woolybear Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 What you think. Taken in September at the bean field still in velvet. I really don't care but I know some of you get pretty close with your guestimates so I'm a bit curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) While you're at it....take a stab at this one too? I'm no good at this kinda stuff but would like to hear some opinions.:wacko: and a better look at the spread Edited October 20, 2010 by woolybear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Velvet on that first one makes it tough. Good beams and tine length. Not sure if he is a main frame 8 from that shot. As an 8 I would guess around 130. I think your second buck is in that first pic in the back, noticed his brows. Think he goes in the mid 120's, probably around 127'ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William and I are usually on the same page, but kinda disagree a little. First one I think he's a little better than 130, although the weak left brow will hurt. Second one, I don't think that deer will be much over 120. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right Chris, my guesses are just guesses and usually I guess a little higher than you. Think that second buck probably ended up a little heavier in the mass measurements, while the first one obviously is taller and has longer beams. Both would be shooters here without any second thought, second one probably a skipper in your neck of the woods. Suppose Matt is gonna have to tag them so we can see what they score.

TN Bucknasty Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 The velvet deer should come in around 135, maybe even 140. It's hard for me to judge for Northern deer because the bodies are so different from our deer. The second deer is probably 125, and I feel pretty good about that estimate.

woolybear Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I appreciate the guesstimates. Guess I wasn't too far off. Nice to see a couple like this running 'round the neighborhood to keep the hopes high throughout the season. Fat chance I'll get to target either of them due to posting and no hunting, but the rut could very well land them right in one of my backyards not 2 miles from either of them. These bucks were 25 miles apart William so I doubt thats the 2'nd buck in the first pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledrop Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 134 on the first and 124 on the 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 both around 130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 141 3/8 on the 1st one and 119 and 13/64ths on the second:p. Seriously I think the 1st one is in the 140's and the second might just get in the P&Y door at 125. Hope you at least get to see those bucks while on stand if not to tag 'em. Good luck Matt.

Prairiepredator Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 First one I would guess 140 and the second I would guess 127. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Yea I'd say the second just makes P&Y in the high 120's and the first is in the 130's. Those high set of beams makes things look bigger than they really are I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter1109 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 well i would say big enough to shoot him man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldridgem1 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 i believe the first deer is much closer to 140 than 130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 They are both nice deer. The first deer "appears" to only be an 8 point. It takes a very large and heavy 8 to make 140 inches. Remember you are losing inches from a 10 point. First deer would be 130. I love the way his rack wraps around. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
