What would he score?
« on: September 18, 2023, 11:02:31 AM »
Over the years I have determined, trail cam’s do not give the deer the justice they deserve. After looking at this pic, I had decided without dropper, he was not a shooter. After seeing him in person, my mind totally changed as it has for the last 5 years.

Do you have better pics of his body ? Things would have to be pretty controlled before I ever passed up a BT like that. Tough decisions !

If I saw that in the woods during season, score would not even enter my mind. If I had pics of him, he'd be my target buck for the foreseeable.  Old mature buck with war clubs for antlers, truly a trophy regardless of score.

I think the mass on that buck could be easily overlooked with the trash he has going on. Great buck w character!

Better body comparison, when standing next to 4x5. His mass is very misleading, my problems with trail cams. His HI’s are 6.75 and 6.5”. Yes after seeing him in person I do not know what I was thinking. Mains are a tad over 22” each and dropper is 10 3/4”. His green gross is 160 7/8” helps when you get over 44” of mass

You are one heck of a hunter if that is a pass.

He was not the biggest, on cam this year, just the nastiest, It was a tough decision until I saw him, then his mass made it a no brainer, the 4x5 is going to be a stud in two years, if he makes it, what made the decision tough was, I was sitting on a multi season tag and a quality tag, so not many days I was unable to hunt. So another toad off to Alicia at last look taxidermy. Check her out under the taxidermy thread, and you can see some of the bucks she has already done for me, breath taking
