Age guesses? Score too if you want - Mills County 10pt - 11/02/15 04:28 PM

Hired hand found the carcass on October 12, looks like maybe a lease hunter next door arrowed him and didn't find him. He was about 300 yards into our place and about 450 from their blind. I'm thinking 4.5 but if you are good at jawbones feel free to chime in. I'll post the real score a bit later.

4 on age and I agree on the 129 give or take an inch. Could have been stuck in a fight also.

Looks a lot bigger on those off center pics than the head on one.

It does hurt, this is two years in a row we've lost one like that. Last year was a large eight about the same score; I saw him in bow season and he was fine, three weeks and 30 lbs later he was a bony, staggering zombie slinging snot everywhere.

I saw a bachelor group including this one in June-he'd be one I would pass on this season unless I didn't see others and really thought he was 5.5. The rough gross score I did has him right around 129. 15 1/4" inside, 4 3/4" bases. Good mass, but short tines kept him from scoring more. With the right conditions he might have really boomed next year.

Be honest, was it an ethical shot?

I kid, I kid.

But seriously, was it?

125 to 128 on score and 4yo.

Re: Age guesses? Score too if you want - Mills County 10pt - 11/04/15 03:01 AM

3.5 or 4.5. Slight slope on tooth 6 makes me lean towards 4.5, but alot of it depends on how deer in your area wear.

Not mine but a guy on our lease. I have about 100 pics of him but he was shot at a feeder that does not have a cam. The hunter is excited as it is his biggest buck ever. Quitshootingyoungbucks has graciously agreed to give him the head. Sorry it took so long to reply.

That's great!!! Glad the gentleman is going to get his buck after all, and glad QSYB is kind enough to make it happen for him.

You can find neighbors, trespassers, old friends, meth witches with fawns, even your buddy's lost deer on the THF.
