Wouldn't there only be 3 mass measurements for the right side?

RE: Close up pics of 2004 contest buck
 

A buck gets 4 mass measurements per side no matter the number of points

Nice deer ,thats all that matters.Contest I wonder sometimes ?? Soon hunters will be taking steroids. Hunting is not suppose to be a competition. Deer are monted and scored in respect of the animal,not the glory of the hunter

I won't hold it against you buddy!!

RE: Close up pics of 2004 contest buck
 

Oh yeah, I forgot that, been awhile since I taped one[:'(]

RE: Close up pics of 2004 contest buck
 

Yep, I can see how he grosses 160. The original glance shows 145 inch deer, however, it is deceiving, b/c he has another 10+ inches of junk points.


Either way, one hell of a deer!!

i was wondering why there was masking tape on the right beam? does it have your name or something on it? ive never seen that here in a tax. shop. oh, its a great buck! i would be proud of it.

RE: Close up pics of 2004 contest buck
 

Yes, the tape has my name on it.

And thanks guys.

RE: Close up pics of 2004 contest buck
 

Hasn't been that long. You layed the tape down on a pretty good one last year:) Plus you still have the rut this year? Don't it hit late Dec and Early Jan down there?

RE: Close up pics of 2004 contest buck
 

awesome buck! I would love to see one of those deer in my woods. Just curious what did he dress out at?
I like the pose too, is he blowing or grunting, whats that called that pose?

Anyway killer deer, Like cardeer said its a beautiful animal whatever the hell it measures
