I think we should post someone on the roads to see what the natives are bringing out of there.  :yike:  I wonder if they are topping him.

I'd use the ears as a reference, or the distance between the eyes.  He certainly has the mass, trash and color.  He does seem like a younger deer, I wonder what he could have looked like in two years.  I wouldn't bring up a score as he doesn't score beans as a typical and not enough long nontyp points to shoot him up as a nontyp.  That doesn't take away from his wall factor though.

Right on Bone.....I know he would look real nice in my little Trophy Room. Sometimes we sure can get carried away with "The Score"...

lemondog and coach I think you are right on with your comments, all that really matters is that the guy who shot the buck is happy.  :twocents:

Wow. 

I have to say I'm totally taken aback by all the negativity and criticism of the hunter's decision to take it.  I challage each and every one of the naysayers to go out in the field and put crosshairs on that buck like that and refuse to pull the trigger.  How many of us would really let a buck like that get out of our sights?  Yeah...that's what I thought. 

How big is he?  There's nothing to judge him by, ect...  Who gives a damn?  I think people get all wrapped up about scores and points, and 'trash factors' or whatever.  Shut up! 

I've always felt that discussing scores and only scores when talking about a buck is detrimental to the sport and demeaning to the animal.  Respect the animal, instead of breaking it down to a bunch of measurements.  How big is he?  He's probably pretty damn big to the guy who shot him.  At that's all the matters.

Thank you for posting the pic - fantastic buck.  Love the trash and I would be very happy with it any day of the week.  Best of luck next year - you got your work cut out for you if your plan is to top the character in this one.

I guess i will play devils advocate, I can guarantee that there are members on this board that have done this very thing you say we haven't, or someone hasn't.  I know for a fact that deer like this in this B&C class have been seen, could have been shot and passed on for whatever reason.

Now to the important thing, awesome buck!! Congrats to the hunter and love all that trash!!!! would love to hear the story on here or in a magazine somewhere.

Wow.  I can't even imagine.  To each his own, I guess.
I just don't appreciate those who do go out and 'Trophy Hunt' putting down other hunter's bucks.
