I was able to harvest this divine buck on the last weekend of general season! I spend from snowmelt to snowfall in the WA state wilderness areas; for the beauty of God's country, and for the bucks! This deer is unlike any Ive seen. His mass is absolutely unbelievable! The pictures show it, but honestly don't do him any justice! I was wondering what you guys on here think he will score at? I put a green tape on him before I took him to the taxidermist, and Im no expert, but wanted to see what you all thought? i can get more into the story if the post gets some interest! Godspeed all!

WOW! That is a monster buck! I would say he has to be over 200". He has a beautiful cape too, he's going to look awesome on your wall. Congrats!

Wow, what an exceptional buck. I love the mass he has! I'm the least experienced guy on this forum but I would guess close to 200.
Congratulations!

Stud of a buck! Congratulations, it sounds like a well earned trophy.

My guess 182

He has incredible mass like you mentioned! INCREDIBLE however that is just one part of a bc buck. Just my opinion but make sure you post up numbers to prove me wrong and everybody right;)

I'm no expert scorer, but I'm no idiot either...I got a green score on him, but I'm waiting for my taxidermist to confirm before releasing the results...he scores big though ;)

sw although your words were few, they just oozed of excitement and accomplishment. I'm sure you feel the same way as I suspect that those who wrote something here would say. It does not matter his score, he is absolutely gorgeous! What a toad of a buck and my what character.

If I had to guess a score, and I probably really stink at it, I would guess somewhere around 175 - 180.

Congratulations

I could be wrong, but I'm sticking with a gross of 200ish. I think the mass makes the tines look shorter than they really are. Not that it really matters. That is my dream buck! Mass and trash! I'm jelouse, congrats again.

If I had to guess, it would be 197. But I am one that doesn't get caught up in score, and that is one hell of good looking deer. Congrats! Can't wait to hear the story.

One thing for sure...regardless of what he scores, he was an old buck. Look at his face , eyes and snout. Absolutely one great buck!!! Congratulations to you. The only downside I can think of is, you will probably hunt for a long time before you get another like him. Definately the buck of a lifetime.
