Title: What would he score?
Post by: Mallardmasher on September 18, 2023, 11:02:31 AM: Over the years I have determined, trail cam’s do not give the deer the justice they deserve. After looking at this pic, I had decided without dropper, he was not a shooter. After seeing him in person, my mind totally changed as it has for the last 5 years.

Post by: Mallardmasher on September 24, 2023, 07:03:51 PM: Better body comparison, when standing next to 4x5. His mass is very misleading, my problems with trail cams. His HI’s are 6.75 and 6.5”. Yes after seeing him in person I do not know what I was thinking. Mains are a tad over 22” each and dropper is 10 3/4”. His green gross is 160 7/8” helps when you get over 44” of mass

Post by: Mallardmasher on September 24, 2023, 10:35:05 PM: He was not the biggest, on cam this year, just the nastiest, It was a tough decision until I saw him, then his mass made it a no brainer, the 4x5 is going to be a stud in two years, if he makes it, what made the decision tough was, I was sitting on a multi season tag and a quality tag, so not many days I was unable to hunt. So another toad off to Alicia at last look taxidermy. Check her out under the taxidermy thread, and you can see some of the bucks she has already done for me, breath taking

Post by: LDennis24 on September 24, 2023, 10:57:40 PM: Ah yes, I didn't realize that was the same buck. I saw the taxidermy thread and the big blacktail post too! :dunno: :rolleyes:

You had me worried you passed this buck lol that's a unbelievable buck...beings this is a score thread I'd love to see the numbers and all the reference pictures you have..some of us nerds don't get to see 160 inch BTs very often

Pictures don't do these things justice!

Post by: Mallardmasher on September 25, 2023, 09:57:46 AM: I will post the numbers when I get home. A cable was used, but I will post some picks with soft tape for reference
