Bucks over 30"

[silasbowhunter]

I would classify him as a mature buck but he did look younger. 4.5 years old possibly??? Another year would have been unreal!

Hard to convey over the internet but I was being extremely sarcastic haha that bucks frame/character were insane, no chance I’d ever be able to pass him!

Over 30" inside

A true 30" deer is rare indeed. I've seen hundreds of bucks scouting and maybe only two or three went over 30". I believe Gary Fralick's check station data out of the Wyoming Range said that only 3% of harvested deer where over 30" wide.

Got a few.. This one is basically a 2x3 and on the last day I could not pass him up.

A rule of mine, NEVER pass a 30" buck. Great job!
