seems to be the Magic time. If you want them earlier in the season, just go higher it would seem to me!

OK-- I am gonna show my ignorance here since I haven't hunted mulies. When you all talk about them migrating, where are they coming from??

Out of the high country onto the winter range.

Pretty sure its the same buck. I saw a photo elsewhere (couldn't get on here at work) and immediately thought of these sheds. I also wonder about 207, but I know I was secieved by Ducks sheds, so why not the buck. Awesome trophy. Sorry he beat you to him wastick. I knew he was on your agenda for this weekend.Ok..."boneaddict" and "antlerking">>>you guys are amazing in how you can break an animal down. I feel i can usually get within a couple inches when i look at an animal and you are right on. This buck is very deceiving because he is not a typical buck. I know he is going to gross between 205"-208".
BTW...I have not met you yet but hope I run into you next week when i am in the area. Talk to you soon:)

Hey Erdmann, when is the next video coming out?Not sure! We have some great stuff this year but maybe not enought for new DVD. Handful of bucks in the 150"-168"; Aarons world record ram; 2 cougars; 2 good archery elk kills; 2 archery buck; Derek's daughter killing first 4x4; antelope; and now Tony's buck...oh ya good goat in WA as well. I could have sealed the deal in Idaho, but missed a monster. I suck...and can admit it. We may just have to have a movie night in someones barn because I will not produce DVD unless it is worth purchasing.
Really feel like we need one or two more Big Bucks for a complete DVD. As you know the last one was 2 hours. That is why they call it hunting.
