Shooter or not ???

Do you think this buck will be a shooter in Southwest Wyoming this year?? I would bet he will grow another 6 inches on each of his points.

I would shoot him but I doubt he grows another 48 inches.

That picture was taken 2 weeks ago. I saw him recently and he has grown 3 inches bigger already, but I didn't get a picture.

He'll be a shooter. Don't worry about the new inches. He's got good mass and is a mature buck. I'd likely stack him up. Keep an eye on him.

I'd shoot him.

OK that makes more sense I guess I should have asked when the picture was taken. A lot of the Bucks guys are posting on here are farther along in there growth so I was judging it off them.
With that said if you add 48" and with those eye guards that Buck is going to be a Toad in my book I would shoot that thing in a heart beat in most any unit.

Yep. In a heart bet. Great mass and eye gaurds to go with his frame.

Those eyeguards are awesome. I think that will be a buck you want to keep track of.

Yep, fine mature buck and he's a true trophy to most of us.

Definite shooter. Do you have a tag?

3 more inches per might be a stretch but he's gonna be a beaut anyway! Good luck roadless!

RoadlessHunter · Jul 12, 2016

This is the latest picture that I have of him. I would say +3 inches on the fronts and +2 on the backs in the last 2 weeks maybe another 3 inches before he is done. The tips are still heavy.

Yes I would shoot him

LAST EDITED ON Jul-12-16 AT 11:20PM (MST)[p]Velvet bucks arent always appealing to me, but I know come fall, when that bucks neck swells up, ide be tripping over myself trying to get into a shooting position. He's a shooter for sure. Thank you for sharing.
