Just a great hunt, lots of buck in Northern Nevada near Idaho. Wasn't really looking for a straight typical but this one was just too good to pass on versus other bucks I had seen.

Really fun after earning 12 bonus points.

What's your guess on score?

176. Nice buck!

What are you doing to that deer if PETA sees that pic they are going to be all over you J/k .I took a kid out hunting and he got his first buck this fall when we walked over to it he asked me how we were going to get it out of there, I told him he was going to find out what its like to hump a buck up a hill.I have heard old timers use that term before for packing things well he thought I ment the other,some kind of first buck tradition or something,I wish i could of got a pic of his face. I cant wait to show him your pic and tell him thats your first buck.
 
Cool it is my first deer! Couldn't wait to get close and PETA is a wonderful group!

For your first deer it is AWESOME!

Shamefully, I have 9 deer to my name and none like that one. Congrats!

AspenAdventures,

I was just joking. I have many bucks and a few better than this one. I was just going along with the joke about PETA on the thread. Enjoy what you have though and one of these days a bigger one will come along when you least expect it.

Thanks Sage. Actually the buck was measured about 3 times. The gross score is in the 189-190 range. Net is likely about 183-184. For a 26" buck it just scores really well. The mass is a little deceiving and even better than it looks. The main beams are a little weak and the one on the left is even weaker but I really like this buck and it's one of my better typicals.

Here's another picture. Sorry it took awhile. The pictures are a little weak as you can see we ran out of light pretty quickly but we did the best we could.

Thanks Longshooter it was a heck of a fun hunt. Wished I could go again next year!
