I'd have rather had it than some of the ten and 12s I've scored that cleared 170 to make the book.

I can tell you this much about that buck... he won't score crap until you kill him. And I'd for sure whack him... what a gorgeous deer!

deductions are fer taxes..have a nice day

I will probably never get a shot at him but I will give it one hell of a try all 9 days of rifle season if I don't let the air out of him with my bow this weekend. I would like nothing better than to be able to put my hands on him.

I took a close look using the rule of thumb: '7 1/2 inches from the corner of the eye to the tip of the nose. This is what I come up with.



He's a stud for sure. I hope you get him so I can see how close my guesstimate was. Good luck.

I think this is fairly close, but I'm thinking those G2's are over 12". I'd say 13" for G2 and 11" for G3. I think the beams are over 25" as well.

EASILY grosses over 160.

I'm not seeing 13" G2's or 11" G3's. If the beams are longer than 25" it isn't by much. Either way, he's a shooter.

wvOHIOfan you put some work into it. Thanks and I agree he is a shooter regardless. If I am lucky enough to see him and I am looking at the horns he prolly won't gross about 80 after I shoot because I will likely knock one side off anyway.lol
