Congrats on a great mount. I hope it brings you memories of the hunt every time you see it.

[Don_C]

That's a hell of a buck!

 

I'm at S&S twice a week for something, they are the hands down the best archery shop around WNY.

great buck ...booner or not.  no big deal and still a great accomplishment to take a buck you're after with some history.  looks good!

160 gets you an award .... 170 gets you in the book.

Nice buck.

[TreeGuy]

Can't wait to get my gun buck back !! Gonna have to re arrange the trophy room !

[nyantler]

Beautiful buck and mount.!!

 

[beachpeaz]

Just FYI, the minimum typical whitetail score to be in the Boone and Crockett Club is 160". Don't take that the wrong way though. It's a fantastic buck regardless. Congrats.

 

125 for bow gets you in the book FYI.

 

160" is for gun and 170" is what they call "all-time"

 

Don't ruin this guys glory.

160 gets you an award .... 170 gets you in the book.

Nice buck.

 

wrong. 

[beachpeaz]

Great buck! Don't let the people who don't have a clue ruin your trophy!  People should just be happy for others and pipe down.

right off the page you just linked:

 

"...trophies that meet the Awards minimum but not the All-Time minimum will be listed in the Awards book. Trophies that meet the All-Time minimum will be listed in both the Awards book, as well as "Records of North American Big Game."

 

160" makes the book.  170" is what they call "all-time" and that is an entirely seperate book.

 

And, for bow hunters, we use Pope & Young and trophies are listed at 125" with a bow.  That 160" is for a gun hunter.  So his deer IS a record book animal and WILL be listed in the record book (not just an award).

[Trial153]

Reading comprehension eludes you.

 

If the deer made 160 net it would get and award, what is the award? The award is that it is listed in the awards book. At the end  of the award period the record record book is published, its takes net score of 170 to make into the record book. Hence when I walk over to my book case and pick the say the 23rd edition and look under typical whitetail deer....they start at 170. 

[beachpeaz]

Stop pissing on this guys post.  Go find a hobby.

 

Nice RECORD BOOK buck buddy! 

 

Don't let anyone say anything different.  Get it officially scored by Pope & Young and get your award and your name in the BOW book PLEASE.

[NFA-ADK]

Don't get caught up in the numbers game, this is an awesome deer.  A good buck is a good buck and this one qualifies as a great one!  Don't worry about a score because this deer was a home run grand slam!!!

At this point ( if you haven't already figured it out ) I'm more impressed with my deer since I hunted him hard and watched him grow for 6.5 years. The encounters, the trail cam pics, but most importantly every year being able to close my eyes and picture him, talking with my hunting partners and imagining holding " the vamp's " antlers in my hands. I stood over him for almost an hour before I took a knife to him. I could really give 2 dumps what the # of inches on his head. I've got more history with him than he has inches. I don't think anybody is piss in on my post, but I did make the mistake of saying booner when it's pope n young. I don't care about the mistakes, cause at the end of the day, THE VAMP is in my living room, and will be forever.

[TreeGuy]

And another thing about how I feel with the numbers game.... who cares his antler score... he was 6.5 years old !!!!! How many people with that award or name in the book have shot 6.5 year Olds ??? I would be curious to know, even with the nysbbc... I'll bet that would jump me up that list !

[TreeGuy]

And this, 3 generations sharing my buck, is all the award I'll ever need.
