Huge deer estimated at 170"

[SBEROB]

There was a deer killed a day or two ago that was estimated to be around 170". I heard it was killed around Franklin county. Either way it's a heck of a deer and congrats to the hunter

Here is a link to the processors page that posted it.

I'd love to know the width on that one. Shesh.

 

[ROUGH COUNTRY HUNTER]

A big one for sure

If my taxidermist or processor used my deer as a plug for their business I think I'd want a kickback.

I saw that online where the hunter stopped by a friends house and they say it measured 27" didn't say inside or outside

There is a 170 in the kill thread too in case y'all haven't seen it. Posted yesterday I think

A great buck but I'm doubting 170. He won't likely get credit for all that width since his beam length is likely less than the width. Still a fantastic buck.

Man that is a monster of a buck!

How does that work do they drop the spread measurement to match the main beams?

Looks like a Texas deer it is so wide! Congrats to him on a buck of a lifetime!

I think the spread credit can equal but not exceed the mainbeam length of the longest antler.

Correct. But the way his beams sweep around, he wont get docked much i dont think.

I could be wrong but I don't see 170,awful short tines,but pictures can be deceiving

81" just in beam length and width. Another 35" or so in mass is if it really has 6" bases. The other 8 points just need to total 55" in length.

And 55" is about what he has, I don't see 168-170" being a problem

Great buck but I also don't see 170". I don't see 6" bases and his tines aren't that long. As mentioned though pictures can be deceiving. Please post the score when you get it.

The B&C scoring system doesn't allow for spread to outscore beam length but I don't think the Buck Master system accounts for spread (someone correct me if I'm wrong on that). Personally, I think if you're going to score one everything and every which way he grew it should count. I understand deductions for rack symmetry reasons but I just can't wrap my head around deducting something (like it's not there) when I'm sitting there looking at it.

I believe the spread can be no more than the longest main beam.

very nice

Great buck, congrats to him!

I am glad to see some quality deer coming out of these areas no matter the score

Last I knew of the Buck Master score system it only scored antler from which you are correct no spread , don't they call it the BTR ?

170 or not nice one

Really awesome deer , reminds me of a buck at FT Campbell that scored 173 killed when I was hunting in same area in 2012 I believe. Super wide but short tines. I killed a green score 177 gross week ago which was a lifetime goal I did not think would happen hunting in east tn, will probably not net 170 typical but a lifetime buck for sure. It's in the kill thread.

Is that him in your avatar pic? Anything close to 170 is unbelievable, especially in TN.

 

[ThorThor]

Yes. Although the stupid resizer thing just screwed it up. Got him the last day of Muzzleloader. One sighting the last two years on cam. Was a clean ten last year then he grew an extra point on right beam. Still cannot believe he showed up in daylight when I was out there. Thought he would remain a ghost deer.
