OP ILUVBIGBUCKS THF Trophy Hunter I Joined: May 2006 Posts: 9,794 St Hedwig	This buck has been coming to my place the past three years. Each year he shows up right around the first of December. I know he is at least 5 years old from looking at last year and the year before pictures. He actually looked bigger bodied last year and did not put on a whole lot from last year to this year except for a bit of tine length and some mass. His right brow tine was actually about 2.5 - 3" longer last year. What do you all think he scores? He is a slick 8 except for a small kicker on his left brow tine. High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

I don't think he will break 130 Depending on what part of the state your in he might only be 3.5 If he is a hill country buck then could be older. Last edited by BradyBuck; 12/19/14 06:25 AM.

I kind of pulled a fast one on you guys because I laid the wood to this old boy Monday evening. I didn't do it to be a Smarta$$ but just to see if most of you would underscore him just like we did. Like most of you here, I also was a bit fooled by this buck and though he'd be in the mid 30s. He scores 145 6/8 and is my 2nd best buck to date. He is one hell of a buck for our area without a doubt and I'm very thankful and proud to have taken him. I will post the pictures, story, and measurements on a new thread called HOUSE BUCK #2 High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

I could see his tine length and mass, I probably shorted him a tad on mainbeam length and spread. Great buck for sure!
