layin on the smackdown Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 heres a pic of the short G3 buck i got on a trail cam in september...i was fairly sure he was 4.5 and put him on the hit list. heres his pic heres my encounter...at 3 yards from the base of my tree....with him missing half of his left side...i had to let him walk...granted hes not the greatest 8 pointer, but im pretty sure he hits the age limit and wouldve ran the tape in the low to mid 130's had he been all there. fyi im 28 feet up in a tree so things may look smaller than they appear... thoughts? dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to zoom out last time i used the camera, so i started on point blank...makes it hard to find anything in the view finder at point blank. darn rookies dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Looks like he ran into some trouble. Next year he'll be the one busting racks. Nice video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSeb53 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Good pass. He'll be a bruit next year. Cool encounter though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Honest thoughts, you are where there are big bucks, so passing was probably a real good call. Dunno that that buck would go mid 130's if he was still intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 yea i'd say he's on a lower side toward 130" even. definitely have the potential for something bigger where you are. good choice i think too. thanks for sharing the video despite the head shake. it's was fun to watch.

Dunno that that buck would go mid 130's if he was still intact. I'm with William. Most, but not all deer in my neck of the woods just about stall out at that range. You can get pics of them year after year at that age and they don't add inches much. Definitely a good deer to pass though for your area, don't know he'd be so lucky under my stand.
