Maybe more antler will get more participation. These are SE Ohio bucks I got on trailcam. What's your best guess?

Damn Mike, this is much tougher IMO. Video without the ability to zoom is hard plus a lot more inches. Hell, I don't know if the last one is an 8 or a 9 pt! rotflmao

All are fully mature and deer of a lifetime caliber.

The first video shows the true definition of how mature bucks act and why they get as big as they do. I'd say he's in the low 170 range.
The second one is real tough due to being NT but I'd say 160's somewhere. I have no clue though! Could be near 180! Lol
Last one, 148-152?

Please share any harvest or still pics if ya got em afterwards! Thanks!

Most of us rarely get the chance to try to score deer of the caliber of the first 2 bucks. You guys are close on the 3rd buck. He is a main frame 9 with a split brow that I got a long look at one morning. One of the best/strangest rut hunts I have ever had. He ended up escorting a 135+" 8 point away from his doe. The 8 walked right under me. He stopped just feet short of an arrow.

The first one is way more nontypical than he appears at first glance. Nontypical inches add up fast...real fast. I think that is scaring guys away from guessing.

What kind of "twist" you do have in your water? Those are some interesting racks.

The non-typicals are near my house. GREAT genetics in that area BUT it's worse than public ground. I basically have given it up to hunt 150" deer on the property we bought. Between most of the farmers inviting everyone to hunt and a few farmers that shoot every doe that walks into their fields year round it is tough hunting.

Post a guess!!

I would but I already know, the #2 NT will fool everyone imo. An #3 is most likely spiders daddy?

1. I blow a load in my hunting pants...
2. I pass the hell out and fall from the tree...
3. I throw my purse at it!

So they score a lesson?

It was very difficult off the videos that's for sure! Lol

The middle one has a frame of a 180"er but the tine length on the right side looked messed up and shorter but a ton of bone though!

Thanks for sharing!

I looked at the videos of the first one for hours. I was able to identify almost all of the points. The mass is WOW. The spread is only 15.5". I still came up 20" short when I was trying to come up with a score from the videos.

I was way low on the second one too on the total gross. It actually nets low because of no symmetry.

The 3rd one is much easier to put a score on.

I gave the first buck a 16" inside spread and figured 170 as a 5x5. The second bucks left MB is looooooong and his frame is huge! If memory serves me correct questions were brought up if in fact this buck was CR that ran on Jesses prop or at least related to him. I'd love to see the official scoresheet of that deer! Pretty impressive!!!

Look closer at the first buck. It is 21 points. Your 170 as a 5x5 is reasonable. Add 11 more tines to that.
