    I’ll take it. 2nd buck any way. The first one i shot this season was a good one for my area. Usually any legal buck is a trophy out here. Pretty sad. I said I was shooting any legal deer tonight. I needed the meat and wanted to get us 50 extra anyway. So it all worked out.

    Nothing wrong with that at all, no reason not to take him. Congrats again on a good kill.

    Andrew!!!!!! Puts 190" on the board for the season atta boy!!!! Great buck, congrats.

    I feel like this isn't even fair anymore lol.

    Cls tell your boy to keep sand bagging his score until the end. He can add however much you guys need lmao.

    I had my first taste of a B&C deer today. Tasted like victory lol

    He's waiting on score from taxidermist, no sandbagging needed.

    But if the buck above goes on the card as 140 we can discuss :lol:

    The more I look at him I think he’s bigger than 140s. Going to have him scored by the taxi

    Great buck Andrew... you guys kill some giants... most of the bucks entered on our team are bigger than anything I've ever shot.... I have a few 120-140 class deer on the wall, but DAMN boys... I love it!!!! Very humbling at times... lol
    Keep it up! A few more does for points and we are good.

    Andrew do you have your measurement numbers? Maybe some pics with tape on it? Looks like disagreements.
    This is why I don’t shoot big deer, people don’t argue Fergies :)

    LOL. Andrew is a solid dude, and he's gonna get a second opinion on the score. NO matter what or where it washes out dude deserves congrats and should have that "I killed a buck" smile for weeks!

    Sounds good. He’s an amazing buck. Personally I think you’re on or extremely close if not, but I don’t have tons of experience to have any real credibility. I always just hate conflict whichever way it settles

    Same. I was telling ty, it doesn’t matter that much to me. I don’t shoot deer for the score. I shot him because he was a 5.5 year old we’ve been watching. Fully mature, probably wouldn’t add any more inches. But I’m the same way, I want this to be fair with no questions. I would want the same done if I were in their shoes.

    As referenced with Andrew, this is a buck I shot (one on wall) that is very similar. Less than stellar brows like his, 10+ G2s, nearly 10 G3s, long beams and over 5 inch bases....he scored right around 136. Just reference, and pictures don't always do a deer justice...they can make them look larger or smaller really.

    Also unlike some scores that have been questioned I'd say this one is awesome. Andrew realizes no one is pissed or mad, just curious if right is all. Look forward to seeing where it goes.

    Andrew do you got any past pictures of this dude from years past? You guys ever pass him or have any stand experience with him before this year?

    Also in the end if you guys keep dropping deer like you are LOL your win isn't gonna matter if his buck is 120 or 150 :tu:
