Your best buck , show and tell

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.

I saved the teeth to send in with some others...just haven't yet...

Don’t have any pictures after I’d killed this buck because it was opening weekend, 95 degrees and I was alone. Got this one with a bow in 2018 I believe and he scored about 140”.

This buck was taken in Wyoming in 2010. I has 31" spread and is a 5x4. I have been hunting Wyoming since 1980 mainly for antelope but have shot a few deer also. On one trip antelope I found a small canyon with a small spring at the head end of it. Every year when we were in that area hunting antelope I would check it. Every time I saw 3 or 4 buck deer that were really bruisers. It took 15 points to draw and took me awhile to get a tag. In 2010 I drew it and shot this buck . I have told a couple of friends about it and they have taken a couple of good bucks too.

Shot this whitetail back in 2023. He was cruising through one of our alfalfa fields. Shot him at 420 yards with my 338 RUM. Didn't get great field pics since I was by myself, but these will have to do. Our whitetails were really looking up, but got destroyed by EHD this year. Going to be a while before seeing a decent buck like this again.

I was by myself so didn’t get good pics unfortunately, and pales in comparison to some, but this is my best muley to date. The matching kickers are cool.

Nothing too crazy, but a cool buck. His running buddy all summer was a giant, but come rut he moved about 2 miles and got killed.
