deducts will kill it.

Nets are for fish.  180+
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I'm not nearly as generous.  he might gross 170.  (I think high country said gross as well, not net), but its an awesome buck.

Doesn't look like that buck has the height to make 170 net.  Gross though yes, I would say solidly 170.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

You are right Bone, he did say gross.  When he said that "deductions would kill it" I assumed he was talking net.

I would say 175".   But hunt4 I have never seen a main frame 3 point go mid 160's.  Maybe it just a bad pic.

I agree hunt4.  Unless the pic really doesn't do it justice, I don't think thats a solid 160 deer.  Don't get your feathers in a ruffle as its only bs about score.  ITs a great buck.  I LOVE HOW he carries his mass.  Nice mature buck.

This deer ended up OFFICIALLY in the 150's.  I think it was 158 but would have to confirm....might be 155.  ANyways, even with the long tine length its hard to overcome missing that point.......  This would be one of those nets are for fish type of deer but........

99.9 percent of guys are shooting that thing on public land, I know I am.  The only way I would 'pass" and let him grow is if he was on a big private ranch where you could be reasonably assured he would make it.  If he is on public no way am I letting him walk.

ABSOLUTELY wouldn't pass that deer.  Character alone would get him killed.  Thats a keeper.

geez I did not mean to start a trend of parade raining. I simply did not see the high #'s that some did. I felt 165 on the gross was kinda generous. net-wize, there is some stuff that is gonna go backwards.......score it sci or say phuck it and be happy with a cool buck regardless. I would shoot it without reservation and I would call me friends and say look at the nice buck I took.
