Title: decent trail cam buck
Post by: EastWaViking on August 22, 2009, 09:30:21 AM: after several weeks and hundreds of pictures of the same doe and fawn, I got this picture of what looks like a decent buck wandering by my trail cam last night. I hope we wasn't just passing through, and decides to stay a while.

Post by: EastWaViking on August 22, 2009, 11:55:49 AM: from what I can tell with my poor quality trail cam pic, he looks like a straight 6x6. What do you think he'd score? I'm guessing he might squeeze into P&Y?

Post by: runningboard on August 22, 2009, 12:36:22 PM: very nice! I think he'll make P & Y pretty easily. not gonna embarrass myself with a score guess but the minimum for typical whitetail is 125

Post by: ELKBURGER on August 22, 2009, 01:17:38 PM: I'd say p&y for sure-dandy, symetrical buck

Post by: blacktailer on August 22, 2009, 08:03:36 PM: Viking. That is a Stud of a buck. 100% guaranteed he will go P & Y. As you mentioned, he is most likely a good solid 6 x 6 and very symmetrical. I'd sure like to get a look at him from the front. Hard to guage the mass, main beam length and inside spread, but if they all fell into place, I think he could go 160 B & C; most definately 150+. Just my opinion, but great looking buck.

Post by: EastWaViking on August 22, 2009, 08:25:18 PM: thanks for the info blacktailer. If I get another picture of him, especially straight on, I'll be sure and post it.
Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: blacktailer on August 22, 2009, 08:53:30 PM: It's just an opinion. I've been fooled before from pics, but he looks real nice. I'd like to see how long those brows are; assuming they're there. Nonetheless, get him on the ground and lets worry about the score later!!!! Thanks for posting

Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: ELKBURGER on August 23, 2009, 08:33:00 AM: A front veiw would really tell. Width and G1s. Definetly, get him on the ground!

Post by: bow4elk on August 23, 2009, 08:07:32 PM: Looks like he'll make the book. That is, any book you choose to enter him in. Love to see WA whitetails holding their own against IA, KS, IL, etc.

Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: Pathfinder101 on August 24, 2009, 07:45:46 PM: I'd say 150" from the angle provided. He will surely make P&Y.
Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: EastWaViking on August 28, 2009, 07:08:51 AM: Checked the trail cam this morning and got one more picture of him. It's a little better than the last pic. He's not very wide looking, but I still hope I see him during the season!
Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: halflife65 on August 28, 2009, 07:21:05 AM: That's a really nice buck. I don't think I'd worry too much about being really wide. SHOOT! SHOOT!
Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: MtnMuley on August 28, 2009, 07:38:04 AM: I'm pretty sure that's just a little better than a decent buck. STUD!!

:yeah:
Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: EastWaViking on August 28, 2009, 09:46:50 AM: ok, now that there is a better picture, what do you think he scores? I'm guessing 140-ish.
Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: HUNT on August 28, 2009, 10:13:10 AM: 155 or so. Thats a great buck. BOOM!
Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: Pathfinder101 on August 28, 2009, 10:21:53 AM: Im still saying "150-ish". I would say 140's if he didn't have that 6th point.
Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: croix on August 28, 2009, 10:26:43 AM: G3's look pretty long and I don't see much in the way of deductions. True he is not REALLY wide but I bet he still makes 150+ If I got him he would certainly be on the wall. Great lookin buck. Go get him!
Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: lewy on August 28, 2009, 10:29:49 AM: Wow, real nice buck!! Hope you get a whack at him!
Title: Re: decent trail cam buck
Post by: MtnMuley on August 28, 2009, 12:17:02 PM: I rough scored him with my guesses and came up with exactly 150". Looks like a 155" incher though! :guns:

Post by: firecrotch on August 28, 2009, 01:24:08 PM: hell of a buck there EastWa

Post by: bowhunterforever on August 28, 2009, 05:59:24 PM: Thats a dandy! :drool: I'd say 155ish.
