A question to the trophy deer hunters with pics

[Schmaus]

My father and I shot this mule deer two years ago around PG I was just wondering if anyone could estimate what it would score. I have been tossing around the idea for a while let me know if you think it would be worthwhile or not. The only measurements I have are I got 25 inches wide (from the widest straight across shot I could find) and 20 inches tall skull to top (this one is a little rough but it might help give an idea)

See if you can get anything from these pics, I tried to get shots from the side cause there are a couple of little points on the tops on each side.

Im no expert, but Id guesstimate 165-170"

[Jelvis]

A wild guess, from the first picture I'd say, 140 I'm not a scorer but a second guess 144 maybe, nice lookig rack, no doubt about that, you PG Boys know what hunting is all about. PG rocks

[mainland hunter]

im gonna say 170-175 gross. net, no idea

[BCrams]

From the photo's, I am going with 155-160 typical "net" after deductions.

He has a nice frame but short fronts and backs and no eye guards. The buck loses alot on uneveness and the non-typical points.

Photos are always tough.

my buddy had one scored and it was 24 wide - very tall tines - close to that one it appears and it was 150... hard to tell from pix but looks close to his...

[DropTines]

nice buck, I've seen a rack that scored 155 that is way smaller then that, I''d say 165-180

The pics are hard to judge but it looks like it should gross in the 160's as a Nontypical.

[Schmaus]

Yeah I kind of wish it didn't have those extra points on the top, but then again I think they kind of look cool.

[ianwuzhere]

nice rack tho...maybe ill find one this year like em...

[Sitkaspruce]

I figure around 150-160. I do have to ask though, did you shoot it an then loose it for awhile. The head looks kind of beat up, like it has sat in the bush for a couple of weeks. The hide is riped and it has no eyes. Also the horns have a kind of weathered, white look to them. Just curious is all.

[Kirby]

I would say he would go low 160's gross score, net around low 150's as a typical.

If I was hunting and I came upon that buck ......

In the split second sometimes needed to judge the rack as a shoot or not shoot would be........

noguardsforkstooshort....yawn..........

Its done and keep looking for a bigger one.

Over time, it gets to a point where you will instantaneously know whether you're looking at a big buck or not.

Easier said then done:lol: In that split second to judge I would have sh%# my pants,:eek: droped my binoculars twice and tried to stop shaking long enought to take the shot. :mrgreen:

[Caveman]

I'm with the general concensus, somewhere in the low 160's. Not overly heavy, a little lost for the sticker points and uneveness, not the longest tines. Still not a bad deer, better than a lot of guys will see this year.

[Brambles]

Yup I see low 160's gross too..

After we butchered him I took the head wrapped it in a tarp and stuck it behind my garage for a couple years. Thats what it looked like a couple months ago when I took it out, I wonder if I can still get it bleached and european mounted.

Should clean up Nicely after the skin and whats left of the hide is scraped off.
FWIW: I've seen Euro Mounts done from "old kills" that cleaned up Nice and look awesome......except for the chew marks:lol:

[Fisher-Dude]

I'd say it's a low 150's deer with the lack of browtines and not overly heavy. I doubt it would qualify for non-typical scoring as it doesn't appear to have at least 10 inches of abnormal points. It is a nice character deer, and I'd be happy to get one like him!

[Mr. Dean]

No idea of score........But I know that I'd drop him in half of a heart beat.

FORGET ABOUT THE DEER! check out the sweet three wheelers! those are the real trophy's in all of this! i have two myself. real men hunt off atc's.

[~T-BONE~]

Deer has some character for sure, score would be the same as the majourity 150-160.

[Will]

Thats awesome I love my trikes. They really pi$$ a lot of my friends off when I beat them through tough spots on there $10000 fourwheelers. If you can ride your trike good it will go a lot of places.

[mikek blacktail]

135 - 150 typical. my best guess would be 142 typical.

[NEEHAMA]

YA AMEN ON THE TRIKES! i can load two in the back of my pick-up by myself! and if one ever got stolen. i would be out like $600. not $12,000.00!!...lol
