[drop dead fred]

I know there's bigger deer on this property but still none on camera had this guy the other day I got him at 4.5 ill prolly pass him because I know the potential that's out there am I missin out on a good deer? Hard to tell in this pic but his left g2 prolly 10" an g3 prolly 8"

[AggieDVM15]

I like em trashy! But would probably pass if there were potential for bigger bucks around. Sweet deer none-the-less.

Reminds me of this guy I had on camera for 3 years. I only saw him once in person and that was the evening I shot him. I was hunting a large 10 pt with multiple kickers but when this guy showed up, I had know problem changing my mind. He had another large palmated thing that looped back behind his neck but he had broke it off before I shot him. This was my buck for the year but he had a horse of a body on him. He hit the scales at 200 lbs even. I was quite happy with him. His teeth had him at 4.5 but from watching him for the 3 years, I had him at 5.5.

As for as measuring, you measure the spread from main beam to main beam. All the extra junk has no bearing.

[cominahead]

leave him

leave that ugly youngster to walk another year or in reality let your neighbor shoot him

I know the regs say inside spread of main beams. But, what do you call a main beam on that buck is the question? That one may have to be sent of to TPWD for clarification on where inside spread is to be measured.

[CastAndBlast]

I would let him walk and possible spread some trashy genes, but that is just me. We don't have a high enough buck ratio that we need to cull based on numbers.

Shoot
