Another "How big is he?"

Post by Springville Shooter » Sat Jul 31, 2010 8:32 pm

What does the panel of experts think? I know that the pic is a little cruddy, but my guess is that he is about 26" wide and fairly young by his head and body size. Something to look at anyway.--------------SS

How big is he? I say he is big enough for me to flip a stick at. Especialy if he is on public ground.

I'd say your pretty close on the width, I'll go with 140" or so...tough to tell from the pic though?

25-26" wide.......130-140" depending on points. Cool looking buck with lots of potential.

i agree with everyone with the 25"+/- range, but score- who knows. that buck could turn his head and be a 160" or 130" buck. he might be a 3 point and have crummy forks or he couldd be a nice evenly forked 4x4.

i know one thing, unless i'm in an extra special hunting area, i'm going to try and shoot him :thumb

24-25 wide and he does look like a young deer if he isn't killed he has great potential.

But I would kill him in archery or on a general tag potential be damned.
