Big Ruting Whitetail

[nbell]

Have been out hunting for a week now. Have killed three of the four we need. Only me left as I am still holding out for a big one. We did kill this smokin buck a couple of days ago. Back for thanksgiving and then back to the woods until the end. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Holy smokes, you ain't kidding about a "smoking buck." Congrats to you guys. Looks like you are giving it one hell of an effort in some of the worst conditions to hit the Northern Rockies in many hunting seasons.

Hope you get a bigger one.

I knew there was plenty of reasons to consider a Washington whitetail hunt.WOW! THAT is a buck.Please give us a score when you get a chance.I'm droolin'.

I rough scored him in camp at 177 main frame. When I added in the kickers and the forked eyegaurds came up with 184 6/8.

Okay,must have more specifics....beam length,inside/outside width.I would have guessed 170-175.Great width,extra points,heavy beams,medium point length.This buck rocks.Hope it is going on the wall.

Looking into it more, and I have never scored a true 5 point. Don't think you get 5 mass measurements. If that is the case, take off 10 in for the extra mass measurement I used. Pretty neat, every mass measurement is at or over 5 inch's. Even if this brings his score down 10 who cares, still a toad.

Awesome buck. I didn't know WA had whitetails like that.

Yep, only 4 mass measurements per side.

Thats the way I feel too. Yes score does matter,but in my eyes the trophy af any animal is the hunt itself.. The final score is the bonus in the end!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mikeflies]
