170-180 Class Buck Pictures

[IDkTm]

My cousin and I both drew a pretty good unit in north central Idaho for this fall. We've been out doing lots of scouting and are seeing some really nice deer. I've basically decided my minimum for a shooter is either 170 or lots of character. I'd like to help him get a really good buck as well. Some of the deer we've been seeing I'm sure would meet the 170 mark; but I also don't want to have a bad case of ground shrinkage. Could some of you guys put up some pictures of some bucks known to be in the 170-180 class just for comparison sake? Seeing them on a deer is a bit different that measuring just a set of antler in your hands. Thanks MM guys.

Here you go, 183" and change gross, drop the eye guards and your looking at a mid 170's buck.

When in doubt, floor it.
