Any back story?

It's a huge buck but there is a little long arming that makes it look even bigger than it is.

Been down that way, Pomfret R&G has a good 3-D course. Area looked good for deer hunting, but that one is exceptional. 6.5 years old?

Friggin giant! Is it a bow kill?
I don't get the long arming comment at all.

Great buck, no long arming that I can see. If I had killed it, the medics would probably be looking me over. He looks excited, unbelieving, or both !

Wow great buck. The way that left beam curls is pretty cool.
From: PushCoArcher

I don't think he's super old but hard to tell from the one pic. I'm terrible at guessing score but I'll play 181 and 5 years old.

You clearly have no idea how far from Wyoming the state of Connecticut actually IS….

^^* oh I do ;) I thought this thread was about bucks killed oh so close to where people hunted. ;)

I got fooled really badly by a staged picture of a nice local buck killed 2 weeks ago. Would’ve sworn the deer grossed 190 but ended up mid 160’s. However, I don’t think this will be the case with this deer. I’ll guess gross score of 172” and 5 y/o.
From: t-roy
02-Dec-24
Using the WAG scoring system, I come up with 173” gross and 6.5
From: BC173
02-Dec-24
180…. 5.5 or 6.5 yrs. old
From: greg simon
02-Dec-24
Using the same system as t-roy I get 170” at 5 years old.

Wow, a great buck.
Brad, that WY buck is a true beast!

171 6.5 Both are beautiful bucks no matter how far apart they were shot!
From: Stoneman

Pat’s buck 165 + or - , 5.5 years old. Brads buck, slammer!

“Both are beautiful bucks no matter how far apart they were shot!”
No doubt! But CT is kind of a terrible place to be an outdoorsman… Unless you own a lot of land or are on great terms with someone who does….

Alright Connecticut, no more screwing around. We know what you're capable of now.

Insane! Using the tell a friend scoring, or “gross non typ” I’m coming up with 173/174. Net somewhere around 165. Sheesh that’s an insane 4. Age I’d have no clue based on that pic.
From: Charlie Rehor

This deer scores as a typical. I don’t see 15” of abnormal points. Big 8’s are so cool. Gross guess is 171”.
From: BC173
03-Dec-24
Charlie, the only thing that could make that 8 even more special, would be a drop off one of the beams!! That’s a great buck, anywhere.

6.5, a little too gray on the nose for 5.5, and gross at 181
From: APauls
03-Dec-24
WAG I was gonna say 177 and 6.5. Realize comment in front of me is identical lol
From: JohnMC
03-Dec-24
Adam, shouldn’t you Canadians be scoring him in centimeters anyway?
From: Trying hard
03-Dec-24
I'll have to remember that one ..... WAG scoring system.
From: t-roy
03-Dec-24
John…Adam’s guess equates to 449 cm & .58 loonies.

Troy did you ask Siri?

The G-2s on that buck are unreal, really long main beams and mass too! I hope he spread around his genetics around CT generously! I'll guess him at 179 and 5.5 years old.
From: Blood
03-Dec-24
I would be curious how you got an age so quickly with cementum annuli for the accurate age.
I’ll play however - 8.5 and 177.5 gross.
From: APauls
03-Dec-24
If you wait until it's -40 the cm and the inches are the same so it's easy then.
From: Brian M.
03-Dec-24
Older than average and bigger than I've ever seen. That's about as close as I can get.
I would like to hear the story with details though.
