No shot on this guy

What a brute goodluck

That is a tremendous buck. Good on you for passing the shot and good luck to you on finding him again and closing the deal.

That buck is a stud! I'm not a great resource for scoring - but I'll throw one out. 185? You made the right decision to wait on a shot. I commend you on that! Hopefully we'll see another picture of it later with you holding it!

Hes going to net close to gross. I'm not a great scorer but I would say about 193.

Good job passing a shot you weren't comfortable with, I wish I had more restraint. Like others said, that deer would have a hole in it if it was as close as it appears.

He's a beast, the backs, mass, brows, and kickers make him a shooter for me any day! But he isn't built to score exceptionally well because of the short main beams and narrow inside spread. That said I'd bet he'd still gross 185-190ish.

I would have sent 200 grains of Nosler Partition his way from a 300WM. Base of the neck/shoulder.
Helluva deer right there.

Man, great buck! Way to hold out for a shot you are comfortable with. Hopefully you get another chance at him.

 

[DeepForks]

That's an awesome buck. Matching kickers with that double throat patch.
I hope you find him or one of his buddies. Good luck!

Looks like that buck was 100 yds? Did you even range it or still going “instinctive”? Very nice buck. Crabby fronts will hurt the score but double kickers easily makes up for it. I’d guess 185+ gross as well.

Just bought a range finder and going to the range now to shoot longer than the 100yrds I practice at. I estimated him to be 150yrds.

Oh my. Dead deer for me. Glad you know your limits though.

Beautiful Buck!! Good for you for not rushing a shot you were not comfortable with!! Hope to see you with him again on here soon!!

150 yds?! Oh man!

Kudos for knowing your limits I guess but holy cow he was CLOSE

Sheesh what a crazy buck. Good luck I hope you can kick him up again!

Gorgeous buck, hope you get another crack at him at a range you're comfortable with. I would have been shooting at that range, but a guy has to know his limits; kudos to you for practicing restraint.

 

[blake_culwell]

Wow. Unreal buck. Good luck getting back on him.

 

[mcr-85]

That cape is beautiful! I hope you can track him down and get a bullet in him. Good luck!

 

[Fonkie]

I found myself looking at his cape more than his antlers. beautiful buck!

 

[dr.mooseknuckles]

Wow on numerous levels!!!!

That deer: DOUBLE WOW

Your restraint: TRIPLE WOW
