Will he break 30”?

Founder · Jul 22, 2020

Whatcha’ think? Wide buck, but that’s all he’s got going as far as antlers. BUT, if you’re looking for plenty of meat, there you go. He’s a load!! Not sure one backpack trip out would do it.

Who’d take him 6 miles in?

txhunter58 · Jul 22, 2020

No, not 30”. But yes, I would take him

Orion_23 · Jul 22, 2020

Brahman bullfight antlers. Nice find!!

yoteduster · Jul 22, 2020

He's big bodied for sure but I don't think he'll go 30" inside spread

Orion_23 · Jul 22, 2020

Bull with. Who needs spellcheck.

Shadow · Jul 22, 2020

I think he’ll break 30. And 300.

Deepcolor · Jul 22, 2020

I don’t know if this is the same buck but that chest fat looks familiar.

Gunnihunter · Jul 22, 2020

Looks like he has a tumor. Great buck otherwise. He might end up 30” outside.

Homer · Jul 22, 2020

yes on 30.....outside

CFMuley · Jul 22, 2020

I feel like he’s going to be just shy of 30.

elkassassin · Jul 22, 2020

He Ain't 30"!

Archbull · Jul 22, 2020

29 7/8

RINK · Jul 22, 2020

If you zoom in on his chest, looks like an old wound.. Maybe a broadhead??

DoubleDropMuley · Jul 22, 2020

IMO he’ll break 30” slightly, and yup I’m shooting!!!

BIGJOHNT · Jul 22, 2020

Stick a big 2 by 4 in his horns and you’ll have a pretty good chance to stretch him out to 30. ???

@Deepcolor again thinking he knows where someone hunts ??

ridgetops · Jul 23, 2020

I'm thinking in the 28-29" range.

atrietch · Jul 23, 2020

28" but those ears on the old bucks tend to vary so much that I hold no confidence in my guess.

Muleman1 · Jul 23, 2020

29 15/16 lol

Giddyup · Jul 23, 2020

No way he’s 30, nice buck tho

SDBugler · Jul 23, 2020

He is a big bodied deer, that's for sure!
I would guess 29.5". He is about identical in width to this one you found back in 2016.

Swartz · Jul 23, 2020

I think he's right on 30 wide. Huge body and ears to match.

hornkiller · Jul 23, 2020

Those high country bucks in wy tend to be bigger in the head ears and body compared to the ut pisscutter bucks.
I would say when he is done growing he will hit 30" yup im shooting!

Cahunter805 · Jul 23, 2020

He looks to have a little flare going on with his backs so I’d say 30 by the time he’s done! Very cool buck Brian!

Deerlove · Jul 23, 2020

I just love a mature fat deer, I wish they all looked like that.

wweaver79 · Jul 23, 2020

What a buck yes I think right 30”. Very heavy fully mature buck for sure, at his peak or near.

HalfAce · Jul 23, 2020

Sweet find! Those brick shithouse bucks are deceiving. Probably 24”+ ears and hes still flaring out on his left and growing a cheater on the right. I don’t doubt he’ll be 30+.

He’s a toad in my book. Ide be planning my hunt around him.

Founder · Jul 23, 2020

Side views. He’s got width, but he forgot to grow big deep forks.

junior · Jul 23, 2020

Close to 30, and 6 miles in would have me scratching my head, and certainly cooling off the trigger finger if solo.

DoubleDropMuley · Jul 23, 2020

I’d say the buck at 2:49 in your video needs to be watched!!!!

SanPitch · Jul 23, 2020

I like to not think about the pack out until he’s down which puts me in some pretty bad situations! I think he’ll be just shy of 30 but he might make it

Tristate · Jul 23, 2020

No. Won't make 30. Great deer though.

rachele39 · Jul 23, 2020

Any guesstimates on this guy? Kinda thin but wished I had a tag.

BeDawg · Jul 23, 2020

Makes 30 definitely

elkassassin · Jul 24, 2020

If Some of You ever see a 40" Buck You'll be Swearin 50"!

HiMtnHntr · Jul 24, 2020

6 miles?! Think I'd want to have a little help with that one. He's a tank! 30? Maybe, maybe not, but I'm shootin.

ICMDEER · Jul 25, 2020

If his right G3 lays way out and you measure him diagonally, he might make 30. But who cares. And sure, you shoot them where they are. If you like him, try for him. I'd probably try for him.

huntindad4 · Jul 25, 2020

Not gonna be 30 if you ask me. But big deer for sure. I would probably shoot him if there were no reasonable chance at a better buck. But first couple days....pass.

nripepi · Jul 25, 2020

He isn't going to get to 30 on his front side (main beam or G4), but man it will be close on his G2s in the back, he flares wide on the one with the single side and his other G2 is going to continue to grow outward as well. I think he will end up over 29, but not quite 30. I am going with 29.5.

pushin_30 · Jul 28, 2020

28-29"

perfect numbers from "pushin_30".....lol

fullthrottle · Jul 28, 2020

Going to be 30 1/8 outside imo. Guess we will see when you smoke him on the 15th. Sweet buck.

nontypical · Jul 30, 2020

He's a tank. Huge bodied buck. He might surprise you when you put a tape on him. He's over 30, IMO.

downhill · Jul 30, 2020

This buck just looks big all over, body and ears. Looking at the mass and the size of the deer I think he will crack it. Would be nice to see him next to another deer just for reference cause I’ve been fooled both ways by different size’s of deer.

HIcountryman · Jul 31, 2020

I think I d pass after seeing the side view.

HIcountryman · Jul 31, 2020

30" outside probably. big ol buck with some wide ears

diablo · Jul 31, 2020

30ish, yes. But not a shooter - crappy forks.

Hunterturbo · Aug 8, 2020

Founder,
You know as well as anyone, If you have to ask, most likely not 30"
I believe he is 28.5/29, just not 30. When they are a legitimate 30", no one questions it, he is just wide. Best of luck to you this year.

hossblur · Aug 8, 2020

That deer has boobs.

Of course I m pulling the trigger.

Then I m whining, crying, puking getting him out.

But a year later, all hunters get amnesia(like your wife does after a kid).

Thyroid issue?
