Default Hunting buddies first Buck..19 countable points

After spotting this bad boy as well as a couple other nice bucks) on one of our cams, we let our newest hunting partner (who was looking to score his first buck) use a stand not far from the cam. After about 30 minutes, we here the shot, He states on the radio that he just nailed a bruiser buck. He didn't realize that it was this big boy as he only saw some of his rack and he was really just trying to make the shot , not to get buck fever to bad. After he found him laying near a downed log, he could barely breath and that he was just going to faint. I would have felt the same...He had 19 countable points and a 24 inch inside spread, right now he is at the taxadermy man who will give him a call after he scores him. The rough guess right now is between 180 and 190...

Tell him Congrats!! I always get excited to were I can barely breath too. But, if I shot that one I'd probably pass out. The deer looks real skinny though was there any problems with it?

That's a great buck, especially for a first, and that was mighty gracious to put him in a stand where he could potentially take such an animal.......but...........not to burst a bubble but I'm going to say that that buck is going to score in the 170s and not 180s to 190s. I may be wrong, just not seeing the mass and tine length necessary for that high a score.

I actually agree that its not going to score in the 180 s or better. i would say upper 160's
to 170. I was waiting on someone to say that I didnt want to be the bad guy but is a great buck for sure
