mighteywhitehunter Report post Posted February 27 I would concur my buck is definitely not the oldest buck in the desert, not the youngest either. That is always the tough part of hunting, I have eaten tag soup waiting for a giant that I never found but I have also had an itchy trigger finger and killed a smaller deer early in the season that I regretted. Life is about choices and when you make them you have to be able to accept the results of those decisions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markleo21377 Report post Posted March 1 Here is one of 6 giants we were on in the desert in January. What do you think he scores? I am pretty confident I know based on time we filmed him and I had him chase doe by me at 55 yards but couldn’t stop him. IMG_0508.mov 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creed Report post Posted March 1 Big enough to shoot for sure! I’ll put him in the mid-high180s without being able to get a good look at him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adicted Report post Posted March 1 Agree. 180 ish. Solid for sure. Good job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chef Report post Posted March 2 He'd be pushing 190" if his left fronts matched his right side. Love his backs...Beautiful buck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creed Report post Posted March 2 I found this guy a couple of days before the season opened last year. Never found him again. He’s a similar buck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markleo21377 Report post Posted March 2 Honestly, I think he goes 190” and I know how much it takes to get there. His beams are so long and mass was like beer cans at bases and carried all the way. He even has 3-4” brows!! Crazy that he is that big on a terrible drought year. Hope he makes it and I can find him in December 🤞 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
