This is the one he shot last night, don't know anything about score, but definitely not one you pass up! For the rifle nuts, .257 Wby with 100TTSX and 72 RL22.
Great buck! There is nothing about that buck that adding a score to it could improve upon.
This. Score means nothing. I do it sometimes just to see what it adds up to out of curiosity, but the trophy should always be in the eye of the beholder!!!
My biggest trophy, is a shoulder mount of a doe that was the toughest to kill in my life. Way harder than any of my better bucks to kill.
This is my oldest grandson's doe from opening day, his fourth deer with four shots, first one was with a .223 AR15 at 140, second a .243 at 80 yards, third a 9 point at 174 with my 7x57, and this doe at 202 with his .243 Ruger American and 80 TTSX 45 H4350.
Dang Nice Deer jstevens. Glad you guys are having good luck. Its been a real slow season for me so far. Hoping the cool spell coming in later this week brings them out of the wood work. Congrats to your Family on some nice Deer.
I wasn't too far off with my 165 guess. My brother says gross was almost 168, 163 1/8 net. He was trying to say mid 150's and I knew he was better than that. we've been fortunate to have good areas, and enough restraint to hold off on bucks under 150's. Northern Missouri

Thanks. I can't get back out till Sun/Mon, but I think it'll be better if it isn't 65 degrees.
Our place is about a mile from Iowa. NW. I think counting mine, we have about 45 on the wall over 140, but at the same time it isn't unusual for us to not fire a shot at a buck for a year or two. Him and my nephew get good archery bucks pretty much every year. If I get bored, I'll take some pictures of the basement man cave. My walls contain more African stuff than anything else.
