Back at camp I tell my morning hunt story so my hunting partner (Black Ram) and I decide to try and find that bear on the afternoon hunt. It was big and I really wanted it. We go back up into the same area and got up to where I saw it. We cut left and side hilled it to where we had a big area to watch over. I picked a spot and my buddy went about 50 yards away up higher and over a little rise. We sat for about 45-50 minutes with nothing going on. I stand up and then notice 3 people cutting across the clear cut below me from the right and 1 person from the left. I make myself visible so they see me and move on. They did. I take my rifle off my shoulder and am standing there looking down to the clear cut and all of a sudden hear a ton of crashing noise. I spin around to look and hear my buddies gunshot go off. Right at that time this huge bruiser comes barreling over the hillside and is in mid air jumping over a log pile heading right at me at about 40 yards. HOLY CRAP! Is all I say. I raised my rifle and as soon as the buck landed he split to my right and he was moving. After he changes directions I put my scope on him and fired a shot at about 30 yards. All I saw in my scope was red after the shot and it looked a little too far back. Crap I gut shot him. I rack another round in and get ready to fire and this guy piled up no farther than 25 yards from where I hit him. Buck down. We get up to him and he twitched once and was done.
From hearing the crashing above me to when the buck was down was no more than 7-10 seconds at best. I have never gone through something like that before and was pumped up. My buddies shot had missed (lucky for me) and mine went in the right side bottom of rib cage and out the left shoulder.

Also I have been told to get him scored. How do I do that? Who can do that in the Everett area?
Thanks
A very excited hunter :chuckle:
Edit... Talked to the taxidermist that was recomended to me by my buddy. He sounds like a great guy and am uber excited.

First off, that is an outstanding any season Wa buck. Lets hear the scores guys and gals. I am saying 165" frame with 15 inches of extras for a 180" gross.
I see 175" frame with 15-18" extra. Im going to say 193" gross. Look at those main beams in the side profile. I bet they are close to 26" :yike: And the G4's are huge too.
Very Very cool buck.
