Backyard 9 point

[gimmewoodsorgimmedeath]

I have been hunting on the same land for 15 years and never had an idea it could produce a buck of this caliber. The biggest buck I have seen killed nearby was a tight-racked(16" inside) 140 class 10 pointer that my cousin killed a few years ago. This year I found alot of really big rubs.... and then in February I got these pictures of my dream buck. I have estimated a rough gross score and age but I am interested to see what some of yall think? Age? Score?

That's a good looking buck. I would guess him at 3 1/2 yrs old and will gross mid 120's to 130.

[Jim Thompson]

width is amazing!

[TenPtr]

Great looking deer.

Age- 3.5 or 4.5
Spread: 21"
Gross: 140"

[THREEJAYS]

Thats a fine one

[RackNBeardOutdoors]

I say around 140

[BOWHUNTER!]

That buck is gonna make a huge jump in size this year..not that he needs it. Nice one.

[S Adams]

[Hunter Haven]

good buck!! would like to see pics of him next year...

[Arrow3]

Thats a great buck!

[gimmewoodsorgimmedeath]

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I am definitely excited about this fall. I was thinking he was around 135-140" and maybe 4.5 yrs. Despite 20+ hours of looking in the last 2 weeks I have been unable to find his sheds..... or any others for that matter.

[miller]

Goodness, that's a big deer.

[bonehead-rm]

my guess would be 3 yr old and about 130-b.c

[satchmo]

That is a nice buck.

[Bruz]

I would say 3.5,130" and Wiiiide........My biggest concern would be the Bigfoot critter behind the pine tree to the right. :)

I'd go 3 1/2 (maybe 4 1/2+) and mid- to upper 130's gross.

Good luck finding his sheds and better luck finding HIM next season!

Can I ask what that is glowing in the background? Looks like two big eyes looking aournd a tree? :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[bowbuck]

Nice buck, I came up with around 138 gross. I would shoot him in a minute. Hope you find his sheds and him next year.

[J HESTER]

That is great buck.

[clearview]

That's a real nice buck. I'd say 3.5 yrs old, around 125" to 130". Hope you get a chance at him this coming deer season, he'll definitly be bigger.

I have heard that Moultrie camera are famous for copying the eyes in pictures to a different area. These pictures were taken with a Moultrie. It definitely had me wondering the first time I saw them in an image though.

I'll do with David on that one.

[NorthGaBowhunter]

My uncle told me his does that. You can see the "phantom eyes" move with the deer.

Picture one.....eyes on either side of the tree.
Picture two.....deer's head moves left (our right) "phantom eyes" move accordingly
Picture three.....deer only has one eye showing, thus only one reflection.....only one "phantom eye".


Sorry Big Foot conspirators. :whip::bounce:

[backyard buck]

i wish my backyard bucks were that big :)

[chuckb7718]

If the ghost eyes in pic 1 hadn't been explained, I would NEVER have stepped foot in those woods again! And I mean day OR night!!:hair:

[Meriwether_Stalker22]

My oppinion is he'll be a keeper for sure this year..........he was already a nice 130 to maybe 140....but if you keep feeding.....he'll be nice.:bounce:

[huntmstr]

C'mon... It's gotta be a sasquatch!

[brownhounds]
