there is no prize for correct answers because he is still on the hoof. He has elluded me for another year. 
But hopefully he'll make it through the summer

I put him at 146' with 8 more for the drop tine.
Not bad for around here. I've got a picture from last year that i think is him. I cant say for sure because hes broken on his right side. He's a shooter no doubt and the drop makes him special. I passed a shit ton of bucks this year looking for a really good buck but I never saw one that that did it for me. Maybe next year I'll see this guy. It would really be nice to get a crack at him in bow season. |

How much does an average buck weigh where you are at with the guts out?[/quote] About half of what a deer up there weighs. Actually it varies wildly between my hunting spots. On 2 of my leases mature bucks will go about 200 pounds (good soil, lower deer nombers). On my other lease I shot a buck last year that I aged at 3 or 4 and it was barely 150 on the hoof. The soil there is sandy and won't grow anything but pine trees but it is loaded with deer. Niether have any agriculture but cotton within driving distance. ETA both weights are live weight. |
