Buckslayer Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) Been a while since I've hit up the forums but I had to show this to everyone. I'm busy working full time, and doing my master's too... so all the rest of my free time is either eating, sleeping, or hunting. After a long archery season, passing up tons of little bucks, first day of gun season I got this guy 3pm Monday. Inside spread is 20 1/2", outside spread is 24", several circumference measurements are at 6". Back tines at 10" and 11". Early estimates of score at 155-160", I do plan to have it officially scored. Thanks for looking... enjoy. Was hunting in a new area on public land. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/g3YHjILZHzN7ppEKRmxZPnaM9S1bSzDltrwTupRUXxQ?feat=directlink http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/WAmVd_oBUhgxjQvZjxG_KHaM9S1bSzDltrwTupRUXxQ?feat=directlink Edited December 1, 2010 by Buckslayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckslayer Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Thanks guys - ruttinbuck, I shot it in Elk county, if you can believe that. Some guys are saying they think it will be in the top 10 ever shot in that county since there's very little cropland there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys are saying they think it will be in the top 10 ever shot in that county since there's very little cropland there. Wow, Elk County. Who would expect a buck like that to come out of those hard core hills? I saw some big bucks in the Allegheny Forest, but nothing anywhere close to that guy. Did anyone give a guess on age?

I saw some big bucks in the Allegheny Forest, but nothing anywhere close to that guy. Did anyone give a guess on age? Congrats once again, Matt :cool2:! My taxidermist aged him at 5 1/2. Which I would say is accurate given the mass. He was more than 5 miles as the crow flies from a cornfield. So, on browse and acorns I figure he'd have to be mature body wise to start putting on mass like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
