2010 Buck

DeerMadness · Sep 28, 2011

What would it score ? Also how does the mount look?

eyeguard · Sep 28, 2011

Hell if I know what he would score!... but I do know he's a damn nice buck! Congrats!

What state did you take him in DM?

Well so many guys here that can eyeball very well. I am not one of those guys. He is an Idaho deer. Thanks I enjoy the family room with the buck reminder of a great hunt.

He's a beaut and the Taxi work looks fantastic! I've got one very similar and he's in the mid 170's. I put yours in that range too! One can only wonder what a buck like that would be with one more year on him.

Congrats!!

DM Great buck and the mount looks good also. How is the spotting scope working out?

DeerMadness · Sep 28, 2011

Works great. Will be in a field test saturday for the long anticipated elk limites entry hunt unit 37.

DeerMadness · Sep 28, 2011

Thanks Sage! I wonder that too. If I bad waited 5 more days the bucks werehuge showing up near the end of the rut. I saw a couple mid 180 s and a cojple 190s. But I am still very happy with mine.

Good looking buck! Wide spread and decent forks, 165"-170". Your mainbeams aren't long enough to get your full spread credit but that width sure looks good! Nice taxidermy job too!

DeerMadness, A guy never knows and who can pass on a buck like yours. I couldn't and i don't think i can, he's a dandy!!

Here's a buck, my Uncle took it, similar to yours that got an extra year or two. Same type of frame but bigger and, unfortunately, he's got that weak G-4 on his left side. Anyway he's 34" on the outside, nice mass, and very tall! Even with the obvious deductions, he's still listed as one of Nevada's biggest typical bucks!

If a guy could only hold off knowing he'd get a chance a the same buck in a year or two...but it's tough to do, real tough!

I would say 170ish as well. Had a friend shoot one almost identical to it last week that was 28" wide, similar forks and it came in at 172" but is a gorgeous buck.

Nice idaho buck! If I was a betting man i'd say high 160's.

swbuckmaster · Sep 28, 2011

I also have him in the 160's

eldorado · Sep 28, 2011

Great buck and mount. I'd say he scores somewhere around 165-170".

170's. fatrooster.

Horn_Star · Sep 28, 2011

>170's. fatrooster.

not big enough... and get your money back for the taxi work Ive seen finger paintings with less screw ups

DeerMadness · Sep 29, 2011

What do you mean about screw ups?

huntindad4 · Sep 29, 2011

I would say he will tip into the 170's and the mount looks good although we can't see the little details that matter to some from the distance of the pic. You are happy with him and thats what matters.

Don't listen to the haters as they are the only thing wrong with this site, I wish founder would dump plicks like that, you know the Napoleanic little dikked cyber heroes!

Horn Star is just pissed his mom made him eat his vegetables and go to bed early last night.

Look out Forkie, FTW is watching us!

Wiszard · Sep 29, 2011

Great buck.....I'd say low 170's. I think the mount looks great. Not sure if Hornstar was joking but he must do a lot of finger painting.

How do you guys get that buck in the 160's?

He's got well over 20" beams, 18" g3's, 10" g4's. Almost 20" mass per side. Nearly 30" outside!

I get him at 185. He's a monster!

Cheers,
Pete

one_dryboot · Sep 29, 2011

185??? I hope your joking!

DeerMadness · Sep 29, 2011

He is being a smart asp just like hornstar. I think he is high 160s too just havent measured him. I dont give a good goosefart on a foggy day if people make wisecracks as the bros I work with do it all the time . They call each other meatgazers lol. . I know hs isnt a toad just a wide pretty buck. He dried out a little over 30".
