Booner?

Unread postby Haus86 » Fri Jul 06, 2012 11:09 am

I just filmed this buck by one of the farms that I hunt. Unfortunately, he was a long way out. How big is he? With some time left to grow, how big do you think he will get?

Hard to tell.

Good luck with him!

He is a main frame 10 if that helps.

Beautiful buck but impossible to tell if he is a Booner from that pic.

He looks real nice, but dont let that velvet fool you..he is going to look quite a bit smaller (less mass) once he peels. Looks like he has a real good frame started for sure...he could make it when he is done growing, but man it takes a lot of bone to hit 170!

Hard to tell from the picture... But he certainly looks to be a good one.

Man, you guys are tough! I think he will gross boone easy when he is done growing. I'm going to try to get some velvet footage of him in the next few weeks. Then we will all know for sure.

I have been disappointed way too many times once the velvet comes off. No doubt he is a good one but way to early to start talking booner :mrgreen:

Kinda grainy footage but looks way over 170 gross to me
