Score this un on the hoof!

bbassi · January 07, 2007, 12:37:00 PM

no wonder he has his tail tucked. That's just embarassing! LOL

kennym · January 07, 2007, 12:38:00 PM

He looks thick to have one so small,huh?

Kip · January 07, 2007, 01:29:00 PM

kennym I should be able to judge it well thats about all I see when I see a buck.Kip

Wow thats pretty wild, especially with such a thick body like Kenny said. Suppose we can laugh all we want but I wouldn't doubt that rack has saved his butt a few times. hmmmmmmm Natural Selection maybe?
Kenny, what kind of camera do you have?

Strutter · January 07, 2007, 02:38:00 PM

That rack would be scored as a little bitty one but he is a fat rascal.

Deerhntr · January 07, 2007, 02:43:00 PM

16.50" - 1.75 = 15.25.... Hey he's a shooter.

kennym · January 07, 2007, 02:47:00 PM

I guessed him at about 20.5" gross but don't know how many diameters a heavily palmated forkhorn would get?? :p
Eddie,its a Moultrie 2.1,not bad for the money.......

Maybe someone with more knowledge about antlers could start a thread about their growth. Will this buck ever get to be an 8-pointer? Or will he always be a fork, same with spikes? I know genetics and diet have a lot to do with it. If you gave this buck more calcium carbonate or supplemented his diet with a good food plot would he have any more antler growth?

kennym · January 07, 2007, 03:04:00 PM

Don't know if calcium would help,but he had all the beans,clover and milo he could stand,unless he just moved in for the winter.He would surely develop into a better buck antlerwise in a couple years,guess I've never seen a 250# spike or forkie. That said,yesterday I saw a 3x3 that I guessed to be 18-19" inside and big bodied.....

I sometimes find it difficult to judge another man's rack...however that can occasionally be alleviated with copious amounts of the intoxicating beverage of one's choice and/or a large mallet...

Of course your mileage may differ...

madness522 · January 07, 2007, 03:52:00 PM

That would be a solid A cup rack.....

Guru · January 07, 2007, 04:47:00 PM

Thick winter coat...hair slightly raised..... Thin neck.......and concave neck/brisket junction.

Just a nice year and a half old deer!

J-longbow,That once a spike,always a spike way of thinking went out the door years ago. This buck should mature into a fine buck someday if given the chance.

ChuckC · January 07, 2007, 05:29:00 PM

I though this was too good to be true !

Chortdraw · January 07, 2007, 05:43:00 PM

Looks like he would be good with mashed potatoes. Chort

larry · January 07, 2007, 05:48:00 PM

I'd score him at about 50-55lbs of mighty tender and tasty de-boned meat

:D

kennym · January 07, 2007, 05:54:00 PM

Maybe the camera angle makes his butt look big.

Troy,do ya really think he'll go 25"?

KellyG · January 07, 2007, 06:28:00 PM

Ha :D he is at least a 5 pointer if you count that brow tine stick up by his ear. Is this the first time you have seen him. I would see what he has to offer next year. If not much difference he would be the first one to get my tag. Just so I don't get a bunch like him.

However if next year he shows improvement see were he goes. Ooh yes the score does teeny tiny count.

Wudstix · January 07, 2007, 06:32:00 PM

I don't know he looks prettu symetrical. He might score well into the 20's.

Shaun · January 07, 2007, 07:13:00 PM

Ah dang, its about deer.
