16 pointer

[Ridgewalker]

My 19 year old nephew tagged a 16 pointer last weekend. It's all down hill from there for him!

Real nice rack. Excellent trophy.:thumbsup:

Wow. That's a hog! Any idea how old this buck might be?

 

[Ridgewalker]

His dad thinks it's a 3 or 4 year old. It came off his older brothers farm near Ellington, MO which is an area not normally known for racks that large. It's all hardwoods there, national forest, etc.

Nice to see that level of quality in a free ranging buck!!!!

Congratulations to your nephew.

What does he score?

[Ridgewalker]

I am still waiting to hear the score. It would be a record in my book.

I have read that when a buck reaches the age of 4 years they become so smart that only 1 of 100 hunters that hunts him will ever see him. I believe that to be true.

Impressive deer, but I'm also impressed how you guys can score these racks just from pics.....:thumbsup:.....that's quite a talent in itself

You must be one heck-of-a-hunter NYBirdman.......maybe you should be NYDeerman......

I can't, but I've met enough guys out there who can look at an animal and tell you within five inches of what it will score.

I hunted in Africa and shot ten animals, my buddy shot twelve. Except for the zebra and leopard, he was within an inch of what each animal was before we shot it.

I have a taxidermy shop as a neighbor...I get to see a lot of large racks,always been interested in scores.I have yet to shoot one that big!

Well, sounds like you have the right neighbor.....Good luck on finding that big one, and work for him....:thumbsup:

I am afraid I would crap my pants if something like that showed up while hunting

Congrats! That's an amazing trophy and you are right, what will the poor guy do with the rest of his life?

 

[RobertBrown]

That is a Fine whitetail. Hope he got to spread his genes around before he met your bullet.
