Tale a look at this blacktail. Patterned him and feel positive I can get him. Anything can happen though. Wish me luck!

Good luck. If he is a 4x4 I would guess high teens net.

23-Nov-20
Upper 130’s. Need to see side profile to know.

124 gross

Not bigger than Matt's! :-) Good one though...

From: njbuck
23-Nov-20
A good one for sure!

23-Nov-20
Tough call due to the body. He looks like he's got a massive body which might be making his antlers look smaller than they are. Mass looks good.

From: ki-ke
23-Nov-20
mid-high 20's?

From: BOHNTR

He won't net much higher than120", IMO.

23-Nov-20
Gross 120’s with side profile. Can’t tell how deep his forks are now.

110...I have a 135 BT to compare it to, so that is my guess.

From: Treeline
25-Nov-20
Hard to tell from the pictures but put my money on 114” since no one else has yet! Good luck killing him!

26-Nov-20
15-16 inches wide rule of thumb ears are 18". I would say about 110-120". He's a nice buck.

Tell her you are just letting him grow. ;-)

I always say that mass is the measurement that makes it hard to guess. I would say he grosses 114-120"s. Shawn

Trapper...Nice buck...Is that Net or Gross?

From: Zackman
30-Nov-20
Both nice bucks, but that last blacktail IS a monster!

From: TrapperKayak

Drnaln, its gross. 135 4/8" Lots of deductions, but I don t mind asymetry.

From: Treeline

Love that right side on your buck Kayak! Cool deer for sure!

Great buck TK.

From: Drnaln

TK, I like the gross score too....When I enter a critter in P&Y or B&C I don't complain about their system but just to judge an animal for comparison I always use the gross score.

From: TrapperKayak
01-Dec-20
Thx. He was old, very worn teeth, and weighed 206# dressed on the fish hatchery floor scale. Probably a bit past his peak. Tips very pointed and sharp, not rounded from rubbing. Pre- rut deer. His score in 1992 just made book, never entered him. I'm sure now he doesn't qualify.

From: Drnaln
01-Dec-20
TK, Only takes 95 for P&Y typical. He'd make that with ease!
