I have never scored this buck

[cnelk]

If I remember correctly I shot this buck in 1979 or 1980 in N Minnesota.
Tracked it for a couple miles and finally shot it in a swamp with knee to thigh deep water in mid November.
That\'s after someone else had shot it in the leg and gave up on it.
Took me from 9am til 2pm

It was a memorable Sunday and it ended up being a quest of a kid with a Winchester 30-30 and a buck.

I have never posted a pic of this deer before and never put a tape on the rack.
Any guesses?

I will only measure it if at least 10 people are curious and take a guess.

145ish

Is that the only picture you have, Brad?

Can you post the mount?

 

[cnelk]

I never had it mounted.
Always been hanging out in the barn
Here is another pic

128\". Love that picture! No Merino wool! No light weight, 4-way stretch water proof, synthetic garments! A 30-30 and a love for hunting! I\'m glad I was there!

The Net score on that rack will be virtually the same as the gross!

 

[iccyman001]

119\"

I\'m going to say probably 127\". It\'s hard to tell cause there is nothing to gauge the size in the one pic. Looking at the pic when you killed him he looks to be decent size deer.

118

Good job following though on someone\'s bad hit Brad. :clap: :clap: :clap:

 

[Zpd307]

ooo, I was seeing a 10 pointer.... :crazy: scratch my first guess.

 

[mainebrdr]

Good job Gary! A few more guesses on your part and and Brad will have to score it. You\'re way ahead of me!

 

[david.denham.39]

I\'m going to say 115\"

So far 6 people are interested in the score.
Below is a pic that may help a newbie submit a score.
The ruler is 18 in long, tip to tip.

 

[iccyman001]

Just score him

 

[F M]

I\'ll say 122\".

I\'m not a \"scorer\" and when I try to be, I make a fool of myself ... but I\'m interested.

Scoring is most interesting when you hear people grossly exaggerate an animal. My usual response (to myself) is \"I don\'t think so.\"

I\'m not a whitetail scorer at all, but for the sake of everyone else I will take a guess at 128\"

OK...
Dan pestered me enough to take break from lawn work and score the buck

I had nothing to gain by \'stretching\' the tape, and it should be pretty close

Score 117
See below for measurements

 

[cnelk]

Good job and the guessimate Terry!!! you guesses 118\"

 

[iccyman001]

Sweet! I was within 2\"


Nice job, Terry :upthumb:



Awesome buck, Brad :dance2:
