    I normally don't post this, but what do you think this buck scores?

    This is a picture from last fall, so I'm hoping he's still alive. I actually didn't know about this buck until someone showed me the picture this winter.

    Sorry about the crappy picture, its a picture of a picture.

    My head hurts trying to add all those split tines not to mention that drop point and main beams that look like baseball bats!!!
    I'm not even gonna put a number on him but he's a triple backflip out of the stand slob

    I just sketched it out at 205"

    Are we in the same ballpark?

    It looks like there's a 2-3" sticker coming out of his left base - I think I see something poking out from behind the edge of the right ear.

    What a megabuck, Danny. Good luck with him, bro.

    That's about my rough estimate too.

    Because of where he lives, I really had no intentions of hunting him this fall. But, now that I look came across the picture again and its getting close to fall, I really can't get him off my mind.

    I may make a serious effort to see if he's still alive. If he is, I may try to spend every chance I can putting my tag on him.

    Definitely 195+ could be the buck of life time bud, if you have the possibility of getting on him, DO IT! worst case scenario you chew on some tag soup, but you will have had the opportunity to hunt a buck bigger than 95% of the bow hunters in this country this year.

    Little doubt in my mind he breaks the 200" mark, I think your nuts if you have an opportunity to hunt this buck and don't do it. Looks like a pretty close picture in the water,thinking how many hunt in Ontario, whats the story behind the photo? If you wouldn't mind sharing, no big details of course.

    No big story to him. I was at a sport show last winter and a guy I know showed me the picture and told me exactly where it was taken and when.....last year September. That's it.

    I've never stepped foot where this buck lives, but have a lot of the area not far from there. I do have access to it, so I will most likely give it a whirl.

    Honestly, this buck may not even be alive right now. For all I know the winter may have gotten him or he could be wolf **** by now.

    I can't say for sure, but I would guess the deer is winning.

    Nope, no set up. I honestly have no idea what it actually scores.

    He's plenty big enough to break the jinx with. Good luck with him Dan.

    200+. Would love to spend a season chasing his hairy butt!! Just knowing it's a possibility would make my hair stand on end. I'm excited about chasing a couple 140-150 class this year I have some pics of!! Now I'm feeling inadequate.

    I think I need a hug.................

    I just kinda rough added in my head what I thought each tine measured and i came up with 218". Im a little bit higher than the rest of the guesses. Regardless, that is an awesome deer. Hope you get him. Good Luck.
