Finally got my mount back!

[wiggledastick]

Next step is going to be getting in scored. I have no idea so feel free to take a guess

[tfran123]

Looks great! Going to go with 147.

[paceman]

Awesome deer! My guess is 155. He has some serious mass!

[sticknstring]

Awesome buck! I think he'll go 150"+

[harvey lee]

Looks like the deer was well worth waiting for.

Score, has great mass, I would guess 142 net score.

Just for future reference, if you have a rack scored and it is large enough for a book, have the rack scored first. Most of the scorers will want to make sure the skull plate has not been split to gain in score so they would have to open the stitching on the top back of the skull to check.

Please update this thread when you get him scored.

156 gross, 147 6/8 net.

[Bear55]

Great buck and nice looking mount. I'd put him in the 145-155 range, great mass.

[BRULEDRIFTER]

Score: Human - 1; Buck - 0

[CANOPY SAM]

High 140's. Maybe low 150's. Gorgeous buck. Great mass. He doesn't have a ton of tine length, but he'll make up for a little of that with the palmation in his main beams. Gosh that's a nice lookin' buck!

Why didn't you have your taxidermist score the buck? They're usually happy to do this.

[pikestabber]

I was going to guess 155, perhaps a shade under.

[nonteepical]

Excellent buck. 153

[tracker x-2]

Id guess about 140

[snapcrackpop]

How about a close up of the little "junk"on the deer's left?

[eyeguy 54]

dandy! 147 3/8 is my final guess. purdy!

[ANYFISH2]

Great Buck!

I would guess 147 1/2"

[sportfish]

I would go 149

[tracker x-2]

you gonna score him and get back to us???

[benbosh]

153 5/8"

[wiggledastick]

Thanks everybody! First time getting a big one and first one to get mounted so I guess I didn't think about having the taxidermist score it. Definatly a shocker seeing him when I was hunting. I hunt north of Nashwauk in Itasca county and normally only see basket 8's and smaller bucks. Lots of wolves in our area and had 3 walk by me within 40 yards on opening day. Just gotta look online and find a person to score him.

[slimngrizzly]

Gross 157, Net...... 149

Ill be the high guy. Beautiful, dark, palamated buck!

[otterman91105]

Nice Buck.

[HooknHorns]

I think slim is close on gross and I'm not one for net scores. I would take it any season all week long. He has a Canadian look to him. Congrats.

[muskiemanAD]

He will gross near 155, who cares what he nets...

[rbs]

go on the web and get the scoring sheet...official scores don't mean dump anyways. Do it yourself it is a fun time!

[DaveT]

[Wanderer]

[laker1]

Always interested in who done the mounting?

[wiggledastick]

The taxidermist is Rick Simonson out of Coon Rapids....not sure if I can say the business name? And sorry haven't had it scored yet. Anyone live around North St. Paul and want to score it for me? Lol

[NWBuck]

go on the web and get the scoring sheet...official scores don't mean dump anyways. Do it yourself it is a fun time!

Ditto...unless you really want to see your name in ink somewhere, you can get within an inch by doing it yourself. Heck of a deer by the way...CONGRATS!!!

[jdon]

Heckuva buck! He's over 150 gross, no question probably closer to 160 gross than 150. Keep us posted on the score. Nets are for fishing...
