TreeWalker Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'm never one to be very good at judging bucks in velvet, so I'm curious as to what your thoughts are on this buck. He's got great G3s, and good G2s and 4s, but his brows suck, and he is narrow, but his main beams nearly touch................I'm gonna include pics from many angles, and see what you can come up with. He's the best buck to show up so far, and even though i know there are bigger bucks in the area, I haven't seen them yet..........so for now I'm gonna focus on this deer a bit........

Sask-Hunter Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Im thinking around 130-135 area, but im not to great at scoring in velvet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Im thinking around 130-135 area, but im not to great at scoring in velvet Agree. Inside spread, brows, and deduction on the G-4 hurt him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 No Nets....nets are for fish, LOL......wanna here Gross scores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask-Hunter Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Your right, im all about the gross scores too Still i dont think he will push 140+ Nice buck though, good character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slughunter Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I would say around the high 130's-low 140's. Hes a great looking buck no matter what he scores. -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 That's actually what I've been thinking.....135-140ish......hardest thing to judge on him is the mass.......I figure his G1s are 4", G2s are 9", G3s are 11", G4s are 4" (average between them) and his mains are 20" range, and a 16" inside spread.......throw in 30" of mass and I come up with 142" gross Sure some of those numbers are gonna be a little different, but I like to keep things simple, and it's normally not far off............I've just never been one of those guys that like a narrow rack, and if this buck was another 2-3 inches wider, he would be a "look no further" kinda buck.........No doubt he would make a great bowkill, but I would of course like to hold out for something a little wider and a little bigger, LOL........it's kinda hard not to after last year Keep the opinions and scores a coming................

Sask-Hunter Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 135-140 is still a decent buck and would be a nice bowkill for anyone;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest COACH J. Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bowhuntr_15 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Very nice looking buck.....no matter what he scores I would def. be shootin him! But I would have to guess about the same as yall, 135 140ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I would score him as a 10 :p:p:D:D:D Nice buck I would say he is in the upper 130s. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 No matter what he scores, he's a great looking buck. I like that little drop tine on his left side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask-Hunter Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 next year man thats gonna be one buck, but if you get a shot this year he will be tempting, decisions decisions:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I'm gonna try and pass on him....it's just to bad that the nieghboring properties get absolutely hammered during rifle season..........this buck (and others) don't stand much of a chance of ever seeing their potential.......and this buck has a ton of it..........sadly, he probably won't live to see another year, just for the fact that he is so good for such a young deer.
