How big will this buck get?

Post by ridgetop » Sun Jul 08, 2012 3:36 pm

I know the video is really crappy in the near dark conditions but do you guys think this buck could make it to the 180" mark and/or 28" wide? Knowing the video was taken in mid June.

It's hard to tell. I think he could make 28" but without seeing his forks I couldn't tell you if he'll make 180". He has potential though.

Ok, I can't take all this joking around. This scouting is very serious stuff. :))
Here he is, as of yesterday. I am very excited about his progress so far in the last three weeks. I think he'll make 170 for sure. Come on 180. [-o<
I think he should hit the 28" wide mark too.
What do you guys think?

Sorry Ridge, I couldn't resist. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the first video.

All kidding aside, on 1st video I didn't think he'd go 180. On the second video (awesome stuff BTW) I think he might make it because his G3 seems to be splitting. :thumb

And if his left side does the same?? He might end up that depending on how much more length he puts on. But yes you definitely have yourself a solid 170+ buck IMO. Great front forks it seems, helps him score better.

Thanks guys.
Here's another one I'll be keeping my eye on. He may not score as well as the big 4 point but I think he will surpass the 30" wide mark, which I've always wanted to do. This buck has a 2" cheater coming off his right G2 and a drop tine also starting on his right main beam that's about 2" from the end. He could end up a cool looking buck.

I can't believe what a difference a year can make. Last year, I was really struggling to find any 3 point or better buck at all. Now this year, I'm seeing all kinds of nice bucks every time I go out and it's still soooo early in the year. This may turn out to be one of those very special years.
