Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

[8D]Gotta love the time of day that he comes out:eek:. What do you guys think he will score?

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

another.

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

She thought I forgot about her:D

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

150's by the time he sheds the velvet.

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Sure is a nice looking deer! Good luck with him this season!

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Those velvet bucks are hard to score. But he has to be in the 150's and still growing

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

I would say 150's as well. Good Buck!

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

He'll be a 160"+ buck when he's done growing!! Thats a pretty looking buck.

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

I'm going to say high 150's and might even break 160. That's the best looking buck I've seen all summer!

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

I'm thinking the bucks are damn near 2/3rds done growing. What you think?

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Nice buck ! Im gonna agree 150's

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Boy he's super clean too........I bet by the time he's done he has less than a couple inches side to side deductions.
I bet he winds up about 155" or so gross and still nets 150+.

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

he will go at least 160 when he sheds his velvet

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

agreed. I about ran over a nice buck in my brand new, to me, truck the other afternoon....which would have been devistating.[&:] Odd to see deer out and about at 2:30 in the afternoon...this one would fetch about 120 or so. Id bet hes a poper by the time season rolls around. It actually crossed the street at a good friend's farm, the wheels started turning in my head immediately;).

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

No drool here. Small bodied, not a shooter yet! Give him another year!

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

i would say low to mid 150s i agree i would let him have one more year an he would be huge

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

thats gonna be a giant!
good luck

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

I understand what you guys mean when you say give him another year, but with the crazy butt shotgun hunters that run through this farm and the fact that another guy has permission to hunt it shotgun season this guy will not get passed up if left up to me. If I dont get him I will be praying to God that he lives another year.
There are other bucks that could be just a smidge smaller but close to his size around.:)

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Agreed Schultzy. Here in IL. they seem to be anyway. I've been glassing hard the last two weeks and this is the first year that I've been disappointed. I have yet to see one that makes me say " My my would you look at that!" We had some of the worst flooding here in over 150 yrs. Our crops our in terrible shape and corn fields are almost non-existent. Farmers gave up on corn and decided to plant late beans. This is really killing our antler growth. I've only seen 3 bucks that will push 150" when done. Usually I've seen 3-4 booners by now. Not good, not good.

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Please don't take this as an insult.....as I'm just talking about the buck as he scores, right now. I just don't see 150". I'd say around 142. I just scored him (in my head) as an 8 pointer and then added the G4's.

If these guys are going on his full growth potential.....then I hope they're right! My '07 buck looked to be about 115" in velvet.....and scored 103" when I got him back from the taxi.

Good luck with him.....and I wouldn't let him grow another SECOND if I saw him.;)

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Hard telling with that mass of velvet on its head, but im going to guess 145-148

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

How Big??

Big enough!!;)Shoot that Dude if you get a chance!:D

He's 150's for sure and maybe 160 when he's finished. Kill him and let us know. Like has been noted already he is Super clean.

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

so hard to judge with velvet on those bones! Makes them look bigger than they are! He is a dandy no doubt!

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

No way to tell with velvet. But as he sits he is not a 150" deer. 140's maybe.

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Hey Buck.....Like I said....awesome deer. But here's why I said what I did. I looked back through my gamecam photos. The first photo was taken on July 20th, 2007. I remember a few guys saying (Germ and MOTOWN, for 2) that they thought he was a 115" deer (or would be). See photo....



I shot him on Nov. 6th....and got him back from the Taxidermist sometime early in '08. When I put a tape on him.....he measured 103-1/8".

He's the buck over my left shoulder.



So I wasn't just making this stuff up.....OR in ANY way trying to diminish the trophy status of the one you have photos of. I hope I'm wrong in a BIG way!

Like I said....I HOPE your deer grows and grows! Good luck with him!

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

156 3/8's

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Great looking buck, maybe its just the pix,but hedoesn't look that old either, nice, very nice though. Good luck.

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

This time of year a buck will normally grow a lot in 2 or 3 weeks. A lot different were this pic taken the end of July;)

You get the chance shoot him!:DYou won't be disappointed you can tell that Buck is No Dink!

Dan

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

This buck has black caps already which is a sign that he is pretty much done growing. I don't think he will make 150 mid 140

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

I wouldn't even venture to say just yet!!!! But he is a heck of a good buck....Good Luck with him!!!

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Pictures are deceptive as you really cannot tell body size....compare the body to any other deer you have pics of in similar positions. If he is on the small side for what my WAG is a 3.5 year old, he would be in the 140s...if he is larger bodied than he initially appears he would be 160s this fall. Velvet bucks are deceptive - I think this one might add an inch to each tine but not much more.

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

It is hard to say right now, hard to judge mass. Good tines and they are only going to get better. From the pictures, looks like he will have have few deductions. I would think he will finish up in the high 150's-mid 160's. GREAT looking buck. You are going to need a good spot light if he keep that pattern up. The good thing is you know he is there, so come rut time he might get stupid and pop out in the day light. Good luck getting on him!

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Being slightly generous I have him around 145" right now, how much will he put on when he finishes? Just show him to us this fall after you put a tape to him.;)

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

If he stops now, I would say mid 140's but if he keeps growing which it appears he will add some main beam length and probably some tine length, then he will go 150's but he could make it into the 160's if he keeps on growing. Great buck though!!! I wouldn't be waiting til next year except to pick him up from the taxidermist;)

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

I agree 150's after velvet shed. Very nice buck already ;)

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

Im gonna agree a little bit with you guys that say that he has a small body. I will post pics of a doe in as close to the exact postion he is in with the same size picture. Then I will show a pic of a deer witha big body. Through my experience though, I know that these deer tend to pack on some serious weight in the summer. All the deer look like skeletons right away in the spring and early summer.

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

good sized doe

RE: Please hold the drool. What will he score?
 

This buck is closer to the camera but you can tell how thick and muscular he is. I REALLY hope that he made it. I hope to post some pics of him later on;)
