Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Had a visitor on my deer cam any guess on score

And this 3yr old outside my bedroom window. Not much mass, just width and nice tine length.

Yes, you shot it with a different bow that had a sight on it.

136 3/8

Just a click or two more but not much. And I only posted it because my neighbor had several pictures of this deer from the same/similar angle as the OP - he and his buddies were convinced it was mid 160's.
They all appear much bigger from that angle or directly behind.

Regardless, I'd be loosing an arrow or making boom on the deer in OP's pict.

Considering the OP's longer tines and main beams, addition of the G4's, and appearance of more mass, I'm sticking with my original guess of high 160's to low 170's gross.

But you're right, pics can be very deceiving. I've been fooled a good number of times.

I'm guessing mid 150's on both deer Skane's appears too me to have a wider spread, but slightly less mass on the tines.

I would absolutely pull the trigger if I saw either deer during the season.

If that was a TX buck it's only be a 140+ buck but my understanding is you guys have bigger bodied deer there so assuming that's true I'd guess he's in the 150s.

There are like seven different sub-species of whitetail deer according the book "The Deer of North America" By Leonard Lee Rue lll and the original poster has that picture from Virginia. They figure that a B&C buck is one in a million and as far as I can learn, Virginia has only a couple dozen B&C bucks registered. Don't get me wrong, that is a shooter for sure, but a guy needs to look at the area and body size to get a good perspective on antler size. What puzzles me is that those huge bodied bucks up in the North East like the Benoit guys tracked had rather small antlers for the majority of those 200# plus dressed bucks.

Great point and one that changes my perspective

looks like he has the makings of a good deer. Probably big enough next year. But that's such a bad picture its really hard to say.

Better pic

Still a 170 inch gross Buck.....Maybe 175 from that angle...

Wound up being 20 1/2 outside spread waiting on score from taxidermist

You've done it again Scott!

I would love to hear the story!

I want to hear the story and see some pics.

My guess is that YOU SUCK as much as anybody on this board!

He disappeared off my cams a month ago I thought he became a $29 daylight trophy.Went Monday morning on the next mountain over and had 2 bucks fighting within 100 yds behind me right before daylight. Around 8am I heard fighting again on the ridge across from me and he came running within 50 yds whatever he was fighting whooped his ass cause he had fresh scars on his eye and his entire ear cartilage was dislocated. When I saw him I thought it was just a decent buck running so my internal "kill that mo fo" instinct kicked in normally I'd have a Winchester model 70 but being the climb I had to make toted my savage 16 308 I bought schit when I found him it was like de ja vu pics are in the image gallery I can't figure out how to load them

Glad to hear you got him. Try to post some pics if you can.
