abkeenan Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Have to agree with Calwood here. He would be lucky to hit 120. Just doesn't have enough tines to come close to 140+. None the less its a very nice deer for Southern Missouri/Northern Arkansas. Start planting corn and food plots then draining half of Table Rock per year to water those fields and maybe you will get your 150,160,170+ class bucks with 300lb bodies. Some selfish fisherman might be opposed to that plan.
Quillback Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Here's another shot, he just would not let me get in front. Heckuva nice day.
Bill Babler Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I believe that deer will push 130 here are a couple I have hanging at the lodge and they were Pope And Young measured by a certified scorer. 126 inch 10 point 142 inch 8 point 133 inch Non-Typical 23 point 172-122-162 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Members Calwood kid Posted August 21, 2013 Members Posted August 21, 2013 I don't think those were Brows. Looks like he has nubbins for brows or just short 3 inchers. I still say the tall tines near the bottom of the beams are brows. They look to be over 8" each, and he just forks up top. From my experience that looks like a deer well past prime. In the 2nd, and especially 3rd photos, you can see his ears pinned back to his head, which is probably the confusion on the brows. Most deer pin their ears back during a swim, much like they do when they're at a full run. Still say its a 120" 6 point. But if he were on my callaway county farm he'd be illegal to shoot due to the point restriction. But he is the epitome of a management buck. I say shoot. Easier to ask forgiveness than permission sometimes
mjk86 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Show off! Ive got that many big bucks too....but me being the ethical hunter I am choose to practice catch and release.

Members Calwood kid Posted August 21, 2013 Members Posted August 21, 2013 Trying to upload a few pics of a few of mine between 130-175. Can you upload from an iPhone?
Members troller Posted August 22, 2013 Members Posted August 22, 2013 Minimal brow tines if any at all and he almost appears past prime. You must have been getting close. He's really pushing a wake keep that distance between you. Great Pics.
