A rifle hunter will most likely get him next year.

Nice buck though!

that's a nice deer and a good one to let grow, but it's not 160. i doubt it would score more than 140.
I don't mean to sound rude but we found his shed and it scored 69 6/8 inches and with an estimated 18" inside spread he would be around 155"
Its possible for someone else to shoot him but not likely because we own 1600 acres with food plots,water,bedding cover and does and his core area is smack dab in the middle of our property, and every year he gets older, his home base will shrink even more so unless he gets pushed from another dominant buck or hunting pressure( which isn't likely because we only let 6 people hunt the property) i think he is here to stay.

i don't mean to sound rude either, but i think you measured it wrong. those aren't 70 inch antlers.

Here i will give you the exact measurements .. . . . G1=7 4/8 G2=9 2/8 G3=11 G4=5 7/8 . . .M.B.=23 5/8 . . Mass lengths. . . M1=4 M2= 3 1/8 M3=2 7/8 M4= 2 6/8

i guess i'll have to take your word for it, but i still think you may be streching the tape a little. i've got a 72 inch shed at home here that looks much bigger. i guess i shouldn't even argue, it's a nice buck either way. good luck letting the air out of him next year.

hey thanx . . . i have some more pics of him that i will post that are actually good pics . . . . . . . ..these are either too dark and the one good one isn't taken at a very goodangle but hey if i did measure wrong and he is only 140-145, if he lives too next year he is stillgoing to be a giant

he'll definitely give you something to look forward to. is he the biggest buck on your property?

actually no. . . . we have5 on our property that are over 140. We have a giant buck that will go an estimated 180 with a 25 inch spread and 14 inch G-2's. Then we have another that is only 14 inches inside but has great tine length and will score pretty close to 150. Then 2 other ten points that will go 140-145. We have been managing our property for years now only shooting bucks that score over 150 or are 4 1/2 or older. My dad killed three bucks this year that were absolute giants. One was a 186" with his gun and then he killed 2 with his bow. One is an eight point that scored 157 and the other was a 20 point non-typical that scored right at 170. . . these are all green gross scores.
