By far the ugliest rack i have ever seen, i am glad somone put him out of his missery.

that is an ugly rack. it's not too often i would say that, but it's ugly.

Wow, a 30" buck and you guys are calling it ugly...  I bet you'd pull he trigger on him if you had the chance.

..or an identity crisis...am I a Booner or a pup?  :dunno:


I don't think 'ugly' has much to do with whether or not it would be passed in this case.  Odd looking rack regardless.

Looks familiar to me. I think a local gun store owner shot it out of state a couple years back.
actually he killed it in the desert unit 2 or 3 years ago.
I thought he told me Colorado.
maybe your right it may have been colorado

It is really not that big of a buck, no way it is 30", maybe 25" to 26"..  Not heavy, not great forks, kind of an ugly deer, I would shoot him, but he aint that big.
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

I would have no probs shootin this buck, and I'd venture to say a lot of guys feel the same, we can all say we would or wouldn't shoot it on here, but its a diff story when you actually see it in your crosshairs, just my opinion

he's got deep forks...i'd shoot him, don't get me wrong, but he's wierd looking with those flaired out backs. if it weren't for them he'd be 22" wide...maybe 28 wide now?
