ND Mike I like your background.

cdavis thanks! I was going to show the other shoulder mount with droptine but my wife shot that one. I hunted him for 3 years and the first year she hunts with me she dumps him!

ND Mike well at least it was in the family and not across the fence.

ND Mike I would still like to see a picture.

cdavis that is true. I’d rather have it on our wall.
-
cdavis it has two complete 4 point main beams on the right side and the big drop. The left side is a typical 5 point that if it had both sides like that it would probably score around 150-155 ish.

cdavis that looks awesome with that Devildog on the wall in the background.
-
That’s a keeper. Nice hunt

ND Mike that is an awesome buck. I can see why you really wanted this one. Have you had it scored. Looks like it would gross score around 170s.

GWG8541 that’s my niece. She’s a keeper.

cdavis don’t know how I missed this reply! Yeah he was a brute! We actually harvested another buck that was related to him as it had a rack very similar. Had it scored a long time ago and they admitted they didn’t really score it correctly. It wasn’t a Boone and Crockett scorer. It does have a ton of bone though! Mine was pretty typical. He went 156! My brother has a monster that was well over 180 gross. I like gross score. Give them credit for what they grow!

Jonathon Nice looking hats

ND Mike I’m with you gross score only. Why would you subtract from what they grew
. Makes no sense to me. 
. My best gross scored 193. -

bocephus I agree with you 100%. I’m proud of everyone I ever harvested. No matter how small. When I was younger that meat got me through some pretty rough times.

That sounds pretty consistent for weight on a healthy mature whitetail buck in this part of the midwest as well. Mature being one that survives to 3 1/2 years and beyond.
The further North the whitetail deer live, the heavier the mature weight seems to trend.
