Gone forever...
(Could regret it later... nice buck)
*Also depends on how many days I've hunted.

 

[elkassassin]

You'd Have To Trade Your Gun For Something You Could Turn The Scope Down Lower Than 18X To Even See That Buck In That Storm!

Let Alone Score Him!

I don't think he's 190 from what I saw

 

[Camper_A1]

Ok I’ll be the first, I’m shooting. I haven’t killed a 190” buck and he might not be one either. I think he’s 180+, frame looks boxy, forks look symmetrical and has some mass. I don’t think he’s especially tall but I like the look.

 

[Muleman1]

I’m shooting

 

[littlebighorn]

Yep,
Bang.
I'm sure the snow is hiding something.

I once passed on a buck in the snow and I still regret it.

 

[Buckfever34]

Buck looks mature. Not 190, but heavy/mature.

I feel like my answer is always “bang!”

 

[sjhgraysage]

Boom!

 

[Tristate]

That buck is interesting

 

[yoteduster]

Freezing my butt off in that snow storm yeah I'm shooting.. So I can go home lol

 

[easyelk13]

Good enough for me in most places!

 

[Igottabigone]

I'll bet that buck is 202.5"

 

[Vanilla]

Not sure what he scores, but if the best view in my scope is what that video shows, I’m not taking that shot. I don’t know what else is there. It’s not clear enough.

 

[257Tony]

Sent!

 

[littlebighorn]

How about 201.25

 

[Onthehoof]

That is a good buck! I would shoot him if I could see him well enough!

 

[elkfromabove]

Unethical and possible dangerous shot! You can't even see his vitals from the front, let alone see anything behind. I ain't risking it!

 

[Wiszard]

If a good shot is presented, I would def be shooting.

 

[elkfromabove]

25 seconds! What you see on the screen is all you get then he's gone!

 

[Gator]

BOOM BOOM BOOM

 

[elkfromabove]

BOOM BOOM BOOM

How come it took you 3 shots! Foggy scope? Buck fever? Wasn't sure where your shots were going? Wanted to make sure your bullets got through all that brush in front? Missed the first two?

 

[Wiszard]

25 seconds! What you see on the screen is all you get then he's gone!

How many yards is he? Inside of 200, no question...more than that may be a little iffy with that weather condition.

 

[Onthehoof]

25 seconds! What you see on the screen is all you get then he's gone!

I guess he would be gone then! I think it is a shooter.

 

[SureShot]

Isn't this your 200" buck from last year?

 

[BridgerMT]

He gets a walk from me today. 1st off its not a 190" and to me it looks like a bush or branches are partially In the way on vitals lower right cant be 100% sure so
I shoot him tomorrow

 

[elkassassin]

I Think SureShot Nailed It!

Isn't this your 200" buck from last year?

 

[BrianID]

I can't say he is 190"+ but I wouldn't hesitate to shoot him.

 

[pushin_30]

Definitely not 190. But I would still probably give him some lead poisoning

 

[SirHuntsalot]

Meat buck, meet my 300.

 

[fullthrottle]

Big head, big frame, boom! 180+ easy.

 

[Mallardsx2]

I think hes is bigger than anything I have killed. But I would say he is a long ways from being 190. lol

 

[flycrewsupe]

I’ll say 202.5. That’s a great buck.

 

[Focoelkman]

Looks like a righteous deer hunting day and I like head shots. I think through my scope with my skills it’s an easy track job

 

[Muleman1]

It’s hypothetical not real life settle down huh

 

[BrowningRage]

Since the rule says I'm looking for 190"... I'm passing. G4s won't get him to 190 I don't think...

 

[elkfromabove]

It’s hypothetical not real life settle down huh

I knew it was hypothetic, but I wanted to point out the risks this situation presented. If you are willing to take this risky shot based on the size of the antlers which you can't even determine, I'd advise you to retake the hunter safety course! You're not the only one who's hunting this deer. Additionally, he's now staring at you with his ears flared and any movement (or noise) you make won't be fast enough for a good shot.

 

[gundog2]

It does not look like a safe shot. Hard to be sure of your target. There could be other deer in front or behind this buck. Wait for snow to let off or find him another time or day.

 

[eyeman]

Never been good at math.
Boom!

 

[nontypical]

I would never find him in my scope.

 

[fstop]

Click boom. But is your wife going to be mad that I shot him in your living room?

You’re just being a better father to your children

 

[Shadow]

I’d lace one right through that brush. Dead buck.

 

[Cam@strawberry]

The buck just cracked 200”. 30.5” wide, I got 201.25” taxi got 202.5”.

My goal for the hunt was 180” or a mature deer that was big regardless of inches. It was a tall order for the unit, honestly I was pretty sure I’d eat the tag. When we killed this buck we had no idea he was giant. Lots of wow when I walked up to him on the ground.

I recognized that deer from your initial post so it was unfair of me to respond. That said, I wonder how many 200" deer get a pass because a hunter doesn't get a good look at them. I know I almost did on my best buck.
Great buck berry!

 

[Focoelkman]

Close enough fora drag out in the snow storm! NIce dude! Congrats on a stud!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Was he shot at the time and place and angle you show in the opening post?
