2006 Muzzleloader Buck Down

[utahheadgear]

Haven't seen too many pictures of Muleys that have been taken yet this season so I figured I'd post these of my '06 muzzleloader buck before all the real big ones start rolling in and making mine look small. I had a great hunt as you can see, and took my best buck to date. I do know what the buck scores, but would be interested in hearing some of your guesses. Let's have 'em.

Good luck to all this fall!!

Great buck. His antlers almost match the color of the mountains in the background.

 

[UTmonsterslayer]

[NvrEnuf]

Sweet man! That's a great looking buck. I'll venture a guess that he's 24" wide and gross scores 183 maybe?

Very nice buck! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Great looking buck. He has some awsome forks on him.

 

[quickdrawkinker]

Good looking buck! Love those deep forks. I'm guessing that buck is right around 178". Where are you?

LAST EDITED ON Sep-21-06 AT 11:56AM (MST)[p]I guess 167.. Very nice buck, great forks, good mass. Congrats

The more I look at the picture it looks bigger than my first guess, here is my second guess 175-180

 

[MattB]

Great looking High Country muley! It sure looks pretty similar to my BC early season muley so im gonna guess 170-175".

 

[muzz]

that is a great buck man! I hope I do as well. I would say he is with the few guessed already 170 class deer.

nice job.

 

[grizzmoose]

Excellent deer! Great photographs as well. Congrats on a great trophy.

Very nice buck!! Solid 175-180....

 

[idabigbuck]

Great buck, I'm guessing a lot closer to 190 than 180. Look at the mass and long forks. Congratulations!!!

 

[scottyboy]

beautiful photos!! And congrats on a great buck.

 

[Dean Parisian]

Great great photo's..........thanks for sharing your hunt.....

hunts like that make the best memories ........and a great buck too, did the gorgeous country show you even bigger bucks??

 

[tylercreek2]

very nice, he looks heavy,

 

[BrianID]

Great looking buck and thanks for sharing the pictures.
I would guess 168" gross with minimal deductions for a net score close to the gross score.

 

[MrB]

Great pictures! Congratulations on a great hunt. I will guess 161" gross.
Thanks for sharing, Mike

 

[utahheadgear]

I'm impressed with the score estimates, most of you were very close. We put the tape to him twice. The first time we came up right at 180" gross. The second time added up to about an inch and a half less, 178 4/8" gross.

I'm pretty sure we did a better job scoring the first time around.

Either way, I'm happy with him. He was a bit short in the main beam and lacked the inside spread to reach that 190" mark, but had everything else, and that was enough for me.

 

[borntohunt]

Awesome Buck! I love the long tines and the velvet hanging is unreal. Looks like some great country aswell. My guess was right around 180 - the first thing I thought when I saw the second picture was if only the main beams were a bit longer that thing might be slose to 190. Any way you look at him, he is a real beautiful buck and a trophy in anybodys book. Hope that I will be as furtunate.

What state?

[swbuckmaster]

Nice buck preston! What happend to your bow? Was this a draw unit? You always seem to get a big buck!

 

[COLO3D]

I am going to guess somewhere between 178 4/8"-180". If I'm right do I get a freee dozen arrows?

Great buck! I am truly jealous!

 

[Prism]

Awesome buck! Congrats on one heck of an animal. That make a really cool mount with the velvet hanging down like that.

Gotta love it over there

[freedivr2]

Great work, nice lookin buck. Gotta love that high country living! I'm guessin 184 green

 

[hunt1]

Are you planning on mounting that toad? It'd be pretty neat to see if your taxidermist can save the velvet to look as it did when you got him (or have you stripped the velvet off)?

 

[GooseHunterJr]

Congrats that is a nice buck.....

I am curious what ML were you shooting!

 

[GooseHunterJr]

Congrats that is a great buck.

What kind of ML were you shooting?
