Nice looking "yard" buck! ....now where's my 25 cal air gun? haha

My guess (and that's all any of them are) is 179" frame and add in the extras for rough gross score.

180 frame and about 15 inches of extra's my guess. Looks like an older fighting buck looking at his face and head.

200-205 He's big enough lol

Hold the bucket of apples while your buddy puts a tape on him.

ridgetops · Dec 9, 2019

I'd say around 205-210"

huntingisfun · Dec 9, 2019

Vanilla · Dec 9, 2019

He?s pushing 210.

elkassassin · Dec 9, 2019

He's a 220" MM'ER!

188 gross. No way is this buck over 200.

Shadow · Dec 10, 2019

He looks to be a little past the magic mark.

nripepi · Dec 10, 2019

Deerlove · Dec 10, 2019

I would think 190s

crownroyal · Dec 10, 2019

199-202 would be my guess..

Vanilla · Dec 10, 2019

I'm guessing the frame on this deer is approximately 185 inches. He's also got 6 "extra" points to score at various lengths. He's over 200 easily, just not sure how much over.

He's a stud. Hope he doesn't get hit by a car, if he already hasn't been.

deadibob · Dec 10, 2019

I would guess him pushing close to 210".

Tristate · Dec 10, 2019

Looks like a mid to high 190's buck to me. I always have trouble with the non-typical ones. His typical frame looks like he just barely crosses the 180 line.

appleman · Dec 10, 2019

he is a wonderful buck to me he appears to hit two hundo with all those xtras nice buck

yoteduster · Dec 10, 2019

200-205

chipc · Dec 10, 2019

178 = 16 inches NT = 194

nripepi · Dec 10, 2019

I agree with Chip! I don't think his frame breaks 180. I had him exactly the same with 16" of extras. His main beams are a bit weak and his fronts are not all that...I would love to shoot him though!!

Butts · Dec 10, 2019

206-208

muleyslayerwa · Dec 10, 2019

191 gross

cmbbulldog · Dec 10, 2019

Mid 190?s buck. 180ish main frame and ~15 inches of extras.

BrianID · Dec 11, 2019

I think he will be really close to 200" gross.

money · Dec 11, 2019

I think he's 210" give or take. If I had to bet whether he is under or over 200 inches I would take the over all day long. Not sure by how much, but he would make it. I think a few of the scores guessed are way too low for a deer like that though.

Buffs35 · Dec 11, 2019

185 with 10 to 12 inches of trash. Great buck.

YBO · Dec 11, 2019

184 frame and 23"s trash.
207 gross

SDBugler · Dec 11, 2019

I'm guessing 182" frame and 15" of character = 197"
Definitely a great buck though!!!!

The_Coloradoboy · Dec 11, 2019

>I'm guessing 182" frame and 15"

Exactly where I'd him too. 180 to 183 inch main frame typical with 12 to 15 inches of fun. Grosses in the high 90s conservatively.

Just out of curiosity, what do you think his inside spread is? how about his outside spread?

His inside spread is outside his ears... so that is 21" plus

Outside he is for sure over 30" just hard to say how wide he is.

He's no small deer and he is 100% over 200"

Hard to tell how big he is, but if he doesn't break 200 then Obama was a good president and Rosie O'donnell isn't fat.

buckhorn · Dec 11, 2019

200 exactly
184 inch main frame
16 inches of extras

I sure would not want to be accused of saying Obama was a good president.

It's really nice to see bucks like that on the hoof. Even if he is in town on somebody?s lawn.

Big_R · Dec 11, 2019

I think that's a beautiful buck but would be shocked if it went over 175 on the frame. He has no eye guards, not over 36 inches of mass, and a little weak on his main beams. I think he's a 190 buck including extras.

I think that's about nuts on.

bugleb · Dec 11, 2019

He is plenty big enough to shoot if you could just find him somewhere 5 miles from the nearest road.

125nontypicalforky · Dec 11, 2019

Yep 210 gross. Sometimes I think people are afraid to over estimate so they go way low!

zekers · Dec 11, 2019

What does his outside have to do with it? With 22" mainbeams and 22" inside spread, he better have a pile of extras to compensate.
I'm in the mid 190's crowd just because of his extras.

money · Dec 12, 2019

outside spread doesn't matter I am just curious what people think as far as how wide he is.

His beams are longer than 22" though. average bucks have 22" beams. but a deer with a 22" inside spread and beams that wrap that far out and then back in definitely has pretty good beams. it just takes more horn to stretch out that far and then back in. if one were to guess the beams too short by a couple inches per side that would throw the whole scoring process off from the beginning.

the score doesn't matter in the end. I would kill him 1000 times out of 1000 without hesitation. I am one that tries to be very conservative when scoring animals and I have a hard time throwing out the 200" mark most of the time. But my gut reaction on this buck was that he definitely would make the magic 200" mark. I could be wrong though. wouldn't be the first time today that i was wrong.

ridgetops · Dec 12, 2019

I'd shoot this buck every time over the 191" buck I killed this year. I think he has a better "WOW" factor to him.
