Summer bucks - score guesses?

[Paul in Idaho]

I saw these guys during the summer of 2016. I've never been focused on antler size in my hunting, but seeing these bucks made me wonder where they are in the range of "big" mule deer. Any guesses on Boone & Crockett inches for these? Especially the one on the right since he was cooperative enough to give me good front and side views.

I hunted this area in 2016 and 2017. Both years, I saw smaller 4-points the evening before opening day and no legal deer during the season. Standard luck. :W:

183-185 for the guy on the right but I'm probably way off

 

[Elkmagnet]

179 gross 174 net not a lot of deductions

178 on the right. 172 in the left. So long as the left one is not missing a “g”.

Here’s three bucks that should be close to 180. Nothing beats a big mature mule deer imo. I have a tag for the unit these three bucks are in but I would guess I’m not the only one out in the hills watching them.

I’d throw my limited entry elk tag in the trash if it guaranteed my deer tag taped to the main beam of the one in the bottom picture this fall. They are a long ways off and heat waves are a biz natch but the biggest one has to be knocking on 190.

Score is a reference point. Either of those bucks would look good on the wall! Good luck!!!!

I’d guess low/mid170s gross on the right one. Would be a total swag on any other based off the pictures posted. All look pretty nice, shooters for sure in MT.

This is my guess also. And not because I was intimidated by your scraggly bear picture. ��

170’s.

 

[HalfAce]

173 on the right buck.

summer bucks

170 seems right for the first pair of bucks. Any guesses what this one measures?

Well, it's not summer but he still has some velvet.
How about this guy?

 

[Meat Whack]

The buck in the snow is a little hard to tell at those angles but he looks like he could break 190”.

 

[Stubaby]

That velvet buck in the field is bigger than 180. ESP when he’s done growing.


This thread is getting highkacked in the best of ways. Getting Good!!!

VOOMBA ..... now that's a stud.... all great pics of good looking bucks. I'm in agreement with everyone on the measurements...... that last one though, is pretty special. Keep them pics coming along with coordinates please.

Here’s one I know the score of. Also the summer version. I have the PandY score sheet if anyone wants to take a stab.
