Went to hunt elk and got this Beauty Buck

[mercerbear]

Wow, nice buck!

I'm counting those little ring hangers to make him a 10 point!

He's a real beauty 4x4

My son and I have been chasing a great bull elk and we went in tonight to see if we could get on him which he seen him this morning but the stars did not align.
We were walking down the cut line and I spotted this guy starring at us.
I said holy **** bud shoot that deer.
He got ready and was just about to pull the trigger and he remembered that he just purchased a muzzleloader to hunt deer in November so he told me to shoot it so I put the 7 saum up and let one rip.
I knew I pulled the shot but it was still a quick death and an absolute outstanding 4x4 whitetail.
I will score him tomorrow
If he breaks 160 I think I'm going to put him on the wall. My guess is 156".

Thanks
Yeah that's how he was scored 5x5
Myself I'd call him a main frame 4x4 with junk haha.

Scored him at 164" gross

But but but neither side got credited for the 4th circumference!
On a deer with that mass, fella that adds some inches.

We only get 3 circumferences per side on a 4x4.

I would have shot him in a heartbeat as well. Great buck!
