Let's hear some opinions on how wide this buck is and what he may have scored? And, would you take this one? With a bow? Rifle?

Man I love this game, and this is a hard one. The deer is a great deer to kill no matter what he scores. Beautiful frame on a very mature deer. That being said I am happy to kill a deer like this with a rifle or any weapon I could do it with.

As for score it is very tough to say from the video. Width is one of the most difficult things to tell along with we don't know what kind of mass is under the fuzz. I am going to guess 23 on the width. I am going to guess he will score very close to 186 gross.

As usual thanks for sharing.
 
I'm guessing 23.5 to 24 outside spread. With a gross score of 167. Pretty buck.

Whether I'de take him or not depends where I am hunting, how far into the hunt I am, if I still have spots I haven't looked at and if I still have tags in other states where I may have a chance to fill a tag. Gonna say Ide pass on him early in the season, but might change my mind late in the season if I found him and still had the tag. If I had an elk or a deer already in the freezer, pass for sure.
 
He's got good g2 and g3s and better than average mass.However his g4s and beams are short and i'm not seeing much for g1s and probably a 21 or 22 inch inside spread. I score him at 170 ish. I have shot smaller Bucks but not in a long time. I will pass him on any premium hunt but a general season fun hunt he may be a taker.

Nice enough!! Archery tackle in most units yes !!! But I'm gonna disagree on the score it'll be more like mid 150-160
 
I would guess he goes 172" gross. Hard to guess how wide he is from the video but I would guess 24" give or take 2".
On an easy to draw tag, I might take him but it depends if I had an itchy trigger finger that day. If he was in an area that I didn't think anyone else would kill him, I would be more likely to pass on shooting him in hopes of finding him again in a year or two.
 
Neat buck. He has some decent mass. I would probably shoot that buck in most cases on an archery hunt. I would guess him to be about 23 wide and a bit better than 170.
 
This buck would be lucky to make 160". I think he's 155", he doesn't have the big look even in velvet! Nice buck though!
 
This isnt about the size of the buck, its about generating dollars. This site is dead, very few posts compared to 5 years ago. Heck, 6 of the threads started on the first page of the mule deer section is by founder. Years past he would make 6 posts a year...

So come on guys, reply, click on ads, fight with tristate. Lets get some money for founder!!!
 
They always look bigger in velvet. With that, I'd guess him to be about 21-22 inches wide and a score in the high 150s to low 160s.

I think some will be surprised when they walked up on him or maybe I would be surprised, BUT I think he bigger then a 165 score.
