Nice CO Buck

FamousAddiction · Oct 21, 2009

Here is a buck I took on the evening of Oct. 19. I passed many decent 4x4 and 5x5 before I decided to take this one at 332 yds with my .300 WSM. I haven't put a tape on him yet, just curious to what you guys think he scores. With his deep forks, I couldn't pass him up.

FamousAddiction thats a good buck. Hard to pass on those. He looks to be around 27 inch mark. I would guess hes in the 150. Congrats.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-21-09 AT 12:29PM (MST)[p]173 3/8" on the dot ;-) jk but somewhere in that neighborhood...great shot and congrats on getting him, he's a nice one!! Let us know if you tape him...

I'd put him in the upper 160's but I think those beams are a little longer than they appear at first glance...

I was going to say 173 but never_catch beat me to it.

I'll guess 174 1/8

I'd put him in the upper 160s gross, probably 160-165 net. Dang nice buck, and a heck of a shot!

Hard to pass up bucks like that....Congratulations.

Is that ethical?

FamousAddiction · Oct 21, 2009

I taped him out.
Gross 182 1/8
Net 180 2/8

Main Beams Left 24 1/8 Right 24 2/8
Inside Spread 22 3/8

I know he'll shrink taking him out of the books, but still an awesome trophy. Not one who cares about score to much, I'd shoot him again knowing the score before hand. I'll never be able to pass up a buck like this!!! I'm a sucker for deep forks. Thanks for all the nice comments. This is my second buck in 3 yrs (didn't draw last year) that will end up high 170's net. I'll get him scored in 60 days just in case, but am pretty sure he will miss the magic mark of 180. Thanks again for all the nice remarks.

Nice buck!! Where did you get him? I would take a 180 buck in most units.

173 +/-

Archery is a year round commitment!!

excellent buck--those deep forks can be deceiving for sure, but that's where the score is! Deep fronts always score well! It's great to see a buck right at 180" before i head into the hills.
thanks!
