Title: 1941 WA buck 203 4/8 on ebay, anybody know the story behind it?
Post by: bigelk1030 on February 16, 2011, 10:20:34 PM: I am not the guy selling this, I just stumbled across it tonight. Wouldn't mind finding out where it was shot.

It states its from a guy named Joe Guariz who shot it in 1941 in WA state. Its a nice buck.

Just curious if anyone knows the story behind it. Where it was shot?

Scoring 203 4/8 SCI; he won't make all time B&C so I never had it scored by an offical B&C scorer.

Isn't Buzzy a B/C measurer?

Post by: ScottyG on February 19, 2011, 03:05:40 PM: Sent the seller an e-mail. His reserve was set at $1,900. He says he planning on selling it in his shop so we may not see it on ebay again.

That seemed like a heck of a deal for a full body mount that looked pretty decent, connected to such a nice set of antlers.

One of you deep pocketed guys should really get that mount back where it belongs in WA state.

Post by: bigelk1030 on February 21, 2011, 07:36:31 AM: I only had a minute with Buzzy, but I did bring it up. He didnt recall it immediately, we were both busy so I didn't get to follow up Saturday night.

Post by: GrainfedMuley on February 21, 2011, 08:16:45 AM: Wow! I have a no typical rack that was given to me by an old timer that used to own a gun shop. I took the rack to the sportsmans show to have it measured. It measured 223 5/8's and it was shot in the Okanogan in 72 or 73. The last time I check the state record books, he would come in at #10. It's nice to know that I could get a $1,000.00 out of it.

Can you post a picture of it? Would be cool to see what WA (genetically) could produce.
