I have been hunting for 25+ years, biggest deer I have ever killed. How big is it?
I took an 4x4 that probably weighs around 180. It was taken in the Southwest Ozarks in Missouri about an hour east of Springfield on our private farm. I have killed multiple 5x5s but nothing with the spread and weight of this deer. We went to B&C website to use their calculator to measure the points. According to them it would be a 149. How big is that? How big do typical whitetails get down here in southern Missouri? How many points does it take to cross the threshold of big and really big? I am just talking about typical versus non. I am just curious, I'm not going to submit it for a trophy or anything. I know its not that big. Any help or advice would be great.
I included some pics, I am the young one that looks about 20. For reference I am 6 feet.
Thanks

Would you say a 149 is accurate?
Thanks for the compliments. It was a hell of a morning. I had shots at another 6 point and a large doe but let them go because they were very easy shots. Total we saw 10 different deer in 2 hours, 5 of them bucks.
