is this good buck???

We spent christmas in washington this year and my wife's grandpa wanted to know if this is a good buck. he hunts for meat and shot this deer on the WA coast in 2000. It's his best buck, but how does it stand up to other deer in the area?? I scored it at 136 gross and 135 net. It has a 20" spread and 5" bases. Any info appreciated.

I think that's a great buck. For anywhere. As you indicated, it has very little deduction. 135 blacktail is good anywhere. Is he going to have it placed in B&C?

Only 1 inch of deductions?? I say NO way. Hell of a buck

135 inches is an excellent Blacktail anywhere!

That's a great buck. It looks pretty symetrical, 1" could be possible, if it's not, it's not much more.

I shot a Muley here in Ca. that scored 173 1/8" gross and only had 3 1/8" deduction. So, yeah, I think it could be close to 1".

Anyhow, great buck either way.

That is a very good buck for the coast. I have been hunting the coast area since I started hunting and have only seen a few bucks of that size. Where abouts did he shoot it?

Thanks for the input. The buck was shot in the benson creek area. I don't know where that is, but he lives in the skagit valley, so it may be near there. As for the score, it is not official, I just wanted to give an idea. If anyone thinks it's wrong, good for you.
He also gave me this elk rack from a bull that his uncle shot in 1943 in the blue mts. 370 gross 350 net

Beautiful elk antlers! Blue Mountains? Would that be a Roosevelt elk? Thanks for the pic.

That'd be a Rocky Mountain I believe. Too bad that herd has been on a decline because of predators. Thats a nice bull!!!
