Buck Down - 09/28/14 01:25 AM
18 scorable points and 2 shorter points. Low fence Irion county this morning with my bow. I'll post official score when I get it but should be high 60s to low 70s. My biggest buck to date. I'll get some more pics downloaded when I get home. 6.5 yrs old.

He is just a hater. He does not think that big deer like this exist on LF properties.
That is a once in a lifetime buck for most hunters. Congratulations .... truly a fantastic buck, and with a bow makes it even sweeter !! You're out around Mertzon if I remember correctly? I'll have to slow down through there and pay closer attention on my way to Big Lake lol.
How's it taste?

You meant exactly what you said, don't crawfish now. I agree with others here, you act like if the mature deer on your place average 130" everybody else's should too if not they aint LF.

Oh lordy
I give up with some of you , i meant what i said money is a wonderful thing and i should have finished my statement i guess and i am not trying to go back on what i said .
Everyone knows if you have a place like that that is going to produce good bucks like that then it is going to cost you unless you just get lucky and have land handed down over generations.
Sorry if i hurt feelings wasn't my intention at all and it is a great buck .
Seems this thread shouldn't be about anything but recognizing a great deer.
I would've crapped my pants if I would've seen this thing.
Anyway. Awesome deer, dude.

I seen a buck like this come 5 miles from my house one time on about 60 acres. he was 16pt and scored 163 on a free lease... amazing what they can turn into if you let them walk. buck of a lifetime right there. I woulda had to change my pants and probably woulda never been able to hold my bow still..

Re: Buck Down - 10/03/14 02:17 PM
I still say 160 but scoring these days is not the same to me as it used to be and i am not saying that he may not score that on the Ole B an C which needs a revamp to add only the horns but not going to start an argument but any way it a good solid buck that he will have a hard time topping thats for sure and i would prolly not be able to hold a bow on him to make the shoot lol.
Posted By: redchevy
Re: Buck Down - 10/03/14 02:27 PM
Looking at deer that ive seen that score in the 140's I have no problem believing that deer is in the low 170's.
Awesome buck!
I think I would have a difficult time scoring that deer correctly with the antlers in my hands from pictures on a computer would be akin to a wild guess for me.

This makes my head hurt trying to read it
The scoring system today is the same as it was a long time ago. Nothing has changed other than people talk gross scores instead of net scores.
Posted By: txbobcat
Re: Buck Down - 10/03/14 03:25 PM
That's non typ gross score. 4 4/8" of deductions on typical frame if you want net.
17 1/8" abnormal points

Thats what i said but it never has been what it should have been from the start of it all but i guess you will not understand that !Gross or net makes no differance to me what hors add up to is what i go by and the way it should be and thats the end of it !

Isnt that what B&C Gross score is? Or do you think there should be no spread measurement?

now if you had just said that long ago when you started underscoring all these bucks we would have all known to just add the spread to whatever you guessed. just look how close you would have been on this one had you added 15-16" for the spread.
