    Trick question right? And it'll score in the mid 120's.

    It will be a cold day in hell before I care if someone else thinks I should or should not have killed a deer.


    Congrats on your buck.

    Nice buck man!! Especially for your first bow buck!! I am still waiting on mine after 7 years. I have passed on several decent bucks but that one would have gotten an arrow flung at him lol!! Congrats again!!

    Congrats hell of a first buck with a bow. He'll go 120's. Hunting is a solo sport so the only opinion that really matters is yours. but that buck is bigger than 80-85 percent of bucks hunters kill every year.

    Congrats on the nice buck! I would have taken it. I would guess over 130 for score, but I'm also the guy who has asked others how they figure a score without tape. I'm just comparing against bucks that I have seen measured. Two we shot last year that were measured in low 130's. This buck is bigger than those two that were measured by someone else last year. Could be completely wrong, but I would be very curious to hear the score on this buck. Nice buck either way. I understand why many don't care about scores on antlers.

    Never second guess letting an arrow rip...you wouldn't if it didn't satisfy you right? Great buck, and I'd have shot him in a heartbeat! I'd say right around a gross of 127 5/8 :D
