It was almost dark. Bit fuzzy but thought you would enjoy. With archery only 2 weeks away this buck is pretty brave.

What do you think 150-160?

Hard to tell from those pics but possibly 170. The mains look to be a little short but the rear forks look nice. He also has a weak spread, but might be able to make up for a little of that in mass. I would guess once the velvet is dropped he ends up in the158-160 range.

If you let me know where he is I might be able to judge the score a little better.

How did I know that was coming

I'm passing on him, you can't get the big ones if you keep taking the little ones. Sorry M-Ray, your shells are still in my pocket.

I'm with phool!!! He might go 170. I'd say 165

big_bucks · « **Reply #14 on:** August 12, 2008, 03:45:21 PM »

Definitely a shooter. Good luck!

If I see that sucker on Friday (Now that I know where he is

) , I'm gonna push that sucker out of that field and up in the hills so I have a crack at him come rifle season!!! Just kidding, he'll be on the ground first day of archery season I bet.

I am kicking myself for going modern rifle this year. It has been 13 years since I last rifle hunted. Probably could have got on him opening day. I know others have seen him. In fact there were a few lurkers watching from their truck at a distance. he will likely go into hiding around Sep 1.

If that is 170 I have been underestimating bucks in the past. Bucks that I consider 170 may be 180. That would be nice.

I thought 157 after his velvet is gone.

Nice buck. 156" gross.

Jackjr · « **Reply #18 on:** August 12, 2008, 08:42:45 PM »

Big enough for me. I will take one

PacificNWhunter · « **Reply #19 on:** August 13, 2008, 07:16:32 PM »

Looks like a good buck..I'd take him in a heart beat. Is he located in a restricted fire arm area? You could always use your bow during modern season..
