You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

I wish there was some sort of exciting story to tell about this deer, but it all happened pretty fast... I shot him 3 years ago, opening weekend of gun season. At the time it was the biggest buck I had ever shot, then the following year I shot a 10 pointer with the bow that scored 3" bigger.

I guess one cool thing about the story on this buck was, it was about 9:00 AM and I just decided to have a little snack, so I reached down into my lunch pail, when all of a sudden I heard something come over the ridge, and there he was standing there, he was with a doe.... They were only about 40 yards from me, so I waited till they were looking the other way, and I carefully put the lunch pail down, and picked up my 30-06, waited till he gave me a little quartering away shot because at the time, his a$$ was pointed towards me..... Finally he gave me the shot, and he piled up 50 yards down the hill...
So, not much of a story, but at the time, I was very happy ! So now, I have raised the bar, and am looking to reach the 150" mark... There is deer around me that big and bigger, so I hope to score this year. ;)

OK....
The score that the 2 guys came up for this buck was 138 3/8"......
Now I know that seems a little higher than what you guys were guessing, but like I said, 2 different guys were within an inch of each other, so I think it was pretty accurate.....

Now granted, that was right when I shot it, green.... So I'm not sure what it would measure now, not sure how much they lose.... But I will say this, those pictures really don't do it much justice, even to me, the beams don't look very thick in that pic, compared to standing right in front of it....

Anywho, that's what we got on it.....
