Well, with my whitetail special permit hunt coming up, I'm working on deciding on a goal for that hunt. Let's see some pictures of your 130" or bigger whitetails.

Can't wait...I've got the bug to go hunting and have the whole permit season off.

2012 buck. 135

dads 2012 west. 163. We spent 7 nights last year. Really depends on the weather, hopefully it will get nice and cold for you. snow up high maybe

Majority of the bucks up higher last year were the only ones that seemed really rutty. down low 90% of them were still super wary and smart. if you hunt hard you have a good chance of goin 130 plus. i shot a small 4 by 4 on the last day after passing 6 or 7 that were bigger then him in the previous 6 days. There are 170"s out there lurking i have no doubt. hope for COLD weather. the best of luck to you.

This one is 140. I have pics at home of some in the 125-130 range ill try and add later.
For 130 look for beams out toward end of nose and 5 points. G2 and g3 should he 7+ inches long. Compare to ear length which is usually 7-8. Also look for where g2 forks off beam to happen at or near tip of ear. G4 should have decent length 3 or so inches. You probably already knew all this but it is what I look for when quickly judging bucks. It happens fast and sometimes they look bigger. I look at single parts of the rack to make a determination.
