CouesWhitetail Report post Posted January 17, 2006 Hi Guys, I was out this morning doing some deer surveys with the game warden when she spotted a spike. And then after we looked a little we saw a doe and fawn and a big buck. It's a very large 2 pt plus eyeguards. He started out about 480 yards upslope and then they all came down to get some water and the buck got to probably less than 200 yards across the canyon from me. Pretty darn cool! Got some nice pics. Tell me what you think he will score. 90 inch gross? He has some great mass on his bases. The little spike was chasing the fawn around quite a bit. The big buck was just casually staying with the doe. Wish I had seen this buck during my hunt!!! Here is a habitat pic. A deer is visible just left of center. Here are some pics of the doe and fawn. And here are some of the buck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SunDevil Report post Posted January 17, 2006 Nice pics Amanda! I really like the 5th and 6th pics. I would say 88" or so. Getting a 2X2 to break 90" is really tough. It looks like you might get an extra inch off from that left G2. Just not enough measurements. Thanks for sharing. CB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cramerhunts Report post Posted January 17, 2006 Beautiful pictures! I think he would be very close to the 90" mark but probably just a bit under 85-90". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

singleshot Report post Posted January 18, 2006 Beautiful mature buck. If he's a two point this year, after the spring we had in 2005 thats probably as good as he is ever going to be. Love that mass. Maybe somebody else can shed some light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creed_az_88 Report post Posted January 18, 2006 I shot a 3*3 in november but it had small crab claws so they didn't ad any to the score but his frame was very close to that but not as wide. he scored 86 so ill say this buck will go 89. creed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
