Nice buck. Rememeber a trophy to some may not be a trophy to others and vice versa.

I would have never thought from the picture that the buck would go 130 either. his brows were 1 1/2" long, absolutely tiny i know. the mass wasn't as bad as it looks. he carried good mass for a 3 1/2 year old buck. i mean, if you want my measurements from when i scored them, i'll gladly post them. i didn't even think they were the same buck until i noticed they had the same bump in their left g-2. the picture didn't complement him by any means.

kill now verus let him grow? i judged the buck to be a 135" 3 1/2 year old, how is that kill now? i pass up bucks, im huge in QDM.

i try to post a trail cam picture and i get questioned about my scoring skills and ridiculed for passing up a 135" buck. what has this world turned into..

Congratulations. I agree with cutter. Some people don't have the chance to shoot, much less even see a 160+ class buck in their lifetime. I have two bucks on the wall that are probably 125-135 and to me, they are truly trophies because of what they represent...hunts with my dad when he was still able to hunt and a when it was just my wife and I out in the great outdoors.

Congrat's......I think it's a very nice deer. Where I hunt I would gladly take him and I would be excited to get him on film.

I have no problem with hunters who practice QDM. I applaud them for what they do. I do have a tremendous problem with the attitude that so many of the QDM's have. Just look at some of the quotes.......

Wait, your trying to tell me that buck goes 130? No way. Looks as if he doesn't even have aby brows, and he has weak mass.

What are you guys......7 years old? C'mon guys. Give it up. You hunt for BIG deer.......we get it!! You do not have to prove yourself over and over agian by berating and being condecending to other hunters.

Hey Deerslayer......you don't have to make excuses............It's a nice buck and alot of hunters would love to of had a chance at it..

Sorry to complian, but I get so sick of this crap. I have never heard hunters put down other hunters until I started reading this board......

Nice buck deerslayer. As if you had any control over the pose. Neat picture.

DoctorDeath, I was in no way trying to an arse or say that the big isn't nice. I was simply sating that I don't believe the buck scores 130. Hopefully you can get him
