Shed, thats a heartbreaker man. What a toad 8 pt.

I hadTyler with me one of the times I passed. He figured 135 and gave me grief for saying 140. [8D] That rack even fooled him and he generally is within 5 inches. Iam happy beingwithin 10. He is very good at guess-timating.

Bring some of your sheds this summer if you make it. You can test us.

note to self.... Troys big4pt went 71.

you guys meant gross score on that buck you passed right?


bring sheds? sure.. but what ya gonna look at when you come out here to hunt elk next year! LOL I'll throw in some elk sheds too.. if I come

Yep, we only talk gross score here. I couldn't even tell you what any of the bucks we have shot would net score. Never had a reason/desire to figure it out.

130" maybe 135"

Heck mine was the bggest buck (bodied) in my woods. He walked by me at 20 yds....last day of the season. I HAD to "pass", though.....out of tags.

Legitimate "pass".....would be a small 8-pointer that wouldn't go 80". I've got a lot of deer.....just not a lot of BIG ones.

My first year bowhunting,( 2 1/2 years ago), I passed a spike several times. My second year bowhunting, (last season), I didn't pass a spike! I also killed a 7 point that went about 80". This year if its not 100" or better it walks. Does get no passes BTW.

I would say my biggest pass was around 110-115, 8 point. Knew there were bigger deer in the area but never got to see one.

Bowhuntercop, beautiful buck. That wouldnt happen to be the rack that is over at Rob's for a while was it? If so you and your buddys were some lucky individuals to hunt that big bow.

I pass on a couple of 115"-120" 2.5 year olds nearly every year. I just won't shoot one under 3.5 years old off of the family farms. Now, come the late season on public land??? That is another story.

To me, a 3.5 year old with alesser scoringrack than a large2.5 year old is still a "trophy". Just the way I look at things.

I passed on a 9 point last year gross score about 100 can't wait to see what he is like this year.
