Now after 102's post on how to score deer and were all professionals at it...LOL...Let's here what you think this FREAK could gross around? I don't care really as that would be my last concern if I got a chance at him (because i would die of a heart attack before i shot) but i have to admit the curiousity has got me. I know my chances are slim I'll kill him as he hasn't made it for 5.5 years plus by being stupid but you can be assured all other bucks and properties for that matter have been put on the back burner. I'll be putting up a few more cameras around the field to see if I can get a regular entrance and exit pattern on him if he's still around the plot when the velvet comes off.... so what say you???

hard to say man, atleast 150 by no means. The great mass will help him tremendously. Im having a hard time trying to figure out how long the tines are. Im saying he will make 160's, if he dont it would suprise me.

Im not the best at scoring, good luck at getting a shot at him.

Mass is a hard one to judge to. I was thinking the same 160's

My initial guess was 155"+ gross. With that said, a good friend of mine killed a buck few years back in Arkansas that mimics this buck in A LOT of ways. His grossed 165" and had 40" of mass measurements. I think this one is in the ballpark. He looks 160"+ in the bottom picture for sure. Best of luck with him come season.
 
Hard to tell with the velvet on, but I would definitely say in the 150s and maybe pushing 160. Hope to see a pic in a few weeks with no velvet and maybe a pic with your hands on him. Very nice buck. Good luck with him!
 
Im going to say close to 160s. Here is a deer from last year in velvet and in hard horn that scored 160. you can compare!

Great to compare the 2 thanks. It looks like mine has more mass but yours beams and brow tines are a touch longer...I sure hope I get a crack at him if I make it that long. It's all I've thought about
 
No problem! I hope you do get him buddy!

And that was a awesome buck! I was heart broken when the neighbor shot him! I never wanted to kill a deer as bad as that one! I had him pattern to a t! Just didnt expect a doe that eary would take him to neighbors property. He was in his garage and seen him chasing a doe in his back yard and got his crossbow and walked down fence line and shot him! Happy for him, but it never happens like that for me! What i would have givin, Lol!

You gotta be being funny right? I've killed 140's and they ain't touching him.

:/


LOL ok maybe I do just a little....
:grin:

That's a real nice buck, hope you get a crack at him. I have a hard time judging velvet racks due to the velvet making their mass look a lot higher than it really is, but I don't think that will have much of a problem in the mass department. 160, maybe just a tiny bit less.
