I run a feeder and gamecam 10 yds from my front door to get pics of the neighborhood deer. This year we have 9 bucks and 7 does hitting it pretty regular.
This is the biggest buck.

P&Y or B&C, I don't know much about scoring antlers, but that is one bruiser of a buck with a huge rack that doesn't live behind a high fence! :eek:
Mike -
Looks like he's been feeding well off those Parker County peaches.
Upper 130 to lower 140
He has great brow tines hope you get a crack at him soon.Good luck
I thing he's in the mid to upper 140's. Can't tell much about the mass, BUT LOOK AT THOSE BROW TINES!!!!!!!
My Guess
Beams - 48"
Mass - 26"
Width - 17"
G-1's - 16"
G-2's - 18"
G-3's - 13"
G-4's - 2"
Total - 140"
Green I would say right around 150"s. Great brows and hard to tell on mass, but I would give him the benefit of the doubt and say very close to 150"s. Great deer! G-2's are 20"s and brows are all of 16"s. He is a shooter in my book! Shawn
142 is my guess TJ is real close with what he thinks every thing is........
I'm with Ben, upper 130's to 140.
That would make a lot of handles and overlays for sure! :thumbsup:
I dont see a g4 on the right side.Do you have any side pictures?
Or is this a trick question and you allready know :archer:
Upper 130's
Would have gone a little more if the bases were obviously larger than his eyes.
Big enough!! I love those brow tines - he's beautiful!
The thing about Tx is,deer bodies are of different sizes from different parts of the state.Which will throw you off when judging horn size.I took a deer very simular to this one with half the brow tines a few years back in East Tx.It scored 133 and something with no deducks and weight was 167 feathers and all.So I am saying mid 130s to 140.Neighborhood deer usually eat better.Nice deer for sure.
I am going to say around 144"

What Whip said! Nice buck!
I think he rates the designation of the coveted "triple really" award -- as in: He is really, really, really big!!!!!
Too Large for Trad Gang :readit:
Please re-size, I wanna see! :pray:
Nope we don't hunt these deer. We just enjoy them being here. I guessed him at close to 150 when I first saw him. He runs with a big 8 that is near 140.
We had a near 170 buck out here a few years back but he got hit by a car.

What they said....nice one!!
Can't tell if he has 2 g-4s. I would say around 140 for sure. Those extra long eye guards may push him closer to 150. A big boy for sure.
I am with ben as well. Brows may push him close to 140! Let us know! Dandy buck my friend!
I'm going with 144"
150 if hes an Inch :readit:
Well, I stink at accurate judgin, but he's big nuff I wouldn't worry about score when he shows!
I'd go with the 150 mark. I know you don't hunt them but Mike you better not let Rusty see those pics...
He definately needs to do some breeding in the neighborhood, with everybody out there having a feeder in their front yard I'd imagine the herd is pretty healthy this year.
135
132
I think TJ hit it about right. Nice deer for sure.
Well Mike I know nothing about Texas deer, but if I saw him here in N Idaho I'd shoot him in a heartbeat just to get an accurate measurement. I'd guess in the high 140's.
I enjoyed following along on your elk hunt again this season...it was the toughest year I've ever had during archery season for elk this year as far as number of critters seen.
Travis
I think he scores high enough to go buy some infra red goggles and find out for sure. :saywhat:
Pushing 150. :dunno:
Dont care in the slightest about measurements. Its a nice looking buck, thats all that matters to me.
Beautiful animal. Not a lot of mass. I think 140 probably is really close.
Don't get me wrong. If this buck showed up while I was hunting the only way I pass him up is high.
Here at home the girls (Connie and Jason's wife) like having the deer around and every morning we go get the card and see who's been by the day before while we have breakfast.
Mike
His hoofs look kind of small :biglaugh:
He's big enough that I would kick my own a$$ after buck fever made me choke on the shot.
130 to 140
I'd say around 140. It's hard to say without a side picture, though.
Mid to high 140's. If you were in my area I'd say you might as well get him before somebody else does. You can always watch the others grow.
OK guys, try this. Use the picture as a ref. This is a north TX deer whic could be bigger then the S. Texas deer.... that being said:
1. Deers ears are about 6" long from where
they meet the head..
2. The eye socket on a mature deer is
roughly 1.25" across
These are solid measurements.... This deer is likely a bit smaller in body size due to genetics so these measurements should "give" him a bit.
Now go back to the pic and take a piece of paper, put it up on the pic and mark off the length of HIS RIGHT ear. Thats 6" now go for your measurements. The mass looks to be at 1.25-1.50 at the bases and seems to go out gradually..
I figured his inside spread at between 18 and 20"
But as TJ said he looks like a 9pt. I would like to see his right beam...
Bet he's right around 142. Good lookin deer
Mike, if he is giving you problems like eating your plants and such, just give me a call and I will come up and rid you of the problem!
That is a bruiser for sure!
Bisch
low to mid 140s thats my guess I hope you know the answer to the question.I would like to see more pics.
he's a nice one, but lacks mass to make 150's . id say 145. he has real good length on everything. keep an eye on that one,next year he'll ad mass id bet.
He'd likely gross in the 140's. Great looking deer.

Mike that is a Texas buck, He will go at least 110 before deductions.... :bigsmyl:
I'll say Mike is on at 150, That is my origonal take and He sees the deer up close and personal so it seems like a safe bet. final answer 150. Ish
He sure is a beaut.
God bless you all, Steve
Beautiful buck no matter what the score. Mid 140s my guess.
a shooter for sure! around that 140 mark. a side profile would better..
I would love to provide him a new home in my freezer and on my wall. Very good deer.
