The first pic is very deceiving. The other pics show more length that what you would expect from the first picture. I was thinking the 155-160 from the first pic then after looking at the others I would say 170-175. The brows on that deer have great character and it doesn't matter what he scores. I hope to see that one in a picture with someone. That is a beautiful deer.

165-170 NICE BUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is a beautiful buck


for what it is worth (not much this time of year) my guess is around 180 this fall...his tines still are round at the tips so he should get a few more inches there

Michael,I put him right around 170 also.

Just curious but will you be the only one going after him this fall or will other members of the HB team have a chance at him. And what areyour plans for him...hunt him early on his summer feeding pattern, wait till the rut, etc.???

Ill be hunting with Shawn (my hunting partner) most of the season. We switch off running the camera and hunting. Its his turn to hunt opening day so i guess he has first crack at him! Im not selfish, and would be just as happy for him to harvest it!

We will be after him early on his summer feeding patterns. I feel that is THE BEST way to kill a specific mature buck is early season when they are the most predictable.

Ill be going out to try and get some velvet footage of him again here in a week or two and then ill start watching him every night trying to get an idea of what hes doing.

Definitely sounds like a plan! Best of luck to the both of you! I know everyone here at HNI will want to know his real score.
