I don't have many quality bucks....so I would shoot that dear in the first minute of my hunt.

The week back left fork appears to be a genetic trait in a certain area. ;)

I get too worked up in the field.
Post by: jrebel on November 04, 2014, 07:43:28 PM
What do you think this buck scored? I ask cause I think most are like me....they don't have a great understanding of what a 170 buck really looks like.

Great width, average mass, small forks.

Expectations are what keeps ya looking, he's got a room full of 160s into 180s from washington so something that scores well or trips his trigger, all in the eye of the beholder... Looking at this guy now... Hardest one to pass yet :-)
Yep boom that's a booner dink right there, seriously that's worth a quality tag to me. :drool:
Wonder how he has survived with those easily seen eyeguards? :dunno:

I measure bucks by pounds, not inches. He sure looks to be over my 100 pound minimum from the pictures you had.
Yeah but people don't apply for those quality hunts just to kill meat bucks.
He's definitely over your minimum two times :chuckle:

I'd say that buck is 150- 160. Not a lot on the g3 but the G2's are long, mains and spread credit are decent and g4 is ok. I would shoot it:-)
Bingo....it was 157 and change 27 7/8" wide. It is hands down the biggest deer I have killed and is a beauty. The mass is actually pretty nice with large narly eye guards. I look at it and then think about a 170" buck....I would poo my pants at a chance to kill a 170" buck.
I think the 170+ inch bucks are few and far between.
Post by: crabcreekhunter on November 05, 2014, 08:43:34 PM
170+ bucks are few are far between that's for sure, especially in this state a true trophy... Nice buck by the way...bump that 170 to 190 and I figure maybe 4:1000 (bucks)... My general season buck this year, excited to see what the next two weeks brings to my father!I'd say that buck is 150- 160. Not a lot on the g3 but the G2's are long, mains and spread credit are decent and g4 is ok. I would shoot it:-)

That is a dandy buck....how wide and what does that score? I only ask because we have thrown numbers around. It really wouldn't matter to me cause it is a beauty and would die any day if I had a tag. :tup:

The full moon hurts no doubt. The clear weather should be good for some photo ops though, where's a few to hold us over? :chuckle:Well most bucks have been bedded on the shady sides and looking into the sun doesn't offer great photo ops but this guy almost went home with my dad, crummy pic but had amazing fronts and decent backs not a huge frame

That's a hard pic to judge by, but he looks like a dandy
Yeah, I'm afraid my trigger finger would have twitched and I'd have notched that tag... :)

Tell your dad good job on his buck, but more important he had a great hunt that you shared with him! :llam:
Just one question was the buck still walking all these years because his eye guards are less than one inch?
It's good the quality tags let you take any buck, because if I was in your shoes not seeing the right buck I would have been pissed not to be able to shoot him! :drool:
