Unit 23 potential? aprox score? pics

huntfish714 · Jan 22, 2012

day 2 or 3? of my 3 day archery opener hunt 2011. only had a 3 day hunt this year and settled for a little 4X4 on opening day. opening morning i chased around a buck that was this same size, and one that was significantly larger than this one, and a few little bit smaller than this one. I had this guy at 85yards. I always see some nice bucks each year but always settle for smaller, I also always hear of 5x, 6x, and even 7x7s getting taken out of this unit every year but i never see any posts other than mine and a couple others mainly talking bout elk in 23. General any weapon sounds like a zoo but early archery seems to be pretty peaceful and nice and in my opinion money well spent even if you dont tag a monster. sorry no trail camera pics this year as i didnt have time to use them. any approximate scores for this guy out of curiosity? couldnt get the other half of his rack but left his vitals open the entire time.

Based on the one side, I guess 160-165" with room to grow as he looks like a young buck. Great buck for unit 23.
