timmyswetarded Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 This is only my second buck ever taken. Its a 10 pointer, and i green scored it and it scored about 163 6/8.....which sounds big....the antlers are pretty massive....but does that sound too big for the picture? Anyways it was my first evening out for our firearms season and i knew my uncle had a few big deer on his property so i was hoping to see one....annnnnd i did. For the past month i have been putting corn down in an area i like to hunt and it just snowed a few days ago and you could see so many paths leading to the corn so that was pretty promising. I got down there about 1:30 and about 2:15 i saw a yearling wondering about so i watched him for awhile....and didnt see another deer (this one) until 5:08... by the way it was like 15 degrees, anyways i was in the middle of taking off my hat and fixing my mask and i looked up and he was moving crosswise so i threw my stuff back on, grabbed my gun and waited for an open shot, he continued to move and never presented a shot until he moved 15 yards closer and one shot and he dropped straight to the ground...i had never done that before, it was a 35-40 yard shot.... ....next year, im bow hunting alright now that i shared mine i want to see some of ya'll success out in the field, so POST 'EM!

Super User Gatorbassman Posted December 3, 2006 Super User Share Posted December 3, 2006 That's a great buck. 163 sounds a little big but you put the tape measure to it. Just looking at it and compairing it to mine on the wall I would say it's probably in the low to mid 150's. But those main beams are huge between G1 and G3. They may bring it back up to the 160's.

timmyswetarded Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 yeah i was thinking it would score in the 150s but i agree about the main beams, the biggest circumfrence i recorded (the least circumfrence between two of the tines) was 6 2/8 inches and the G2 and G3 tines in the picture dont look as long as they really are esp on the left antler. Recorded spread was only 16 5/8 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmyswetarded Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 haha sure did but it was soo cold that my hands didnt shake all to bad....they were eh...frozen, and i know that 4 1/2 hours on a stand at 15 degrees is no biggie to some of you but for a third year deer hunter its pretty rough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
