LAST EDITED ON Dec-29-04 AT 06:32AM (MST)[p]I killed this buck in the third season in Colorado. Would appreciate some scoring estimates. It is 25 1/2 wide and 22 tall. It is a 7x7. Thanks, Ky
That buck is atleast 180 and I'd bet a paycheck on it.
Conservatively estimating tine length at 2, 16 1/2, 11 and 11 with mass of 17, beams of 22, inside spread 19 =..........178. Plus a few inches of extras in the cheaters.
Those are some nice deep tines and those backs fork pretty low. Almost pistol gip low. Very pretty buck that would have made a very nice looking shoulder mount.
Of course thats just my opinion. I could be wrong.
You guys were real close on your guestimates. It scored 187 1/8. Thanks to everyone for the taking the time to look and post a score. Happy New Year and may all your tags come true. Ky
Castle, Great Buck! Congrats to all you guys that guess this buck at over 180", I thought he would be close, but not over. The picture must have thrown me off, I think we're all used to seeing guys stretch their arms out of socket posing for the camera to try to make the buck look bigger, but not castle! Good job on a hell of a buck!
