Here's some pictures. I'll try to get him scored tonight.







Here he is with my son back at the house this morning.

congrats on both the elk and mule deer! they both look like great animals. the mulie has a pretty unique rack! 12 days till i get started up with the gun in new york, cant wait!

Must have streched the tape a little tonight.

I ended up with 147 2/8. Multiplied by 86% for an adjustment for it being a mule deer and it ends up as 126.635 for the contest.

He loses almost 10" of spread credit because the front forks are considered the main beams instead of the rear forks. Outside spread is 25" but he only gets spread credit of 14 5/8" for the inside spread on the front forks.

Do I go ahead and enter it now or do I wait to see if I shoot a bigger whitetail here in Texas?

Here's the scoresheet.

Nice buck, congrats!

Thanks. I'll be headed down to my hunting land here in Texas tomorrow for a short weekend. Supposed to be rainy and cold so hopefully it will be a good one.

This guy is my #1 target, sure hope I see him! I think he should gross close to 160", I would love to check with a tape measure after he is on the ground!

Saw "Stubby" this morning several times and passed on him as well as a 2 1/2 year old 8 point last night and a different one this morning. Saw 7 does last night, but I don't think I'm going to take a doe this year, I've got PLENTY of meat in the freezer already!

Still hoping to see Mr. Big or Tilt.

No luck this weekend. Not sure when I'll get back down there, but hopefully I'll get a couple more tries in before season is over.

I got a couple doe on the new location.
The deer in the back ground, does that look like a doe?

WIbuckchaser

yep it's bald.

Well, I was able to get a decent 8 pointer. Grossed at 133 5/8. I'll get it entered into the contest when I pull the pics off my camera. Should be tonight. I hope everybody else has had good luck.



Enjoy guys.
