Wide whitetail
« on: October 03, 2012, 02:31:28 PM »
Buck reportedly taken during the Youth Hunt in Iowa yesterday.   Not officially scored to my knowledge, but I've heard some guesses... what do you scoremiesters put it at?  :peep:



KABOOM Count - 1

Dandy buck regardless, but I'd put it at about 170-180
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

I would say 200" plus.  The mass is excellent as well.

Not even close!  I would put that deer in the 170's to 180 tops.

My initial thought was 175 but it largely depends on his mainbeam length. It's hard to get an estimate in these pictures.

Missed it first go round that it was a kid in the picture.  Thought it was an adult.  LOL.  I still say 185-190.

I would say 200" plus.  The mass is excellent as well.

28-29ish spread.  mass is pretty good.  tine length doesn't put him over 200.  but i would say close to 185-190ish  :dunno:
