Post by: stormin85 on December 05, 2011, 07:50:04 AM: Without more pics I can't tell for sure, but the right side beam has a strong similarity to the trail cam pics DBhawthorne has, if it is i hope he's on here soon with a story and pic of him getting it!!

Edit: I am 99% positive, its that buck.

Post by: Elkslayer on December 05, 2011, 08:06:05 AM: Looks like the same buck to me! Who's the lucky hunter, DB or Brian?
Title: Re: NEW WA RECORD BUCK?
Post by: MtnMuley on December 05, 2011, 08:07:58 AM: Great buck. Congrats to the hunter. Is this the buck referred to as potential state record?

That's what i'm saying, who got him? I'm excited for whoever either way, and can't wait to hear the story.
Title: Re: NEW WA RECORD BUCK?
Post by: TommyH on December 05, 2011, 08:13:53 AM: Its not my buck or my story i just got a cell phone pic sent to me, not from the hunter. The buck that was just posted is not the same buck! Great buck but not near as big! Not sure if it was a permit hunt or what, just got the pic and heard it might be a record.

Did you get the archery bull from the same area? That is a ripper of a bull.

What is the current WA state record whitetail? :dunno:
i think the typical is 181 7/8
and the nontypical is 234 4/8
Title: Re: NEW WA RECORD BUCK?
Post by: DBHAWTHORNE on December 05, 2011, 10:08:21 AM: I did not kill the buck but I learned of his demise at the hands of a deserving hunter. R.I.P. big boy. The other buck is not a WA buck. It is the Amish Buck that was killed in Adams County Ohio by John Schumucker back in 2006. It netted 295 7/8 and is the seventh largest free ranging whitetail ever recorded. Absolutely a giant.
Title: Re: NEW WA RECORD BUCK?
Post by: DBHAWTHORNE on December 05, 2011, 10:14:15 AM: The WA state Records (All Methods) is:

Typical: 200 3/8 / Stevens County / James Cartwright / 1992
Non-Typical: 236 3/8 / Pend Orielle County / John Gretener /1931

The Cartwright buck is currently the 13th largest buck ever recorded in the B&C record book. I wrote an article on the buck that appeared in the December 2010 / Jan 2011 issues of North American Whitetail.

You can read the story (without pics) here: http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Not+forgotten%3A+nearly+two+decades+after+James+Cartwright+brought+down...-a0243718808
Title: Re: NEW WA RECORD BUCK?
Post by: Holg3107 on December 05, 2011, 10:22:30 AM: Not the news I was hoping to hear DB. Do you think we will see a write up on the buck on here, (if they arent a member could you coax them to do so)? Its great to see a whitetail of that caliber in WA state.
Title: Re: NEW WA RECORD BUCK?
Post by: DBHAWTHORNE on December 05, 2011, 10:27:19 AM: Not for now. The hunter is very humble and wishes to remain discrete.

I agree it is very promising to know that WA holds animals like these. The Typical I mentioned in my post above is a good example of what this place is capable of producing if they are given the time to grow.
Title: Re: NEW WA RECORD BUCK?
Post by: wsucowboy on December 05, 2011, 10:47:19 AM: Congrats to the hunter on a great buck :tup:
Title: Re: NEW WA RECORD BUCK?
Post by: DBHAWTHORNE on December 05, 2011, 10:51:54 AM: Something that is not well known....Stevens County actually ties several other counties (in the nation) for 18th place all time in the Boone and Crockett Record books for non-typical whitetail. If you take into consideration two other whitetail that are from Stevens County but listed as Hunters and Loon Lake then Stevens County ties two other counties in the nation for 14th all-time non-typicals..... So the possibilities for world class animals here is very real!!
Title: Re: NEW WA RECORD BUCK?
Post by: JackOfAllTrades on December 05, 2011, 11:21:06 AM: Oh yeah... Stevens county.. 'Public land', Without being too specific does have the makings of some monster bucks. In 2004 and 2006 my son and brother'n law (veteran hunter that knows what he's looking at), saw what they believe to be the same buck that he estimated to be +180" typical. Probably dead now. He did have a scar on his spine above the shoulders as an identifying mark. While not incredibly wide, G2 G3 tines were estimated at more than 14" tall. Both said he was 7-8 points per side with incredible eye guards that nearly met the height of the main tips coming forward. Great mass. Realize that field judging while trying to get a shot is a difficult task, the separate accounts from both hunting in the same area two years different, with another account/sighting the year before by his brother'n law do lead me to believe that there is at least one (or was), coming from great gene pool with the correct feed to produce what anyone in North America would consider a true trophy class animal from Washington.

Post by: Hornseeker on December 05, 2011, 03:29:35 PM: I'm glad a deserving hunter got him DB...must mean he was "after" him...which is cool. I'd be happy to "luck" upon a buck like that, but when a guy targets a deer like that, then kills him... wowsa! Sorry you didn't get him man!
Title: Re: NEW WA RECORD BUCK?
Post by: Encore 280 on December 05, 2011, 03:47:36 PM: I have some pics of my huntin partner that got a monster in the Pearrygin Unit this year on a permit rifle hunt. The thing has a really nice rack. I can't figure out how to downsize the picture so it'll fit on here. I could frwrd it to someone that know's how to do that and they could either send it back to me or just post it here.
Title: Re: NEW WA RECORD BUCK?
Post by: TommyH on December 05, 2011, 03:52:27 PM: yep :'( that buck was not from WA! :bash: just checked out the Amish buck DB was talking about, thats the one :bash: guess my buddie has a unreliable source, :sry: :sry:

This pic doesn't do this buck justice. Those eyegaurds are unreal. Long and bladed. It's definetly a great buck especially for a mulie basin......

Post by: Encore 280 on December 07, 2011, 08:38:43 PM: Yeah, that Alta 2pt muley is a real impressive animal. :tup: We'll get somemore good pics of the whitetail when the taxi's done with 'im.

I think it depends on perspective. I think good scoring whitetail look more impressive. Most (not all) Mule Deer look the same to me...just bigger or smaller versions of each other.. (not to say I dont' love them because I think they are awesome). However, I see much more diversity in antler characteristics amongst whitetail and that is what I prefer. :twocents:
