Saturday night in Shackleford Co

Saturday night in Shackleford Co - 12/13/21 02:38 AM

Hadn't been out since mid November. I never check game cam pics till after my first hunt of the trip. A new guy appeared. I'm texting the lease buddies while taking pics and watching him move from feeder to feeder. Nobody had seen this deer. He started showing up the week of Thanksgiving. Watched him a good 20 minutes. Looked and zoomed in on one of my binocular/phone pics and grabbed my gun. Haven't scored it yet but inside spread was 18-5/8, mains were in the 26" range. One G3 was 12". My guess is in the high 150s. Not my biggest, but my best looking deer!

I'm erring on the side of caution. I want to be surprised! ☺️

If the numbers you listed are correct then he’s in 60s for sure. 26 is a very long beam. Great great buck regardless of score.

Huntincoach, that first pic looks like a different buck than the other wide boy ones. First pic shows a taller, slightly less wide buck but a stud as well.

That first pic was with my phone thru my binoculars about 30 seconds from it's dirt nap🤣. Maybe the lenses had something to do with it. But it's the same fella.

Agree completely if he is 18 IS and 26 MB!

Hell of a buck and I'm betting low 160s.

Great deer

Edit..... My taxi just did a rough score and he went 165. He'll do a more accurate one after he capes it out later this week. He thinks it could go 168.☺️👍☺️
