00DodgeGuy Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Not much of a story....I blind grunted and he came in about a minute later. Came in from my right and worked is way around me and back to my left. Stopped him broadside with a grunt at about 60 yards. Made the shot and he went about 30 yards before expiring. Used 12 Guage H&R Ultra Slug Gun with 3" Hornady slugs. Haven't measured his rack yet.....any thoughts....He is a nine point.....4 on his right and 3 on his left and of course the brow tines.

00DodgeGuy Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I was thinking high 130s maybe break the 140 mark....now you all got me wondering. What is the proper way to preserve a deer until deciding whether or not to drop off at the taxidermist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBomb500 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Really great buck, Congrats!!! I am thinking high 140's or low 150's range as well. "150" buck, it will be interesting to see what you get.!.!.!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tp793 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I was going mid-140's. Great deer regardless of his score. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00DodgeGuy Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I put the numbers into a B&C calculater and it is saying 145 with 8" of deductions......so gross is 153.....I just think I measured something wrong because I never would have thought he grossed over 150. Maybe I need to have an expert measure him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00DodgeGuy Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 If I use the BTR then I come up a bit short of 130....I am so confused. :stretcher: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00DodgeGuy Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Don't know what is up with the calculators....I think the B&C one went stupid. Here are the measurements...and too me I get 129". Don't get me wrong I think he is a great deer but I think my perspective may be way off....I would have thought for sure he was high 130's.

When you measured the main beams, did you measure from the outside? I've seen people take the inside measurement before, and it is suppose to be from the outside. Secondly, are you using a string of some type to take your measurements accurately? I got 129, but that dude doesn't look like a 129 incher...something is not adding up. Either way, Congrats on your 09 buck!!! Edited November 24, 2009 by layin on the smackdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes measurarements are taken from outside....I used one of those flexible sewing tape measures(obviously not official), but should get me in the ballpark.
