Pic-can you tell the size
I went out to check the trail cam and saw this guy out about 200 yards from us. We took the pic with her fuji s3100. We need a telophoto lens . You can tell he's a shooter for sure. Unfortunately he wasn't on the trail cam.[:@]

RE: Pic-can you tell the size
If you look very close at the picture this is a buck that should be culled. If you give me a call I would find the time to help you out before it's too late and he breeds some of your does. Seriously though this is a fine animal, expecially with growing time still to go. My quess, and I'm no expert, is 17-18 inches wide and will score in the 140's. Let's see how wrong I am.

RE: Pic-can you tell the size
The picture sucks...( I should know I take a lot of them like that) BUT.... in spite of that you can tell this is one fine animal. Mass....mass ...and there's some mass. I'd shoot him at the first opportunity(which if my luck holds would be NEVER). These boys have a way of baiting you and then disappearing once you start visiting his territory. Plan your attack well and wait until all is perfect. If it isn't, hunt somewhere else. Seeing how recurve is from Mich. where they grow 'em big... I'll give him 19-20 inches and without a point count... who knows the score. Heck, WHO CARES. Just shoot the bugger.

RE: Pic-can you tell the size
Well, I don't know. He doesn't have at least 8 points on one side, from what I can tell anyway. He won't score in the 180's, and he's not 9 1/2 years old. But, if you are into shooting "management" bucks, I guess he will do.
