That's a nice buck deerdog. you think he would classify as a legal buck in wa?
I measured the point and it is 1.25" on the long side and an 1" on the short side so by wa standards he would be legal, but I don't think I would be comfortable making that call out in the field with it being that close. Lucky for me in Idaho its any buck. He was facing me front on I seen the height and I thought he was going to be bigger that a two point. I was a little shocked when I walked up to him and that's all he was.

huntnphool, Didnt that big 2 up north get killed last November? That looks the same size.If this one got killed it was either hit by a car, killed by wolves or poached.

I hate to see big fork horned mule deer in eastern Washington. I have really enjoyed the 3 pt min rule here in EW. If you hunted in the 70's and 80's you will remember hunting for days just trying to find a deer with any horns. the 3 pt rule increased the bucks and doe to buck ratios which has made for better hunting overall. There is always a problem though when you mess with mother nature. these large dominant two point bucks cant be shot and pass there genes on and we end up with genetic problems with our deer. I wish there was someway to cull these big bucks out of our herds here in EW. Dont really have a solution for it but they need to be killed and not passing the substandard genes on.A youth permit hunt for the entire month of November, two point only, points below the fork do not qualify as points.

Post by: huntnphool on June 29, 2012, 02:15:56 PM
I would like to see it tried for a season and see what happens, maybe 1-2 permits per unit to target these mature two's, it would be like a raffle tag for a kid and be a feather in the hat of WDFW for coming up with a additional youth hunt to get kids involved. I'd rather tag along on a hunt like that than hunt for myself in the joke of a general season we have right now.

When he walked up to it he couldn't believe the size. It was a huge, ancient bull (almost no teeth left, hooves like a moose) that had regressed back to being a spike. Biggest bull any of us had ever seen.

How was the meat on that old bull, Pathfinder 101? I got a cow estimated age thirteen plus and we made salami of the whole thing.
The meat was fantastic. We took out the whole backstrap, cut it in two, seasoned it and BBQ'ed it all day on low heat like a prime rib. Sliced it off in slabs about the size of a desert plate. Best elk camp meal I have ever eaten. :tup:

The biggest 2pt I ever saw I killed back in 1995. The body on him was huge for a blacktail.
Post by: link on June 30, 2012, 04:39:24 PM
This is the biggest blacktail forked horn I've ever seen, and my 9 year old son was the lucky shooter.That has to be the best looking blacktail I've seen, in regard to antler color and cape.

This is PathfinderJR with an elk a buddy of mine killed last year. Opening day archery, he cow called and this spike came running by, stopped broadside and he shot it. Went back to camp for breakfast, came back a couple of hours later to track and find his "spike".
When he walked up to it he couldn't believe the size. It was a huge, ancient bull (almost no teeth left, hooves like a moose) that had regressed back to being a spike. Biggest bull any of us had ever seen.
Was that in yakima county?

Permit drawsfor out to the ears two points, maybe for the master hunters that can take the time to judge the antlers.
