Paunsaugunt Rifle Buck - Utah

Check out this AWESOME buck taken by Shawn Shaw on the famed Paunsaugunt.

I spend TONS of time out there and if you see a buck like this, you DEFINITELY pull the trigger.

Fantastic work and buck Shawn. :not-worthy

Awsome buck!!! Any idea on a score. If I was going to guess, I would have to say around 186.

Yeah if you see a buck like that you better be shooting. Great buck, I love the height and mass.

Here is Shawn's story...
I passed over 70 4x4 or better deer, and what was the best, is I found his track at about 9:30 in the morning knowing it was a fresh track and a big track, and me and my wife Gaylynn tracked him for 4 ½ hours and found him and four other big bucks in their beds… the rest is history…
 And if you think that sounds good, wait until you see/hear the unofficial score sheet on this buck.

Prepare to be amazed. :)

Anyone know or remember the state record for typical?

I wanna say it's 212 or so but it may be a bit higher than that?

So what are you saying Brett? Just tell us already what he scores!!! ](*,)

From what i could find Utah's record is 212 1/8. Not sure how accurate that is.

Shawn-

That is an awesome buck. I love the height and mass. I am going to guess a gross score of 190". I hope I can find something like that on the muzzleloader hunt. 13 days and counting . . .

Unofficial score is gross 221 4/8 and net 216 4/8

I'll post the actual score sheet later that Shawn sent me, for the naysayers. :) 10sign: 10sign:

Here is the score sheet, remember this is "unofficial" but VERY impressive.

We will wait for the final tally latter.

And maybe the hunter can tell us more about the hunt and details later?

That is one heck of a buck. I think that my dream of the Henries just took a change of direction.Congrats to the hunter. Those pics don't do him justice.

I don't mean to take anything away from this deer, but where are the three inch G-1's?
Both inside and outside widths are a stretch.
There is more than 1 4/8 difference in the G-4's.
Have you guys ever wrapped your hand around an 8 inch base?

A huge buck no doubt, but he's under 190.

it is friday and I'm still at work, maybe I've just got a bad attitude ](*,)
got any pictures from the side?

Great buck, No doubt but I guess I tend to also disagree on some of the measurments myself. No way it has 3" g1s or 8" bases.. I would love to see a buck of this calibre in my deer unit in about 3 weeks.

Sweet Buck for sure, But it no way those G-1 s are 3 inches, looks more like maybe 1 inch.

Whatever he scores, he sure looks like a beauty to me. I know he'd look darn nice up on my wall. Nice job Shawn.

I think that the buck is great but not 220", he should go 195-200! I would love to have the person who scored that thing score mine!!! Anyways great buck!!!

Yes, that is an awesome buck but I stand by my original estimate - 190 to 195. Those are not 8 inch bases, nor are those 3" eye guards. Nevertheless, I would love to find one just like him when the muzzleloader hunt opens next week. Congrats.
