HE HAS JUST OVER 18" MAIN BEAMS AND A 14" INSIDE SPREAD. KEEPING IN MIND HE HAS NO EYE GUARDS, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK HE SCORES? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

25-06 Report post Posted December 24, 2006 Thats a great lookin buck...My guess on the score would be 105-110 My buddy Steve just got a buck that has the same fronts as your buck...Steves buck didn't have much of a spread and it scored 95 5/8 Congrats and I'll try to get someone like tucrats to post a pic of his deer.

az4life Report post Posted December 24, 2006 What an awesome buck! I'd guess 110 + or - a few inches. Really great character on that rack! Congratulations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEERSLAM Report post Posted December 24, 2006 He should make the Boone & Crockett Awards book no problem. Probably would've made the all time book with eyeguards. Nonetheless a heck of a buck in anyones book! Congrats PRED8R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRONG Report post Posted December 24, 2006 No eyeguards!?!?!?! What the crap?!?! That's pretty rare for a deer of that class to not have them. He looks almost naked w/o them. Great deer, I'm gonna guess 114" gross, he may even net book too. Let us know what he scores when you find out. Congratulations!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cramerhunts Report post Posted December 24, 2006 Awesome buck! Congrats. I am going to guess that he will gross 115. Bummer on the lack of eye guards but I know how that goes since I shot a buck with only 1" on one side and none on the other this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRED8R Report post Posted December 24, 2006 WELL THE LAST TWO GUESSES WERE RIGHT ON THE MONEY, I MEASURED HIM @116 GROSS AND 112 1/8 NET. BY FAR THE SMARTEST DEER I HAVE EVER HUNTED, WHEN I FINALLY GOT HIM I JUMPED HIM OUT OF ONE OF HIS BEDS @ 20 YARDS AND WE PLAYED CAT AND MOUSE AROUND A ROCK OUTCROPING FOR AN HOUR. THIS DEER HAD OBVIOUSLY BEEN SHOT @ MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS AND WAS VERY HESITANT TO BLAST OUT OF COVER AND RISK BEING SEEN. CURIOUS AS TO HOW OLD HE GETS AGED @ TOO. CANT WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN.
