There's times when i guess the scores pretty well and others when i'm really not that close. This guy looks like a solid 170 class buck to me. He's got some nice stuff going on in that rack of his that makes him the kind that i sometimes, especially early in a good LE type hunt, don't want to find or run into right away. If a guy has a shop full of that kind and better bigger racked deer, then why not hunt and look, hope to come across a monster? Hard to do but i've passed those kind of bucks to take the nicer bucks that i have. To each his own on that! Try passing a buck you know or figure is 30" wide. That's really tuff but big or small, they got to float your boat and if what it is makes you happy, take em!.
