One Unlucky Buck

[Kyle]

Do you use trail cameras to pattern these deer? I wish I had some land in the family around here...you are one luck fella.

Looks like a donkey with horns! Nice deer.

Nice deer tippman. That is getting my blood pumping for rifle this weekend. I will probably have better luck without the older brother with me! great deer!

Awesome Buck congrats on a great animal!

[sheepheadslayer]

Nice Deer but there was no reason to long arm that one. He is has a huge body!!!

[Shack]

Very nice deer Tippman

If I am remembering correctly talking with you at a GT, some of the land you hunt is close to some land I gun hunt.

Maybe this year it will happen for me

[Tippman]

Sorry forgot to post the score. My very quick score yielded 129 4/8.

My goal this year was to make the books so I'm content.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Congrats again.. welcome to the Book!!!!

Tipp, I hope it doesn't shrink much, I knew it would be close but man, that could be close, unless you are really confidnent in your scoring ability. When I got mine green scored, the guys said that they are always 3-5 inches high in the score after shrinkage, they were right on. Good luck, awesome buck, hope he makes the book.

Don't worry, they don't shrink anywhere close to 3-4 inches. A few eighths of an inch is more like it, usualy spread.

[Tippman]

Boy, had me scared for a moment. I didn't think they shrunk that much. When I butcher the deer and can set the rack on a level surface instead of trying to measure it bending over from hanging just off the ground I think I can get within about a half inch. It's nice to get another for the club.

[96trigger]

Didn't mean to scare you, the guy I had measure mine scores a lot of deer, and he said that he always scores 3-5 inches higher. He was exactly 5 inches higher on mine. I didn't lose too much to shrinkage, it was more that he wasn't quite as precise as the official scorers.

thats a great buck...save the other one for next year if the slugs didnt get him

[Tippman]

Saw him on a different trail cam from the 15th. I'm pretty sure he made it. Shooter next year for sure.
