New state record?

Thank you Cecil for the original photos from Wilson's wildlife photography!

I enjoy estimating B&C (Boone and Crockett) scores for white tail;


-I like to practice so when I am in the field I can estimate on the fly.

-All my scores are based on photos you posted to here, thus it may not be accurate. Normal B&C scores are done with a 1/4-inch wide flexible steel tape to the nearest one-eighth of an inch. I do not go to the 1/8 inch. I do whole inches and go off photos and use things in the photos for approximate references!

-Also, I do gross score and don't do the whole subtract for atypical stuff.

-Of note, circumference (mass) is tough to gauge off of photos

Based on the pics in my estimate B&C for your deer is: 195-205 give or take 5-8 inches for error.

obviously good length and all the times and it looks like it's gonna have a hell of a lot of mass

Beautiful animal

Anyone have photos of the foster deer and score?


The one posted above is one amazing specimen

Sonny's had a world class frame IMO, netting 186" as a mainframe 10 Point.

Tony's had a world class frame IMO, netting 186" as a 10 Point.

Looks to be the same main frame genetics as this new buck, minus the mass.

Needed one more year. Lol

I couldn't design a buck and get it any better than that!
Awesome!

Where is that buck displayed now?

Sonny's buck is from China. You can see it in his eyes

I saw a daylight trail cam video of this buck today, just impressive.

Hmmm, seems like history proves our mountains out do west tn for record typicals. That cant be.

They're just able to avoid hunters and grow to maturity further east in the rugged mountains.

A few data points definitely suggest this. Both in TN and KY. Worth mentioning, MANY great bucks are never mentioned to the general public, much less registered in the books.

I suspect this will only become more of a factor as more of the hunting population opts to not "go deep and/or put forth the effort", and hunt suburban deer.

I sure hope so

Yep. I was fortunate enough to kill a buck with a MZ that far exceeds the current county record in which I killed it. But I didn't register it. I didn't even get it officially scored.

Shared the pic with friends and family. That's about it.

From looking at this magnificent buck the net shouldn't be much less than the gross a really symmetrical giant !

You said a lot right there. It's also great advice too.

Absolutely amazing buck...no matter what state or location....that buck is world class.
Also...its been many years since seeing Sonnys buck...also an amazing animal. Thanks for sharing.
