a true WNY public land giant...

[TheTruth2]

Earlier this month i posted a pic of a extremely wide buck. Everyone was asking to see him nearly full grown....i finally got him and he did not disappoint ! .

[erussell]

Wow he is a stunning fellow isnt he!!!!!

I am glad i hunt public land in WNY

I want to see some follow up picks with you in them, good luck.

That is a fine buck...good luck this season....How old do you guys think he is?

[phade]

Short tines...but everything else is there.

Old enough at this point. I also wouldn't have posted that pic now, but that's just me.

[TheTruth2]

i would say he's 4.5- 5. hes big for a reason...hunted him for two years no sign of him during the season

[growalot]

reason I asked is even though from the neck /chest development you can see he's mature....His rack width may be the reason.. ...But his chest width looks rather narrow to me...still nice buck

[WNY Bowhunter]

That's a pretty nice deer. Good luck with him!

[WNYBuckHunter]

Holy smokes! Good luck getting after him!

Unique rack...is it an 8 or 10? For you scoring pro's out there, what would this guy score? just curious....

[WNYBuckHunter]

Looks like an 8 to me, but there may be another point or kicker on the left side. Id say low to mid 140s, but its tough to tell with the velvet on.

Hard to say with only one photo to go by...

I believe he'll be hard pressed to hit the 140 mark. His brows are really weak so he's gonna have to go on what's basically a huge 6-pt. frame. Still a really great stateland buck!!!

Cool. Thanks for the info. In a couple of weeks I pull the card on my trail cam in Putnam County. First time ever putting 1 out there. Would be cool to a see buck that breaks 100"! lol

[burmjohn]

Thats a neat deer, good luck.

[ghug92]

Wow! Nice Brute! I'd say he is a 9 with a little kicker on his right beam. The other long beam is hidden on his left beam.

[phade]

As mentioned the brow tines are less than ideal and he'll lose some mass once that velvet comes off...I'm thinking it'd be hard for him to ballpark 140. Deer like that, while certainly impressive to any hunter, will look much different come post-velvet.

[TheTruth2]

hes a shooter in my book!

That's a given.
