need2hunt Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I beleive this is the buck i was after last year, if it's not him it's his smaller brother ... got him on one of my trailcams going by one of my stands at 8:32 am sometime this last week... it's a shame I wasn't there but the whole reason I got the trailcams was just for the reason of MAYBE getting a good pic of him... I AM SO EXCITED!!!! They know me at the one hour photo and he told me that I had a real good one... I almost fell over when I saw him... You can't see the other side very well bet what i can make out of it it looks like it matches up really good... a beautiful typical 12 point, this is basically my dream deer and the one I'll be hunting for over this next week or so... wish me luck... Also for kicks and giggles anyone want to throw out a score for him? My 16 pointer had a 19.25 inside spread and 5 inch circumfrences on his typical side with his main beam being 23 inches... you can tell this guy is the same bloodlines so that info might help... this guy beats my 16 point in tine length quite a bit though. Hey Tominator and Ohiobucks... think you can come give me some help?? Also make sure Shaun sees this pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiobucks Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Finally caught my dream buck!!! PIC Oh yeah, 70-75 points per side, 20" spread = 170 or so. That may be short changing this buck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bama Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Finally caught my dream buck!!! PIC great buck! I am going to be a little more conservative with the score though, I believe it will gross out in the low 160's or mid to high 150's. Definitley net in the 150's. GREAT BUCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoyt19 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Finally caught my dream buck!!! PIC Id say from what I can see that gut would score in the 140's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LDB Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Finally caught my dream buck!!! PIC Good luck hunting him. Assuming he has decent browtines, he looks like he would gross in the 160-165 range to me. He might be higher if I am underestimating the main beam length, or if the G3 and G4 look shorter because they actually curl in with the main beam.

Tominator Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Finally caught my dream buck!!! PIC wow very nice i told shawn, and he let that one word fly about 20 times in one sentence. i'd repeat it, but you know this is a family site. score? i don't know. his main beams don't look that long. they look to come down to the midline of his snout. nice tine length and good mass though.

Guest Broncho10 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: Finally caught my dream buck!!! PIC [ QUOTE ] great buck! I am going to be a little more conservative with the score though, I believe it will gross out in the low 160's or mid to high 150's. Definitley net in the 150's. GREAT BUCK [/ QUOTE ] Not so sure about that. Think about it, On the right side: G1, can't see, guess 4" G2, atleast 12" G3, atleast 11" G4, 5" G5, 2.5" Main beam atleast 26" H1,2,3,& 4, 13" (underexagerated) Minimum spread 18" That gives him 73.5 " on each side plus 18" spread, that puts him at grossing 165, and I think I didn't give him credit on some of the measurements. Just my $.02, this could be way off. Great deer and I hope you get him. No matter what he scores, he is a true trophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling is in Whiteside county, the property this buck was photographed on is in Carroll county where I hunt... I'm a ways North of where you'll be but I was down in Greene county last week and saw some bruisers down there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
