Right at 330 with a quick tape , I didn't tape the main beam so I may have shorted him a bit . his mains were 44 and 45 , with a low spread credit of just under 32.  his daggers were 18. first mass was 9. bases were a bit over 10.  you guys were right from that trail cam pic he was all done by july 15th. I won't get hung up on score because he was the boss in that drainage for sure and had good age on him , but I could imagine 55 inch beams with a 45 inch spread credit !
My wife told me that I hunt way more than I did when we first got married. I said yeah I know isn't it great !

Congrats Coach, a 330 - 340 class Bull in Washington off of public lands is a very impressive beast.
 Followed the story from the beginning and I have to say you did the tag justice. Would have been nice to tagged out early but that just wasn't how this old dude was supposed to fall. He was the "The Man" in that valley and deserved to be taken with a fair chase hunt.  I am sure you and the crew had to use every play out of the play book to make him stumble. The big guys knowledge of the woods and the shear will power you guys gave made this a hunt to remember. Lets not forget all of the fans you made that were sitting on the sidelines, waiting for an update every few hours as we checked the hunt progress.

Thanks for taking all of the Hunt-Wa family along for the ride, this will be the greatest hunt we have all gotten to follow. I am sure Aaron would be giving you 2 thumbs up right now, for a job well done.   :tup: :tup:

Great Job Guys! It was a pleasure to meet up with you at the top of the mountain before diving off. We knew you would get it done. I did fill my tag on a 5x5 eventually. Story and pics to follow, but that is one masher for Aaron that is for sure. Great adventure and pics!
