Found a better photo of him

This is my best to date. I think I got him in 2018. Shot him with a bow a week earlier and shot high on the back strap. A week later he came in and killed him with a 243.

I don’t have anything that can compete with what you gents have taken but here is my best. Taken in Montana with a rifle in 2016.

That Montana buck is a good buck anywhere. It is all relative to where you hunt .

October 11th 2014. Archery. New York. 296lbs. I wish I still had some of the other pictures. His back was a wide or wider then my shoulders. Biggest buck to ever go through our local processor.

The bases on that 4 point are wild! Great blacktail!

Looks like he was part moose! There’s something special about a huge bodied buck.

ya, it's got a couple stickers too. I feel blessed to have shot that one.
I wish I knew something about aging them.

Will Washington Fish and Wildlife send teeth in for you? I’ve learned with blacktails there is no way to know other than tooth aging. We age all of our bucks and I’ve seen 4.5 year olds that were huge and 5.5 year old that were small and 7.5 year old forkies. Facial features, body size and tooth wear are equally unreliable. Makes them even more intriguing to me.

Hard to pick between the 2. Both south texas with 7mm. Never officially scored either but the 8 at is about 150'. Not sure about the other

Those are some impressive Western WA bucks! Back when I used to hunt here, I never saw anything even close to that. I’ve heard WFDW can age them if sent in.
