General season buck

swsoren · Oct 22, 2013

This is my first post on Monster Muleys. I usually just read the post and look at the pics but this year I finally have something to post about. I killed this buck with a Utah general season tag that I drew with my fifth choice. After limited spotting time and indecision on whether to make the 2 ? hour drive from camp to my area opening morning I was lucky enough see this deer let alone harvest it. I am not a trophy hunter, I usually hunt for fun and meat. Any ideas on what he could score.

Congrats on an awesome buck! I am going to say it scores around 205.

RockMtHigh · Oct 22, 2013

Awesome buck, that thing is a stud!
A public land buck like that is pretty rare these days
And a much more respected trophy than any private land money buck!
Way to make it happen!

Dang, that buck is fantastic. Great character and he's got some serious size! I'd second AZ's guess. I would think he's somewhere in that region.

Hawkeye · Oct 22, 2013

Beautiful deer! I would guess 185 to 190. Congrats!

I'd best be putting in for a fifth choice unit!
That is a dandy buck, even in a limited entry unit.
Congratulations.
I wager it is north of 190 inches!

BrianID · Oct 22, 2013

great buck!
I think it will be very close to 200" gross
I'm guessing next year the unit you killed this buck in will no longer be your 5th choice.

bullskin · Oct 22, 2013

Congratulations on a great buck. I'd put him at under 200, and would love to hear what he tapes to when you get the chance.

JLDIV · Oct 22, 2013

Awesome buck. One of the best looking this year. Even better that it was on a general unit tag. I'd say definitely north of 205". Congrats on a buck of a lifetime.

WOW!!!! Awesome buck!!

mntman · Oct 22, 2013

Tremendous buck! lots of extra's on an already BIG frame! Hard to tell with out a side or angle view on length of main beams, they look really long though. 195-205 gross, Congrats!

Let me guess, you drive a 1 ton with oak trees for smoke stacks, 12" lift kit and 40" tires to pull a single place lawn mower trailer?

Kayak_to_hunt · Oct 22, 2013

Great buck congrats!

I would say he will push that 199 9/8 mark.

YELUM · Oct 22, 2013

I'll tell you wahat he scores, he scores HOLY SHITTTTTTT. What a beauty. Congrats.

Theres logic, and theres women. They don't go together.

YELUM · Oct 22, 2013

I'd say north of 210.

GLEDEASY · Oct 22, 2013

That's one heck of a buck. Thanks for sharing your trophy.

smoktem · Oct 22, 2013

Yelum is on the right track, frame is over 200 fo sho.

gb22 · Oct 22, 2013

Yep......ya' done REAL GOOD. Trophy hunter, lucky hunter or it was your turn.....any way you describe it, that's great public-land deer...as said, infinitely better than private-land deer.

Within the shadows, go quietly.

anadavid25 · Oct 22, 2013

Holy ##### is right! Great looking deer dude!
With that mass and overall depth on them tines I would say he definitely pushes that 200 mark.

Maxxy · Oct 22, 2013

I basically scroll through to the post where Yelum guesses the score and then agree with him.... My Dream buck... Congrats

BIGJOHNT · Oct 22, 2013

LAST EDITED ON Oct-22-13 AT 10:13PM (MST)[p]Can't really see his front forks or main beams, but he is in the 190's easy. A stud of a buck. Especially coming from a fifth picked general season buck. For a lot of people a buck of a lifetime !

HayZeus · Oct 23, 2013

Score doesn't mean much if you weren't after a score. You got a real monster of a buck. Congrats.

cmbbulldog · Oct 23, 2013

One of the best looking bucks I have seen posted all year. Tape it and tell us what he scores.

backinthegame · Oct 23, 2013

What an awesome buck...congrats sir!!

liecabucks · Oct 23, 2013

Crazy good fronts, excellent mass, good inside spread credit. My armchair #'s say 207-215

Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high, keep your eyes fixed to where the trail meets the sky...

SMELLYBUCK · Oct 23, 2013

Fantastic 1st post. Thanks and congrats.

SoutherBowhunter · Oct 23, 2013

YELUM · Oct 24, 2013

LAST EDITED ON Oct-24-13 AT 01:30PM (MST)[p]I think he's pretty dead on. 197 frame?
