Guess the score??

[ohiohntr]

LAST EDITED ON Feb-02-07 AT 08:23AM (MST)[p]I saw a few others putting up their bucks for guessing and thought it would be fun to do the same.

This is the last muley I shot in Idaho before moving East. Sorry the field kill photo is poor quality. I highly regret not taking better photos at that time. I was still in shock at the size of the deer and not thinking straight.
The last photo was taken after mounting.

Guess the gross and net.

I will post the scores in a couple days. Good luck

Hint: he is 35 1/2 inches wide from cheater tip to cheater tip.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-02-07 AT 02:46PM (MST)[p]Well, some of the gross guesses are pretty close. One is within 5/8 inch. Nobody is close on the net though.

That's not dust, it's velvet.


I didn't realize how dusty he was until I saw the close up pictures. He sits high up in the corner of the room and looks fine from a distance. As I was posting them, I thought to myself, "I hope nobady notices the dust". Oh well, He's cleaned off now. I hope the "mass" measurements didn't drop too much.

nets are for fish unless he makes the all time book then lets go fishing.

An interesting side story to this buck is the spring before I shot him, I was rockchuck hunting on a ranch about 15 miles from where I shot this deer. I was hiking through the sage and found this shed.

I remember thinking I would love to get a deer like him in the fall. Well 6 months later, the first time I saw him was when I shot him. It wasn't until I got home and glanced at the shed that I noticed the similarities. There is an extra point coming off the g-3 on the shed, but other then that, the points are identical, except smaller.

I was wondering if anybody knew the migration distance of deer.

I assume the shed is off of this buck, but 15 miles seems a good distance for him to travel. The elevation between the two locations is very similar.

I wish I had enough luck every year to shoot the buck with the biggest shed I found.

I would guess 214 gross. 204net.
Saw you wanted net too. No matter what the score it's a hog.
Awesome buck congrats and thanks for sharing.
Best,

236 5/8 gross and 228 2/8 net.

This deer is acually tricking me, my first reaction was about 225 Gross. but when I broke it down I came out with 252 Gross and knowing that was wrong I did it again being even more conservitve and got like 247, So I went with what Roy said and just added the 5/8 (knowing that someone was 5/8 off). So I'm cheatin off of you roy. But I was obviosly doing something wrong.

Well, There were some good guesses.

I think Slider was the closet with 219. There were two others with 220.


I have never had him officially scored, but the taxidermist who mounted him scored him at 218 3/8 gross and 210 3/8 net.

I have also taped him myself about a dozen times and always come within about 3/4 inch of that. So I figure it must be close.

I think if his left g4 had matched the right, he would have been B&C awards. I'm still happy with him.

Thanks everybody for looking and guessing

Was the story in Eastmans a while a go? ron

 

[ohiohntr]

No it was never in any magazine. There was an article written in trophy hunter about 8-9 years ago titled "The Prayer" that mentions this buck. The author had hunted this buck and then ended up getting a larger one after I shot this one.
