I have seen him from the stand once. My neighbor shot him once bowhunting...hit him too far back but he is going to be ok.And I almost hit him at night with my truck twice after he was shot! lol. I think is is somewhere around 23" inside.

Thats deffinately not the buck I was guessing at...[8D]

The deer you have up there now is quite a bit bigger.:D

RE: Look and tell me what you think. (updated)
 

Sounds like he's got 9 lives! 23" Inside spread, that Is sweet!!

So what ya going to do?

RE: Look and tell me what you think. (updated)
 

I dont know...hopefully I get some pics of him out of velvet. It sure would be hard to pass him up if he gave me a good shot.

RE: Look and tell me what you think. (updated)
 

yeah, 138" and I sure wouldn't shoot him :eek:

RE: Look and tell me what you think. (updated)
 

I don't think he's far from being 140. I think you should take him either way.
He's the buck you would regret not shooting when you don't see anything the rest of the season.(been there. done that.)

RE: Look and tell me what you think. (updated)
 

All I know is that he has potential to be giant next year.

RE: Look and tell me what you think. (updated)
 

Velvet makes it tough to judge.. he has the potential for 140, but i think it comes down to tine length and mass after that velvet is gone. And I have a deer on the wall with a 21" inside spread, but his main beams dont come near as close to each other as this deer. I would also put his inside spread at 23-24", he definately looks wider than my 21", he might even hit 25". If you are 90% or better sure that he is only 3.5, and if you have less than 300 acres of land I would take him in a heartbeat. By your question im assuming you are managing for some serious horn porn. Whether or not to shoot this deer is definately relevant to your hunting situation. Everyone doesn't hunt the same areas, and definately don't see the same quality deer as everyone else in the country so the decision has to be completely based on YOUR judgement and area rules if applicable.

Pretty long beams, massive spread, decent tines & mass.
I would guess at high 130's

RE: Look and tell me what you think. (updated)
 

I got 136". He's got GREAT mass!
