Good collection of growth pics, solid deer.

I’d say mid sixties

4 year old? Do you recall him from past years ?

Hadn't hunted or ran cameras on this property for a few years so I don't really have much history with him. I have a hard time guessing my own deer I usually guess them low trying to b conservative I guess. I didn't think he'd go 170s with short brows and 4ths but he does have fairly long beams. I'm saying that I'm holding out for the big one or nothing this year so this one will get a pass from me if I can stay strong. Doubt the boys will pass him if he gives them a chance.

He is definitely a shooter but of course we should all wait for Jbyrd to score him! grin

Beams are a solid 22-23” or better based off one of your pics. So you looking close to 45-48” just in beams. I’ll give him 18” on spread. He held his mass well after the velvet so you’re looking at 36-40” there. So 103-111” without tines. Say 50-55” in tine length. So very conservatively…153-166”
And that’s being very conservative…I’d go more with mid 160’s or even a tad better. Something like that walks by me and I’m sending an arrow and give you a dead on measurement, lol.
Great looking buck and thanks for sharing!

And the fact that his body is probably well over 200 lbs LW......I'd say 160s is conservative. He will likely make B&C.

LMBO @ Beat him to it WB.
SW the deer in Kansas grow big bodies so I think by the time a rack looks big on them it should score well. I'm not guru but I'd say he is a mid 160s.

Yessir are you or one of the boys gonna get him this yr? If so we could start a pool! Put me in at 165.

Re: Antler growth - 10/02/22 11:00 PM

Bet he scores better than this one.[Linked Image]

Re: Antler growth - 10/02/22 11:19 PM

CC I like cool and unique racks. I like that deer.

Lefty
I'm going to try and hold out for the giant I posted earlier. Guessing north of 200. Haven't seen him since July but I feel obligated to dedicate at least one season to him or else I'll always wonder what if. The really bad thing is we have some local poachers that I believe know about him and are already hitting the area at night when cold fronts come through. So I have two things I'm hunting this year..... Boys say they want to hold out for big one too but they say they probably can't pass this one up if he comes by so I'm sure they are going to shoot him if they get a chance. We get regular pics of him and some during day light so he's pretty hunt able. We have a couple others that are pretty big that will tempt them also. We will see

Re: Antler growth - 10/03/22 02:50 AM

I passed this one this morning…may not again if I see him, lol. May not look big in the pics, but he was a solid 150ish and with a bow I’ll take him. I was waiting on another buck that didn’t show. Oh yeah, look under the 07 of the first pic in the second pic and you can see me, or partially me, lol.

Re: Antler growth - 10/11/22 01:42 AM

This is the one buck I really wanna arrow this year.
Not a great rack but an old/smart buck.
This is last year's pic.
He's a bit smaller (rack wise) this year.

Really big bodied buck I've seen for a couple years. He'd tempt me just because he's a beast [Linked Image]
[Linked Image]
Really nice buck we've been watching for a year now. But he's really young [Linked Image]
My all or nothing buck for this year (or least try my best to try and hold out for him
We have some other noteworthy bucks we're watch also.

Re: Antler growth - 10/11/22 01:58 AM

Only issue with droptines down here is they normally break them off shortly after losing velvet. We had one that wasn’t quite a shooter but had split G2’s and a nice drop tine.

Re: Antler growth - 10/11/22 02:00 AM

I do seriously miss not going out to hunt muleys this year though..... usually just let the boys hunt the whitetails

Yeah that buck had lost half his rack by February. Was still fighting end of January and broke the last 2 points on his right side off.

Re: Antler growth - 10/11/22 02:08 AM

The buck I’m after is a loner. He will not come in if other bucks are nearby. Grunting and rattling sends him the opposite direction. That’s probably how he keeps his rack intact until he sheds, lol.

Nice buck! And congrats to your neighbor as well. Every year when we let bucks go all we hope is the neighbors met them grow like we have. When they get to that age or growth potential it’s a free for all and we understand that.
Curious is your neighbor scored him?

Re: Antler growth - 12/03/22 07:29 PM

No score yet. I put a request for it when he gets one

Yea those rough scores fall off quite a bit . Marking the proper spot to measure the tine lengths make a big difference on that many
Straight edge on top of main beam then draw the line is different than just eye balling the end of tape measure
But a true giant all day long ! Lack of brow tunes will hurt him He will final net if it’s official scored 158-161

Re: Antler growth - 12/05/22 07:15 PM

Yeah 8 measurements of by an 1/8 inch one way or the other really add up

Re: Antler growth - 12/05/22 07:19 PM

Mass measure is hard to guess from a pic also . He may be in 170’s all day long just my guess
Posted By: Yes sir

Re: Antler growth - 12/05/22 07:36 PM

I was guessing him 160 to 165 myself on the neighbors 10... thought his brows and G1s were to short to be 170s
