main beam? nothings broken... hmmm seems like this deer really is that big? I been telling my dad its big but not trophy Im guessing it scores in the 130?

[perchking]

I would add another 40 at least to that measurement,

It is HUGE if you ask me.

[96trigger]

Ummm, the one laying next to it is closer to 130. That buck is huge, congrats.

[HandGunner]

huh? it really is that big? or are you guys just guessing based on the pic?

any shops around the anoka county area tht would be able to guess the size?

im working on doing a wood plaque mount, you know the walmart mounts on this deer and yes I already have cut the section out of the skull so no euro or shoulder mount will be possible anymore. Would be nice to have but our money can go twards better things plus we think the rack is ugly at the same time.

as much as this deer could have been mine since it came to me first but faster than the flash himself Im just so happy to see how lucky my pops is that throughout the years of hardships of having to sell his guns for money and losing so many treasured materialistic items and giving up all materialism things that ppl want, the gun we built together after life got a little easier on us that shot this deer and another nice 8 from last year, he truly deserved it.

Thats a really nice buck mo matter how you hang it on the wall! That thing is awesome

[nonteepical]

Bring that ugly rack to the deer classic in March It's at the national sports.centre in blaine Ask for me i'll measure it for you.

[monstermoose78]

you can still get a shoulder mount a taxidermist can order another hide. It not uncommon for a taxidermist to use another cape, because some one neck shoots or puts a killing shot in the neck or slits the throat. It will cost a little more for another cape but may be still worth it.

holy daaaaanng! congrats. thats definitely a deer of a lifetime. what part of the state was this beast from?

[Gordie]

Handgunner a taxidermist can put those antlers on any cape and build you a shoulder mount. That is a great deer I think mine was a 130's buck yours is in the high 160's or 170's

congrats

I may have an extra cape if you want one.

[CrewJones]

I bet that deer scores 180-195 but im not a pro just exited that your dad and you connected on such nice deer.

[MattL]

Nice buck! That deer is easily 165+ gross!

[PropsterII]

Chris Wallace at Wings n Things Taxidermy in Ham Lake must be fairly close to you. He can score it for you. I'm still confused which deer you are calling an ugly rack and 130 because it seems you are referencing the big one.

[tengy]

that deer's got to be pushing 200

[CANOPY SAM]

200 would be a big stretch, but I'd wager he's close, if not slightly over 180. Have a local taxidermist come over and score him. Looks to be 24-26 inches wide at least! Let us know what you find out.

Congratulations to your Dad! That's a terrific story, and truly a buck of a lifetime! Perhaps you could convince the taxidermist to cut you a little deal on a nice horn mount, if money is a little too tight?

[mrklean]

Great job what a beast

[Archerysniper]

Congrats Gordie.

Handgun you need to get that thing scored it is HUGE and I would try and get a shoulder mount most people never see a deer that big.

[wiggledastick]

My biggest deer to date. 5 1/2 days on stand with only 2 does then he steps out 20 yards from me like a ghost. He ended up dressing out at 210 and is an 11 pointer. Not sure if anyone is familiar with the Nashwauk area but its not on a regular basis you see deer this size so he is a true trophy in my eyes.

[Archerysniper]

I took this one in the downpour this morning with the blackpowder.

[hugonian1]

A lot of great bucks here.

The taxidermists should be busy!
