So, I have never really been interested in scoring deer, probably mostly because I have never hunted one worth scoring... but this weekend I put a stalk on a deer that I think is a real giant for a general over-the-counter archery deer tag. I got within about 60 yards of this deer (I couldnt see him nor him me) when he and his buddies up and decided to get out of their beds and mozied away browsing into a thicket. My spotter said they had no idea that I was there... they just got up and browsed away. I was quite bummed. Nothing I could do!
So how big do you think this deer is? Any judgments on score and width? Here is a good isometric view of him:
Here is a good picture showing the deer from behind:
Also, here is a picture of a buck that I passed on opening afternoon... It would have been an easy shot even for a novice stick flipper.... I thought he was interesting because of how tall he is compared to the rest of his antler development. This is a young deer and he is already sprouting good looking eye guards!
