I'd say he'd gross mid-high 160s as a typical plus the drop tines and junk should total 180ish inches worth of antler?

Default Nice Buck

..Past his ears in width, nice and tall, little week on the left, good inside, good brows, 166 1/8 gross!

A SHOOTER, hope you get a shot at him, go after him in the first couple of days in the season or he's on the move, they will cover 15 to 25 miles in an expanded range during the RUT.!!


Shoot Straight and Aim High

Man i dunno. That deer looks an awful lot bigger than 170s. Unless the pic is messing with my eyes id say closer to the 190's fellas

From the angle it's hard to judge his left side, but it looks to me like the left side is stronger than his right Some guy's might care about that because of the deductions. I wouldn't.

What I see is what looks to be a real solid 5x5; high and wide with good mass. The junk gives him some nice character. I would shoot this buck in a heartbeat. This is the kind of deer that could be the buck of a lifetime.

Good luck with him. If you get him be sure to post pics.

Bucks like that don't get shot for score, they get one because of their look.

Oh i definately would not pass him up,If we get a shot at him. Just thought I'd ask what people think of the score. I love all the junk. I agree that the one side is week. Dont care he is in for it ,if he shows himself. Buck of a lifetime.

In the 180's right there in that photo. Gross of course.

I wouldn't care what this buck scored, I'd take that big boy.
