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.

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.

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

Hard to tell from the pictures but put my money on 114” since no one else has yet! Good luck killing him!

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

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

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.

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.

TK, Only takes 95 for P&Y typical. He'd make that with ease!
