To the masters who can score deer…can you tell me what he might score? He lives in an area that is closed to hunting but might be open next year….or so I was told! I had an encounter with him after an evening of fishing this past fall!
He looks like a 5 x 4 with a sticker off his right G2!
Thanks guys!
That is a really nice buck 
I would say that deer would go between 155-165 
It’s hard to tell because you can’t get a good look at the right side, but looking at the mass and the tine length on the left that is my guess 
What do you think for age?? 5.5
I would say about 5.5 or so! He has definately been living the high life! The first thing that caught my eye when I first saw him this past fall was his body mass! Then after getting these pictures it confirmed it…he is a toad!
That’s a stud alright! I would not even care what he scores!
Just wanted to make sure he was a shooter! 
One more picture! 
Gross he pushes Booner. This buck is a STUD. I gross him pushing 170″es.
Dartkoski, I would let him pass. There are those bucks you just see & know without question that he is a shooter, no matter how many points, etc. This is that buck. 
His left side G2 & G3 are pushing 12″ with a G4 about 10″. 19″ mass each side and Main Beams about 25″. I hope I meet his Cousin in ND this weekend!
Dartkoski, let me know if you need Help shooting him 
Oh you know I will! I hope they allow hunting there next year! I may have to make some calls this off season!
Is that area EAB, I might as well shoot a doe now and get hat out of the way.
155 gross.
it looks like a long non-typ point off the left G2 also.
neighborhood of 165 gross, with net about low 150’s.(typ)
I agree with Rob, if this guy steps out, there is NO question if it is a shooter or not. You may hunt 10 more years to see another deer of this caliber or longer.
Jack..
Amazing photographs of a stud animal!!
I’m with Lip, with 10 scorable points this deer will definitely push close to 170″ or a little more, with all that mass! AWESOME looking animal There is one way that I’d pass on this deer though….if my son was sitting next to me with a gun/bow, I’d let him shoot it 
I agree – I say it would gross in the high 160’s. So he should be a booner next fall! 
gross high 160s. That last pic is simply awesome.
I would say 170ish…..main beams look AT LEAST 25″……
I got a chance to score a 190 gross this year WOW what a buck. I think you guys are underestimating this one Im going to be conservative and say 180. just my guess. sure would like to get my hands on him for a measure though
Im in the 150 range befor I add any circumfrences and that thing looks fairly heavy. again my opinion
Awesome animal – 162 gross.
It looks to me that his left side is a typical 4 not 5 and what looks like the G3 is actually an extra point coming off of the G2 about 3 inches up….either way I refer to antlers in gross inches so it all counts in my book
Here is my green score guess:
Spread 18.5
MB 24.5 x 2
Right: —————— Left:
G1=6 —————— G1=5.5
G2=10.5 ————– G2=11.5
G3=7 —————— G3=8.5
x=2.5 —————— x=7
H1=6 —————— H1=6
H2=5 —————— H2=5
H3=5 —————— H3=5
H4=4 —————— H4=4
Gross score = 166
It is always fun to guess but I always say: There is only one way to tell for sure! 
Good luck Dartman, hope you get a chance to hunt him
Thanks guys for all your input…but unfortunately we may never know how big he really is. 
I just got word that this area will be allowed to be hunted…during the 9 day gun season next year….shot gun only….ANTLERLESS ONLY! 
So he will continue to live the high life and be the king of the forest! Maybe this spring I’ll go and look for his sheds!?

That buck is a stud!!!! He’s definitely the bull of his woods…..I’d say he’s pushing 175″ gross. Good luck if you ever do get to hunt him!!!
thats a good one! My guess is gross high in the 170area, looks like some good tine lenghth and mains.
Awesome buck and awesome pics, you can not hunt him but you got the next best thing some great pics!
How far away were you, what kind of camera do you have?
a friend of mine’s Grandpa shot a Monster 8 pt buck years ago and left it in his shed for the mice to eat away on. it now sits in Coppertops basement and it would easily score in the mid 150’s. this thing looks a little bigger and w/ the extra tine off of the LG2 my guess would be in the mid 160’s. either way he’s a stud and would look great on the wall
Steve – I was not able to get the picture of him..it was a local resident that was able to take the pictures! Either way, I’m excited to get pictures of him!
wow
Lake Wissota State Park Bucks, here is another one. They are there every year. Big ones get shot on the outskirts every season. Yes it will be antlerless only.
