This is on my 20-acre property in southern OK, so he’s going down regardless if I see him in the flesh, but what do you think? 135? Maybe 140?

I’m used to hunting public, so anything outside the ears looks like a monster to me roflmao

And yes, I name my game cameras after Brady Bunch characters…

Hard to tell at night and in velvet and with his rack closer to cam than body. I say cause of those considerations hes smaller than you think. Ill just throw out a quick 130. And I understand the thought process when only hunting 20 acres.
I remember a thread of yours last year so I think I know where you hunt public in Okla. Is your place close by that? Understood anytime someone doesnt want to answer a question like that.

I think you will have a lot of ground shrinkage. I let several go that size last year. To be fair though I hunt on 210 acres in east Texas.

Yeah, yall might be right. The velvet might be throwing me off.

Here’s another pic. Not as clear, but a different angle

Nah, I’m not bothered by that. Yeah, this is west of Ardmore, north of Cross Timbers.

It takes a BIG 8 point to make 130. This one made it (barely).
