Score of one that got away?

[Nickofthewoods]

This buck gave me the slip multiple times about 12 years ago and I still have nightmares about it. It's hard to tell from my blurry photo but he had 5 on at least one side and massive thirds. This is just for fun, and maybe to help me get the closure I obviously still need.

Tall, wide, deep forks, my blurry score would be absolutely shoot, 190+ so sportsman expo score of like 215

Agree with above, since he got away, definitely 190+. If you would have shot him, probably shrink to 170.

Could be a fun thread, here's one that gave me the slip last year. Score the big 3.

That would haunt anyone. Had an absolute monster of a whitetail on cameras last year in Missouri and got a fleeting glimpse of him at last light one night, never to see him again. 50 years of deer hunting and absolutely the biggest buck I've ever seen. It happens.

Big 3 is soooo cool! Hard to say but he is probably closing on 170 at a 3x which is monsterous for a 3x

Missed a buck a few years back and shot his younger brother about 10 minutes later. Exposed turret got spun the previous day and I didn’t realize it until after I missed and looked down at the gun like what did you do?!!

Younger brother was a 5x7 and big brother had more points and a giant frame. I assume 180” frame, with 14+ points.

I missed the biggest buck of my life and shot the biggest bull of my life in the ass, both the biggest I’ve seen while hunting.

Thank you for this thread so I can remember what a loser I am.
