GIANT idaho unit 45 deer

I did my best without knowing how to officially score and not trying to give any extra length. 175 2/8
I have a 182 official scored buck that is very close in size so this makes sense

They don’t get much prettier than that. He’s a fine buck. It does suck to hear how far down that place has fallen.

Did you get pictures of your target buck?

this would be the age class of a buck born in the snowmageddon range.

So you think it’s due to the 2016 winter? I personally was finding tremendous bucks 2017 18 and 19 in south idaho. The last two years have been most difficult

Yes but I am going to keep them to myself, hopefully I draw archery next year

Thanks for the post. Good stuff! Handsome buck. Really some good educational info given. Your couple pics with his ears laid fairly flat looks like 24" outside compared to his frame width. I've measured some bucks laying their ears flat like that and sometimes 22", sometimes 23, sometimes 24.

You hit it on the head on that one. If I really stretched out the tape and angled it across a bit I’d get 24.5 for width

you do know that THAT width number doesn't go in the score....right?

Good job guys. Love the season long feedback. Respect your efforts.

Score wise, w inside spread ~20” and no eye guards, 190” would be tough, but nice forks and amazing symmetry

PS. F&G isn’t to blame, Mother Nature is.

so when Mother nature acts who didnt react???

Don't shoot the pivots.

That’s exactly why we said outside width, you know that right?
