180"???? Really??

travishunter3006 · Jan 25, 2013

I'm not a scoring expert but 180???? I don't know about that!

Cornhusker · Jan 25, 2013

None of the guys claimed he was a 180 deer somebody just labeled it as that on the video. The guys on the video called it a good management deer its a nice 25"wide 3 point probably score 155 to 160.

Man what a wilderness hunt I wonder how far down the hill they'll have to drag him to get to the road.

YELUM · Jan 25, 2013

I'll bet its close. If it had a couple big G3's it would go high 190's. IMO

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

Nice Buck

desertbonehunter · Jan 25, 2013

I would put that buck real close to 180. And I am a scoring expert, as I won the scoring contest put on by monarchtaxidermy LOL. Speaking of which, anyone know if he is putting it on again this yr?

DBLung · Jan 25, 2013

Looks Pretty close to 180" to me. Definitely solid 170" IMHO

elkun · Jan 25, 2013

how about 3x4. 180 i dont see it,,,not very good shooting,,,,

Cornhusker · Jan 25, 2013

I guarantee Yellum has seen more big Mulieys than I will in my lifetime so I will yield to what I believe is a greater knowledge. I must have got lucky in the scoring contest I ended up in the top 10. I still can't get him over 160. I will agree the first shot was bad. A good deer no matter what he scores.

not anymore cause some people had to complain about a deer that some kid shot. they said it was to small to mount so thanks to the a-holes no more contest or great mounts to look at...

TOPGUN · Jan 25, 2013

The second shot wasn't much better as it hit the spine way back at midsection! I didn't figure what is very close to a 3x3 could score as well as you guys say he does, but I'd have shot him where I hunt whether somebody says he'sa management deer or not!

desertbonehunter · Jan 25, 2013

thats too bad, I was looking forward to it.

fly4fish · Jan 25, 2013

Maybe it is just me, but I thought the first shot looked pretty good, or at least better than it apparently was. I was surprised to see him getting around as well as he did.

As for the second shot: Way to get him down! Over 250 yards on the move, you gotta be glad to drop him with any shot, especially with a bullet in him already.

I would agree that he is not a 180 buck, but I like him and would say he would be the biggest buck many hunters have ever seen.

NvrEnuf · Jan 26, 2013

I'm going with Yelum on this one as well. I think he's pushin the 180 mark. I dare bet when Yelum saw this buck he thought of a very similar buck we both have sheds from. The buck was usually a 3x3 but one year he was a 3x4 and I believe he went in the 180 range even with just a little G3 like this buck has. I really like the way those BIG fronts look on a buck even if he is missing the 3's.

tchoate3 · Jan 26, 2013

LAST EDITED ON Jan-26-13 AT 10:23AM (MST)[p]I think it could be close to 170 gross. I freind of mine shot a 3x3 that looks "a lot" like that buck that was 175 net. The buck he shot had much more mass than the one in the video.

swbuckmaster · Jan 26, 2013

no hes not 180

who farted?

1911 · Jan 26, 2013

That announcer sure made that film a white knuckle experience.

cabinfever · Jan 26, 2013

Assume the buck has 26' MB and 12' G4's and lets even give him 20' mass per side, which I think he's a little shy of. To get to 180, this buck would have to have 20 inch G2's. Heck of a pretty buck, but probably 10 inches shy of 180. It also don't help that he doesn't have G1's. This buck is a great example of why you should throw score out the window, and be happy to harvest a great buck.

Hawkeye · Jan 26, 2013

That is a beautiful buck that I would guess right around 170". I love the mass even if he is only a 3x4. Congrats to the hunter.

I agree. Nice second shot anchoring the deer.

+1, Great buck regardless, congrats to the hunter.

travishunter3006 · Jan 30, 2013

I should have pointed out that I wasn't trying to bag on the guys great buck...just on what the score allegedly was.

I'd still shoot him!

Ryry · Jan 30, 2013

I have a buck that's a twin too that but mine is a 3x3. 28 inches wide w 22 inch main beams. Mine has 2 inch eye guards. I never have had him scored and don't really care. Mine was a oregon private property buck. It looks good on the wall.congrats to the shooter.
