Lol, thanks hammer. Thank you to everyone for your help. I have a hard time judging deer.

This guy is one of the average sized ones for the group, I glassed a total of 20 bucks in one drainage. However, when i saw them all I did not have a camera. I went back the next day and only found 7. I know i pushed 8 up out and over, they were the biggest.

Of the biggest, 3 big boys with 100-150 plus on this guy, the biggest 2-4 past the ears and 6-8 taller than he was wide. Only been hunting 6 years and i have never seen this many/size bucks in one place. You could easily tell relatives and that the 3 big bucks had been sending their genes down to this guy. However, one smaller body buck, body size of this one was past his ears, 14-16 tall and must have had a different papa. Hopefully I can get more Pics or harvest one.

Very cool place and animals.

Thanks again for all your help, I was thinking 90, 100 ish??????

As others have stated he's got good backs but small fronts, in a few years he's gonna be a great buck if he makes it that long, I would shoot him no questions asked

Ok had a stalk on this guy last night. Hadn't seen him in a while. 1 hr stalk up and around him as he and 2 others were bedded up on the side of the hill on the ridge. No trees, no cover except terrain. Looped above and around, don't know how i did not get winded, i was 100 above them and had to move into a drainage and ended up crawling 30 on my stomach downhill. Got to within 37 yds of him and 31 of a smaller guy the had me pinned on my stomach crawling down a drainage. I would have been able to get him if i had my compound, which i lent to my friend after he broke his bow last weekend, he slipped fell hurt his knee a little and dinged his bow on a rock. The upper arm is fiberglass and he drew and it started to splinter. So I lent him my bow for the last week and i used my recurve. next Year!!!

Hard to see the spread, but guessed him at 20"s or so. I believe he is well over 100"s though. Shawn

Tough to tell the spread so I went a bit lower than I would if I could see that better. Shawn
