I posted this deer a few weeks ago but it was a pic of him in 2022. I think he came back even bigger this year despite the drought! I guesstimate him at 6 years old 160 plus. Thoughts?

Front view

I hate judging velvet deer and night pics, but I have 75 up as an 11 pt and on a conservative down of B44,M30, S18.

I have 167, easy 6.5+ with those knees and chest width.


very symmetrical buck

My thought is I'd probably send one right over his back 'cause I was shakin' so hard.

But...what's with that fence around the feeder? Looks like the rope at a nightclub to keep the commoners waiting to get in in line.

I agree with BOBO, but I'll add, he could possibly be a main frame 12, and If so, he's pushing 170.
Hell of a buck

Mid 160 and 6+, whack him.

That fence is for the VIPs

Beautiful buck, looking forward to you connecting with him.

Great buck and agree with the others over 160. Hope to see a pic later in the year with your hands on him

Really nice buck, no doubt!

What he said...

Nice

Beautiful. I have 164. What part of the state are we looking at?

Beautiful buck, I give him high 160s. I think with just a little more mass, he'd break 170.

We are in Baylor County. Got my fingers crossed he starts showing up in the day time soon. The Waggoner ranch is across the highway from us and we pull quite a few deer from that property. I'm 98 percent sure that's where he and a few others are coming from.

Great buck. Hard to tell in velvet but I would go high 150 to low 160's for sure. Old sucker. Good luck getting him.

Easily high 160s.

Just wait to the rut and that dude fills out more. Going to be a nice hunt.

Bobo, what can you tell about the knees in a pic like that? Surely you cant see callouses. Are they knobby?
I didnt look closely at all but 160s seems easy to get to. My old lease is south of you and their deer this year look to be as good as ever and we go back to 2007. Timely rains in the spring.

Thats a big boy, good luck!

STUD

good luck! Hope you get him
