Age and Score

Unread postby SHoff10 » Wed Nov 13, 2013 1:31 pm

This is a definite shooter in my mind and it is also the biggest buck I've ever got on trail cam. We put this cam in a spot that you can drive to with the truck on the edge of the field. Also, I know the picture is blurry but what do you think is around the base of his antlers?

Would guess him around 155 to maybe 165 on the high side gross and 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 hard to tell from just one pic on that angle. Looks like might be a few kickers around the base and maybe see a droptine on the right antler but again hard to tell, ears can be decieving in blurry pics. Great buck though for sure a shooter good luck!

If he's a shooter in your mind, shoot him.(Given the oppurtunity of course) I wouldn't let age or score get in the way. By the way he's definately a shooter in my book.

Well I know that it has been almost a year since I updated this post. And I also had another post going about this buck and people wanted pictures. I completely forgot to post them. You can see that this is the buck we got on trail cam. It is an absolute BEAST! From the blurry picture, it looks like he had something stuck in his antlers but really it was 2 drop tines. I covered the face of the hunter to protect his identity. Not sure if he would care or not but I am just doing it anyways. I also blurred out a few beer cans since I am not affiliated with this brand in any way (although I consider myself a taste tester quite often!). This deer had an exact 20" inside spread and 14.5 " G2s with one being split. Any ideas on age and score? Gross and net??

This was also the deer from this post:

http://thehuntingbeast.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22305

The arrow just nicked the bottom of the deer's heart and stuck in the opposite shoulder and then broke off. He ran around 125 yards and never bleed until we basically found him. Here he is....

I went over him with a fine toothed comb....

20" inside
24" beams = 48"
36" mass
tines.... wild card 5", 15", 13", 8"..... 5", 12", 4" split, 8" drop, 4" drop, 8" = 80"

Total = 184" gross

Guys. Thanks for taking the time to guess. We measured this deer multiple times and always end up somewhere in the mid 180s gross. So Bucky, you are right on!! The drop tines are 8.5 and 4.5 inches each. Then this deer carried its mass throughout the entire rack. This deer also had the largest neck that I have ever seen on a deer. Once again, I appreciate you guys taking the time to respond to my posts.
