So far I am undecided on this buck. My area is hunted pretty hard and if I knew he would make it a year I would let him pass. I would be more than happy harvesting this buck as my first ever archery buck, but at the same time I just wish he had one more year in him.
The second picture of the left side worries me a little. I could be way off on this one. Not comfortable. Gross - 129 7/8" Net - 118 3/8" I like the buck and am not worried with the amount of deductions. I would shoot and I would be one happy camper.
He'll gross around 124-130 I'm thinking he's around 3yrs old if he makes you happy put an >>>--------> thru him. good luck and who knows maybe a bigger buck will pop up
Looks like an older deer by the body size and skinny face. He may grow a little next year but I would kill him in an instant if he walked by. Your call though.
Just my opinion but I think that is a mature deer and would shoot him regardless of what he scores. That would be one heck of a nice first buck with a bow.
That's a nice mature buck. I'd guess he is 4.5yrs...no record breaker...but I'd not hesitate if I had a shot.
It would be exciting to Poke him! Would be a great first archery buck! He does have nice width but his tines are short like my first archery buck from last year
Maybe this will clarify a little bit, lost his velvet. I think if he gives me the opportunity i will be able to give you guys a definite score!
