I managed to catch this buck on camera last week. I am interested to hear what you guys would think that he would score. While you are at it, how wide do you think he is? Enjoy!

What have you been feeding him? J/K. You'd really make some people sick when they stop by to tell you about their hunt and you show them that boy out the back. Great stuff. | |||

Nice Buck If he were out on huntable land and you had a tag in your pocket he would be a contender, No score required! Glad I looked at ravenr's post before I posted I would have been a little more conservative on the score and spread but I'll go with him, he's better at it than me. Very nice Buck with good mass, I like him. | |||

Hunting tip #1 They are far easier to measure when they are not running around on all fours. Lay him down and then get a tape on him  | |||

Mighty nice Buck. I like the 'Narly ones. "The liberty enjoyed by the people of these states of worshiping Almighty God agreeably to their conscience, is not only among the choicest of their blessings, but also of their rights." ~George Washington - 1789 | |||

you can't score a buck from a picture as far as I know, but he is a shooter..If I had to guess I would say he is 200 give or take 10... Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

Hey Man, what do you think about getting some of the busted down trucks out of your front yard? Starting to look a little Dillingham'ish. | |||

 I wish that buck was in my yard! I actually saw this buck in Colorado. We do have some big bucks that wander around town here in Rock Springs(nothing as big as that bruiser). They seem to travel up a natural funnel and on to the community college campus. They have probably been using that trail for the past few thousand years. Some local idiot killed one with a cross-bow last year(out of season, no tag, etc.)and got nailed for it.

Here is the rest of the story.... I was on my way to a week long hunt in Central Colorado and I saw about 400 deer in a 50 mile stretch. Deer sightings tapered off and stopped by the time I reached the hunting area. In the week of hunting only 3 deer were spotted by out 4 man group. One of the deer was a small 4pt and one of the guys killed it. The deer were just not up and moving. On the way home from this disappointing hunt I saw this buck in the same 50 mile stretch. I probably saw 250 on this stretch on my way home. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure.

Looks like that buck's ancestor's flirted with a fallow deer at one point! Damn nice deer! Like others pointed out, would love to run across him on legal ground with a tag in my pocket. On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
