First GOOD card pull all year

[chrisw]

I have been running a lot of trail cams for the past 10-12 years and this is the best buck I've had to date. I hunt all over but only public land. I've had other great bucks but not a deer of this caliber. This summer has been especially slow with big buck sightings at an all time low for me but this guy just made up for it!  Any guesses on age/score? Enjoy!

My guess, big ole bruiser!   Good luck.  

To be more precise 5plus and 155-160.  I can't score my way out of a paper bag though.  He is a great buck, of that I am certain .

Nice one! I think high 130's maybe low 140's gross.

What a stud!!

Helluva buck....Defintely 140  gross.......A fine trophy in any case...

Holy hell! What a buck good luck

Looking a bit closer, he is a 10pt main frame with an extra point on G2.  And a huge spread with long main beams and good tines.  Only downside on score are short brows.   My initial guess is probably a bit high, but I would be surprised if he isn't at least 145 and maybe 150.  Put him down and we will know for sure.

Yea I was guessing in the 140-150 range myself. He has a small G-5 on his right side also which may or may not be 1".

That's a big ol buck ya got there! It's an honor to hunt a monarch like that! Give it your best and good luck!

That's a beauty. He's gotta be pushing 150 gross. Only got him on cam once?

[chrisw]

Yea, Just the one night so far. But I'm hoping he'll come back, it's a spot I won't hunt until late October/early November. It's always tore up with rubs and scrapes. And when I say rubs they are close to telephone pole in size.

Beauty !!! Hunt him wisely, pick your day(s). He didn't get that old by being dumb. Good luck with him

I also think he is full grown. 5 years or older. The mass of the antlers base is pretty impressive. You don't see too many deer of that age group,but there are a few around anywhere..

150 for sure

beautiful buck

[dbHunterNY]

nice buck for anywhere in the country.  5.5+ yrs old.  I'm not the best at score but think he's definitely 150+".  Anyone should want to harvest that deer.  Most hunters in the country will never see or get trail cam pictures of a buck that big or that old.

I think that bad boy grosses 150...that frame is big and the mass carries well to the end of the beams. I think that is the difference of 140 and 150 on a buck like this. 100% stud.
