Mule Deer Buck of a Lifetime

[Lota lota]

You can give Bill Hepworth a call in Laramie, he's an official B&C scorer and argue with him about tapes.

I think you need a clue and a trip to the eye doctor for Christmas.

I think you should get your scorer a gift card to the eye doctor evidently. Or teach him which side of the tape to read. Centimeters and inches get confusing sometimes!

The owner of the 220 buck needs to stand up.

Wonder how close this gets. Not mine but the wife’s grandpa. Pictures don’t do his main frame justice. Then all the other junk. Never had a tape on it

I suspect the numbers are 100% accurate for what it’s worth. I sat next to buzz one day in 2005 and we watched a group of bucks the day before opener - one was excellent and we figured 170+. We hunted higher the next day and mid day I told him I’d be happy with the one we’d seen the day before and asked if he minded if I went down lower to look for it - as he’s the one who spotted it originally. He said go for it as he wanted to keep looking. I killed it and it was over 190.

I'm not calling you a liar. But I've held a 222" buck that my neighbor killed and all of Buzz's would of fit inside of it. That first one he posted I find hard to believe is 184". The other one's scores too are hard to believe. I'm sure he'll see this in the morning when he wakes up and throw a shit fit but I don't care.

I'm not calling you a liar. But I've held a 222" buck that my neighbor killed and all of Buzz's would have fit inside of it. That first one he posted I find hard to believe is 184". The other one's scores too are hard to believe. I'm sure he'll see this in the morning when he wakes up and throw a shit fit but I don't care.

You seen them 1st hand? Or just the pics he posted? I say take your ignorant drivel elsewhere, just a suggestion for you.

The 222" deer? Yes. Or are you talking on the hoof or one's that I have personally killed?

You can tell a lot by photos as far as mass and beam length etc. It's not adding up to me until Buzz or you prove me otherwise. Then I'll eat crow.

I would take your "ignorant" scores elsewhere too. You guys aren't fooling anyone.

This doesn’t match my experience at all. Photos are really tough as the animal can look way bigger or way smaller from a photo. I have seen it first hand many times and could even show you examples from animals I have taken.

Lota lota shitferbrains leave it to you to ditch a good thread.

A friend scored this at 192 gross, but after looking at all these other nice bucks/scores, it makes me wonder if he was just being nice . Whatever he is, it is still my best all around Mule Deer buck.

[gonhunting247]

Not sure, but between 170-180 according to a few friends

JFC, you're dumber than a stump and know nothing about scoring a deer, or anything else.

You don't see low 190's?

FFS, its a 175 frame all day long, with 18-20 inches of trash, open your crossed eyes.

Oh, and another look at the 184 buck.

No shit huh? Yeah, not too uncommon for a mid 180's buck to not look as big as something 222, I mean it's only 40 inches more antler.

Nothing gets past your pointed head.

P.S. I bet your neighbor is contemplating moving.

I’ve seen both of these in person. The scores are accurate. I thought the non-typ was 196”, but it’s been a minute!

Very well could be, but I didn't want to over-inflate the score and hurt alotalota feelings...

Numbers thrown around are inarguably real when an official measurement is done - vs. alota lota bullchit.

 

[Jnasa]

I don’t think this was the kind of measuring contest meant for this thread.
