What does he score?
« on: July 20, 2018, 11:37:03 AM »
Borrowing this photo from another thread in the elk hunting section.

Some are saying they would let this deer walk and others say they would shoot in a heartbeat.

Tough to tell with just this one photo and unfortunately I don’t know what it really scores. I would like to know what you guys think this deer scores. I will chime in with my thoughts later. Don’t want to sway opinions one way or the other right out the gate.

Depending on if that is a split eye guard on his passenger side or not he's gonna be 138-141.   I put him at 59 and 63 with a 16" spread credit.  I'm pretty sure that I am on the generous side would that guesstimation as well as I think he's a bit shorter in the main beams

My initial thought on the other thread, 135" but maybe less, that spread could be 14.5-15" or maybe 16"?

Definitely not an impressively antlered animal, just a healthy young muley.

So my initial thought on the other thread was 120-125" but that was just a quick glance, I was more focused on the elk aspect of the story even a 150" deer wouldn't have swayed my opinion.  Then when people started talking about shooting him for sure I started to take a second look.  I missed that there is potentially and probably an eye guard on the passenger side.  That makes left and right even more unequal.

With all that in mind and after multiple looks, I think that it could be a 130" deer and maybe if you really stretched the tape a 140" but I am just not seeing it.

Is it a nice deer?  You bet.  Will it be a stud next year?  Probably.  Would I shoot it at swakane during the November archery season?  Heck yes, first day, last day and any day in between that.

My answer on shooting him in the other thread was completely different as those circumstances were totally different.

To me it's almost like the antlers don't jive with the rest of the deer.  Antlers look great but the body just screams young deer to me.  That is why I think it would be a stud in a year or two.
