Hey All,
I made a post a couple days ago that had some pix of 5 elk and another of 3 mule deer.
Well, someone said that the mule deer pic was old news and that It was taken a while ago, so I wanted to find a big buck to show to you guys that was really taken last year and has never been seen by anyone.
Well last year I took some pix of this buck that we have had hanging around our property.
I would like to know what you think of him and If you think he will score over 200.

PS. The pic was taken at about 30 feet, If that helps at all.

Hey Sam,

I wish the pics were better and he is a nice buck. What I get from the buck and again I do not think the pics do the buck justice, but I would not put him over the mid 170's.

Here is a cool Colorado buck my cousin and I took a pic of between archery and 1st rifle season.

And you think sams pics dont give the buck justice?!! Those pics are way worst.

Seriously dude?! I would score Sams buck in the low 200.

Nice Buck Sam!

genesis I meant the pics probably "do not" give him justice. I did not say the pic was bad. It is hard to tell because the pics are small and hard to see well, but let me give you a run down of the buck in his pics. (By know means am I an official scorer, but I have scored many dear and elk and am usually within an 1" of animals that were officially scored). The buck in your pucture has at the most 23 1/2" main beams, No G1's, around 13" G2's, around 10" G3's, and 11" G4's. Mass measurements no more than 16" per side and that is being nice.
Inside spread credit of 23 1/2" and the extra 2.5" point on the right will put him at 172.5". Out side spread around 29 1/2".

This buck grosses 219 5/8's. This buck is 38 1/2 wide with 27" main beams and an inside spread of 27".

This buck is just over 205. This buck is 37" wide with 26" main beams and an inside spread of 26".

Dang nice bucks guys and thanks for posting.

elkkill before I saw your measurements I was guessing high 160's on the first buck also because the mass is not quite there and main beam length is a bit short.

Having said that I would be very proud to take that buck, he is a very nice buck. Just not quite a 200 incher.

I would have no problem shooting that great buck either!
