I say around 123, nice buck. Go kill it and let's put a tape on him.

I used to live down near Fort Casey and saw lots of deer.   I never saw one like that!

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just go out and kill it tomorrow as some suggest?  (What's wrong with you anyway)  :chuckle:

115-122"
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

106-114, I would shoot him in a heartbeat.
Now that you posted the front view I am thinking more like 115-120.
Really nice deer especially for the island.
Shoot him if you can.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Trying, but can get him to appear during the day.
Looks like you need to be hunting the end of the day.  Good luck,

  • How do you measure trying, you do, or you don’t.

That's why he is still alive, the big boys don't like the daylight hours. :chuckle:
