LAST EDITED ON Sep-09-15 AT 08:52PM (MST)[p]most of my field judging on big deer i have been on is very fast. when i judge off a photo or video i try to resemble what i would do in the field. after ten seconds of looking at the first vid i put the deer in the 185ish range. I have scored...

after the first few pics I would have said 195+, then I saw the t cam pic and went that's a 200" typical. I still under judged him. score wouldn't have mattered as I would have had a quick judge and pulled the pin! awesome buck and congrats!

on first glance pretty sure both will get a pass. both appear to be nice bucks with similar antlers. but I don't think I would be pulling the trigger on either. that might change if I saw a few different angles though.

score doesn't meant $*!)! with those! awesome find! congrats!

that goat picture looks like a painting. unbelievable. I am fortunate enough to live in this beautiful province and am glad you got to have a taste of it. congrats on what looks to be an awesome hunt.

those are some fantastic deer!! that first one is something I have only seen in my dreams!!! I discuss score only to get a perspective. some guys say a 150 buck is a monster and others have much higher standards. when you throw out a score there is no guessing. also pics are very deceiving...

looks like a high 180's buck. might break 190, beautiful pics.

I have recently been using nosler accubonds. I really like them, shot a couple elk with them now and works well. I am using a 7mm, with 160 gr bullets. I would say 180's out of a 300 would be money!

its nice to see guesses that are bigger than the actual score. MM is normaly the opposite. that is a beautiful typical mulie. congrats on a great deer. I was going to guess in the low 180's.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-18-14 AT 08:31PM (MST)[p]the young bucks are with the does now, in the next couple weeks I will start to see a lot of "roaming" bucks. and then the big boys will show up with the does around the 5-7th of November. the best time to hunt for a full rut mulie where I am, I...

I have a custom rifle. my dad used the rifle for probably 30 years and the last few years the stock cracked when I took a fall, and the barrel was shot out. so I bought a new McMillan stock and put a match grade barrel on it. it is on a browning bbr action, and it is a very nice feeling...

hahaha love your style, its right on point. great bull, hope I can lay the hammer down on a "305" bull one day!!!!

>Easy decision for me. The >375" bull. yup easy decision, I like big clean typicals!

prime example of how easy it is to misjudge an animal from a picture! beauty buck!!!

your good to go with that bullet/rifle combo. my dad hunted a lot of his younger years in bc with a 243 and killed quite a few moose with it. he used 85 grain speers, and put them right behind the shoulder. the lungs on the moose would be mush. although this is not a rifle I would use with...

just last year I was faced with a deer walking away. I glassed him from about 1000 yards and thought he was a monster! walking away. I did not spend much time behind the spotter, just enough to know he was big and I needed to get closer. I ran down the hill and came up on him at about 300...

when I first saw him I put him in the 350's, then after I watched a bit he dropped to 340. and after a final look at his short, brows, bez, and trez I put him at 330. still an impressive looking bull.

that buck would be a tough call. I don't see his numbers going much over 200, and on a NT that is by no means a monster. he is still very cool, and there would be no shame in taking a deer like that. I see why BC BOY would pass, as I would probably do the same. I want a giant and that deer...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-13-14 AT 03:05PM (MST)[p]I have used 10x and 8x binos, and for me 10x is what I use. I hunt from 30 yards of vis to multiple km of vis. i would sacrifice ease of viewing up close to be able to judge a deer better at longer ranges. yes if there is a possible shooter the...

I've heard does call but never a buck. I have had a buck beat up a pine tree after I had been rubbing a tree and rattling. don't think I've ever heard a buck grunt or make any noises yet.

i would pass and let that old guy live out his days. just watch and hopefully get some pics.

awesome finds, your on fire with some big sheds!! awesome finding an area to yourself, keep that one quite!!

nice deer! the pics don't do it justice. just wondering why you think it will turn into a non typical?

pic didn't work for me,

LAST EDITED ON Mar-23-14 AT 06:25PM (MST)[p]very cool buck, from what I see somewhere in the 175-180 mark. but then I get a feeling I might be slightly low.

man what a monster! how would you even score the clubs?

it is a rough gross score for the most part I would imagine. and by rough I mean not official. I see more lowballing of other guys antlers than exaggerated scores. its amazing how many assumptions can be made from a picture. plus most pictures are deceiving, either makes the small animal...

check out mystery ranch camera case, I just got a pack and it has the camera holder. don't know how I did it before this. I find I take way more pictures now that it is easy to access on my waistbelt.

this did happen to mine but not after moderate use. it was hard use for probably five months.

Captain_coues, if you look closely you can see it is just the ear looking like a different brow tine.

great idea for a thread, looking forward to seeing some results.

pass, a big deer with huge potential.

> > >235 Net >Not holding my breath on topping >it. OMG! that is about as perfect as you can get!! mabey you could tie, but good luck topping it!!

6 and 6 for me. the #6 field photo is what elk hunting is all about, for me. just love that pic!!

i see a lot of bad habbits on tv of guys walking up on downed game. like said earlier it will only take once and you'll do things right!!

LAST EDITED ON Jan-22-14 AT 10:00PM (MST)[p]I have a mystery ranch 7500 with the nice frame. this pack is a large pack that holds heavy loads very well. also boots are up to you, I have burnt through a pair of kenetrek mountain extremes and am now on miendl Canada pros. I like a high top boot...

fair enough, I tried to go back and edit my post slandering the name but it said after 300 minutes its not able to. I apologize for being brash with some comments, now I actually am done. cheers.

now your comparing the way you hunt to how I do? how is it that just because you haven't ripped any sikta pants, that you think I haven't? or do you think I'm lying about the seams coming apart and multiple tears where they have caught on branches etc? maybe you should read your own post about...
