In a heartbeat

[boneaddict]

Probably any Washington tag I can think of, this one would get a notch.   There has always been something about this buck.

[str8meat]

Yes most definitely

[Dan-o]

I don't know........?

I mean 2 throat patches.....

I just don't know.   

Ok, I know!
What a terrific pic of an amazing buck. 

[kirkl]

Heck ya.

[High Climber]

Yep everything about that guy is awesome

[Wingin it]

No question! Safety off, squeeze trigger! Nice pic too!

[sjhgraysage]

A tad weak on the G 2's

His ears are to small, makes his rack look freakishly perfect.






🤣😆🤣😆

Beautiful buck and picture bone👍

[dvolmer]

I think I would pass. Weak back’s!   

[teanawayslayer]

I’d be hard pressed to pass on him in any state

[Alchase]

I think my mind would saying Holy $hit!
While my body would be taking the shot. Then cleaning my drawers later after he is tagged. 

The buck of my dreams rightly there 

[Alchase]

I will say,

Bone if I took that pick, I would blow it up and have it mounted on glass, and placed over my fireplace!

[High Climber]

Gents what does that buck score? Doesn’t matter one bit but I would like to see if my estimation is in the ballpark. my estimate is low 180’s.
22” main beams
3” G1’s
14” g2’s
9” g3’s
9” g4”s
25” spread
38” mass
Couple inches of trash

[boneaddict]

Pretty close to what I thought.  I had a bit less mass, but a bit longer G3’s and G4’s and I put him close to 175.  If I recall, I went

22 mains
2 g1
15 g2
10 g3
10 g4
5,4,4,3 on mass
24(22)

I usually fudge low, it has served me well.

You could squeeze 2.5 on eyeguards, 3.5 on one mass  but again, that makes easier math and it helps if the g2 is 14 not 15.

  Looks like I overshot quite a bit on mass, also I forgot that spread credit is dependent on main beam length.

Am I the only one that would pass up that deer on a quality tag?  It's a good deer, just seems a bit spindly, another year or two?? 

[SkookumHntr]

That’s a no doubter in my books!

To each their own for sure.   I’ve certainly killed bigger, I don’t know if you have, but whether it’s the shape or the rack, or animal itself. I wouldn’t hesitate.

That's an old deer and he's gonna be 181-183". Take that to the bank.

haven’t come close to killing a mule deer of this stature, I admit I’m not good at scoring deer.  But if Karl says it’s 180+, I’d kill a 180+ deer on opening day, if I knew it was. Thick frames excite me and I cannot lie… lol

[Timberstalker]

Dandy. In a heartbeat is an understatement.   

[Whitpirate]

With a tag and a round in the chamber my mind would be "Don't screw this up, breath you fool, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze"

In a heartbeat for me too! Once my heart resumed beating that is  That thing is a heart stopper!

Ha haaa "in a heart beat" made me think it would be my last beat too! Great animal thanks for sharing Bone!

I'd be hoping for my heart to beat instead of pound. I'd be so nervous about screwing that up.

[Gonehuntin01]

That's a great buck and wouldn't hesitate on day 1.
