Ethan Givan Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I just got pics of this big boy on my trail camera. He is the biggest buck that i have gotten pics of this year so far. This has me really pumped for this fall. Can you all give me a guess as to what he will score? I know this is hard with velvet on. Also how old do you think he is? Thanks :'> :'> :'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'd have to say he is probably 4.5. As far as score it is tough to tell...maybe around 150, but thats just my guess. Very nice buck;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Man you got reason to be pumped!! That boy's going to add inches before fall too!! As for age and score, I'd worry about that when you load him on the tailgate, but I think maybe, just maybe Chris would shoot him, so he's a good one!

Tominator Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Nice and tall. Not real wide, but good tines. I'd guess 140's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 That's a nice buck! I'd say high 140s low 150s. Not really good at guessing but that's what originally came to mind when I seen the pics so that's what I'm staying with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 boarderline booner by the fall and 3.5 to 4.5 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambo Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 He still has time to add another 25 to thirty inches of bone. July is the month they really grow. Up to an inch a day I have read. He could be a high 160's when you green score his rack in the garage. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Givan Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Yeah he really has me excited. Ive passed on smaller bucks for the last few years and it looks like its finally paying off. September cant get here quick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Scores are for ballgames,put him on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drop-time Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 He'll be over 150 for sure by the time hes done growin. A good one for sure. I like the split g3 on the right side. Good luck with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Nice Buck... note the time of his travel..LOL About to say the same thing, but a lot changes from now until October! He looks like a 4.5 yr old and don't worry about the score! Shoot him first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.ALLEN.IA Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I'm already dying to be out in a tree, but man if I knew I'd have him around I wouldn't be able to sleep!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeinwalker Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 in agreement I'm in agreement with most of the replies that have been posted here. 1.) Scores are for ballgames-put him on the ground. *Dang right, he's a shooter now, especailly if you don't have anything like that on the wall at home and most folks don't. I do, but I would definitely not let that deer walk. There are plenty others that need growing. 2.) He's 140, at least. *That's accurate. This deer is over 18" wide and 10 points. It's hard to judge mass when their in velvet, but you can dang sure count points and judge inches. This is only July and this deer IS going to be a booner by deer season. I'm guessing he'll be well into the 150's to mid-160's. 3.) He's gonna get bigger. *You'd better believe it. He ain't done yet. 4.) Time of day. *This is kind of funny in that he's there well before legal shooting light. That will change in September when thier travel and eating habits change. When bucks go it alone, they tend to avoid other bucks-even if they are the dominant buck in the are. They just can't stand the presence of other bucks. If he keeps running into them , at say 3:30am at that camera sight, he may start coming in at 5:00, or some other time. I've had bucks on the camera at 1:00am in August and caught them at 1:00pm in Septemeber. Also, when the rut comes in in your area, and if he's still around, ALL BETS ARE OFF! Stay in your stand all day for this big boy. You can believe if you see any smaller bucks chasing does around your spot, he's going to be in on it. Pack your lunch and stay put! Also, an empty Mountain Dew bottle converted to a porta-poty could be your best friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 1.) Scores are for ballgames-put him on the ground. Dont worry, I will put him on the ground given the chance. I dont really care that much about the score, I was just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackedUpZ71 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I would say mid 140's, but I'm not an expert at guessing score either. He's scores enough to put on the ground though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Very nice buck. That deer is at least 4.5, possibly 5.5. Think he will easily go into the 150's. Good luck on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymulti Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 150's! what a buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 He looks younger to me, but it could just be because I don't look at too many summer deer photos? I'd say 3.5 years old and he'll go 160 inches gross. Did you all know the Milo Hanson buck (over 213 inches net score) was estimated to be only 3.5-4.5 years old.

Ethan Givan Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 no new pics? Nope, no new pics. I pulled the camera from this spot and put it on a new piece of hunting property that I aquired this year. I need to buy more cameras.
