WOW, he's a dandy, congrats and way to stick with it!
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Way to keep at it!   :tup:  Beautiful trophy and one you'll never forget.

I took one look at those pictures and the first word that came to mind was "perfect".  Not sure what it is about that deer, but it's my favorite I've seen on here so far this year.  Nicely done!

Bornforhorns... I have not scored him but my taxi is gonna give me a rough score soon.  Anyone want to venture a field score guess on him?   He has an 3 or so inch point on the right side thats hard to see and his left brow tine is broken off.  I would love to hear what folks think he may score.   I would like to think he is P&Y elligible.     Thanks for the good words guys!

Heck of a buck!  Congrats!!  :tup:

You'll make P&Y net with 4" to spare: at least that's my guess.  I think he'll be 150" gross with 11" of deductions.

I thought P&Y only needed to score 125" net... :dunno:
I'd say he's a 150" buck gross...

Great looking 4x. Like those big guys, like a big 3x muley.

Was he still alive when you found him? I only ask b/c in the first pic it looks like you got his legs and body arranged good for a photo (great deer again...). Nice job.

Whoops.  I thought it was 135" minimum.  You'll have 14" to spare according to my very uneducated guesstimations.

SORRY GUYS...I messed up the poll and left out the 140 - 150.   It was just scored at 145 1/8.   I was just curious what everyone thought.  All that matters to me....its my biggest buck!   Thanks so much for all the positive feedback.   I will post the pics of the mount in a year or so when its done.     Im still like a lil kid with a new bike....I cant believe i took one that big.
