Probably 90-100". nothing huge. Typically with me its all dink, dink, dink, then no brainer shooter. I don't often get those "iffy" sized bucks. Probably better that way for a guy with an itchy finger

In 05 I passed up two 155+ deer in Kansas and 3 140s in Kentucky, which in retrospect was a bad idea, I ate both tags and all were mature great bucks. Greed got the best of me. I hunted a specific buck in both states.

That must be a PA. thing. I always see 4,6 and 8 point scrub racks.
I let a nice half rack that would have been an 8pt. or so, walk last year. I should have taken him. He was the only mature buck I say last year.I figured the buck he'd been fighting with would show soon...NOPE.

last october in montana, on the milk river where i go every year, i passed on a buck that i guessed to score around 140"...just because of the potential that this area has. It was the first day of our 6 day hunt, i could't do it, but i shoulda!

Since I have decided not to shoot anything I see(three years ago) I've only had the opertunity to pass on one spike and a doe during gun(already had my doe). I have gotten 8's the last two years.

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.
This is why us public land hunters get screwed.

No idea. Nice bucks though. I shot 5 bucks the first month of bow season about 6 or 7 years ago. Each was bigger than the previous one. I let a bunch go that year. I don't measure so I have no idea of scores. I see what people call 130s or whatever but would suspect it's like weight. It doesn't count until you put a scales to it. Most people can't come close to guessing a deers weight. I suspect there are an equal number that can't accurately give a score. I put little stock in the ones that weren't killed as far as score, weight or anything. It's just like not getting a shot to me. If you didn't kill it.... it doesn't count except as an adventure. And after all, that's what it's about.. having fun and being there.

145 inch 10 pointer 2 yrs ago. Peak rut, he strolled by and was obviously a young deer, maybe even a 2 1/2 yr old. He had a real nice frame but no mass, was real spindly. Great potential though

Last year a 146" twelve hoping he could live one more year but I think he got shot a mile down river from my place.
