Upset and can't sleep
Whitetail Deer
Ever since he showed up. He is very consistent. What is your guess?
My Guess = 175
Average Guess = 171
since there was not a holy #### options, I chose 175 gross. Has a nice solid 160 framework, with junk...
My Guess = 156
Average Guess = 171
My Guess = 155
Average Guess = 171
man I think you guys are low! 13 or 14 scorable points as non-typical, great length on those 2s and 3s, decent mass and beams. Ok he's not 22 wide, but looks like he carries his width higher over the ears and is about 17 wide... Mainframe 6x6! Are you kidding me? Maybe not a booner, but close?

170 is such a magical mark - the odds of shooting a buck that big and officially scored is in the .0005% range with a bow.
Could he be bigger than that? Maybe. I don't see that score but to surpass that 170 mark it needs to be really, really big. That last picture is a more telling picture that he's big but not bigger than 170 inches. I could be wrong - have been before!
Is he HUGE as is - absolutely!
Good luck! Let's see him on the ground!
if I just do a quick g1=6, g2=11, g3=13, g4=10, g5=4 x2 = 88",plus 17 inside = 105, plus 22" beams x2 = 149, plus 30" mass = 179, plus 7" drop = 186... Now I see he is a 5x6 though, and I am probably a little high on others, but still think he breaks 170 with relative ease?
My Guess = 172

Jack you are losing your touch.
186 gross, 50" in beams, 37" in mass, 20" inside spread, 42" in tines on left side, 37" in tines on right side.
Sorry Pat, I don't like the scoring system nor do I care about gross. When shot, killed and actually measured, he is going to score mid to high 50s. Net of course
Nick I will bet u a hunt for my backyard Bambi's versus Alaska moose guided by you that buck gonna break 170 gross :)
Three things Jack...
It's a great buck, I'd shoot him in a second.
It will not NET 170
And you don't want me as a moose guide, been hunting every day for the past two weeks or so. Seen two bulls in that time. Weather is cooling off though. Soon :)
who cares if we get a moose? it'll sure be fun! Even more funwhen the OP shoots that huge buck and it grosses 175!!!
I am like TBM - put me in moose country and I'll just hunt 'em like deer :)
Nick and Pat,
You guys aren't that far apart....considering that one is talking net, and one is talking gross. High 150's plus his "trash" and asymmetry puts you in the 170's, if you are talking gross.....
My Guess = 174
Average Guess = 171
That is a buck that who cares what he scores....shoot him! :)
Good luck!!
How about we have a Bowsite gathering in November to help get this buck to settle the score.
I did forget it was gross which would put it into the 160s. I still don't think it breaks 170.
Again, I would NOT care cause he's HUGE!
My Guess = 170

I'm seeing 175 with the kicker off his right G-2
My Guess = 178
Average Guess = 171
He will be a dandy next year.
I'd be seeing high 160's gross as a guess. I think Jack is a little large on his tine length guesses. Longest tines look more in the 9-10" range to me and brows at about 4,4.5.
Either way worth dropping the string on for sure!!
Big enough to give you the shakes.
My Guess = 177
Average Guess = 171
I would probably hold out for something more like this. But that's just me - how I roll :)
"Nets are for fish"
Still thinkin' about that 'bou aren'cha Pat..... =D
I don't know whitetails at all, but only know right now he scores 0. Until he's on the ground that is.... heheheh....
Good luck on him. That's a dandy buck for sure.
Jack you are planning to mule deer hunt? Nice!
95-
Agreed man...good point.
A-95 got it right, and wasn't that my point anyway? I could swear I wrote "nontypical" somewhere in there?
Yeah - Nick, I suppose that is a mule deer pic, shows how much I know!

He will gross 170, I might be wrong but I'm not sure that he will classify as NT, but what do I know. This one grossed 176 7/8s for comparison
Where are you guys getting 20" of extras? I see one 6 inch kicker. (I don't know if this is common, but I call it a "kicker" if it comes off a tine, a "drop" if it comes off the beam, and a "sticker" if it's at the bases :) )
That first tine after his G1 on his left antler looks like his G2 to me. Not an extra. Not sure if they'll score it that way. I'm not an official scorer
I don't know what he would score. I'm terrible at that game. But he looks to me like a typical 6x6 with one 6" inch kicker, which shouldn't be enough to measure him as an NT
Still an AWESOME buck, that I would kill in a nanosecond, depending on whether I had a good idea of his age or not, with some history

I can see not sleeping, but why the hell would you be upset??
lol, never thought of that....
yeahhhhhh, I wouldn't sleep either thats a stud. agree with others, I think that deer is gonna gross 170's. Hope to see you holding those antlers soon.
He scores as a bruiser in my book. Go get em and good luck

I have a 170 on the wall. This one has way more junk and points.
