Another look...can see the points a little better. Taken through a Zeiss T65 23X spotter at about 600 meters.

Re: Milk River Whitetail Buck
4 1/2 maybe...would like to see him in two years.
My friend holds up a Whitetail Buck I killed many years ago on the Powder River in SE Montana...this buck was aged at 9 1/2. Oldest Whitetail Buck I've ever killed. 11X9.

Save my slot for 2 years out. ;-)
Let me know what it'll take to hide him for 26 months ;-)

Re: Milk River Whitetail Buck
That is a great looking buck. I don't think I could pass on a buck like that. Any estimates as to what he might score? My best to date was 150 class 10 point.

Re: Milk River Whitetail Buck
I would guess 140ish...eye guards are short and he could use some more mass. Nice frame, probably 19" wide.
The 11X9 scored 185 B&C.
Nothing wrong with a 150" 5X5!!

Re: Milk River Whitetail Buck
150 in any configuration would make a hell of a trophy.
Nice buck PSG

Re: Milk River Whitetail Buck
That is a nice deer. I would agree on 4 1/2 yrs, his body shape is not that of a 6 yr old.
He'll be a beauty in a couple more and if he is in a place where I thought he was "safe", I'd let him walk and take the chance I would see him again another day.

PGS, did you have this one officially measured? It is hard to guesstimate a score, but it is worth checking to see if it would make the B&C book for a non-typical whitetail.
Very unusual and especially nice to take such an old one.
Thanks for sharing both photos.
Good hunting.

Re: Milk River Whitetail Buck
Jeff, Thanks! I had that buck scored years ago...I had to dig around to find the score sheet. It went 185 4/8 B&C. At the time the minimum for non-typical was 190. I never did enter it when they dropped the minimum score. I took the buck on November 18th, 1981.

Re: Milk River Whitetail Buck
shit a trophy around here is anything with 8 points since everybody shoots anything with horns.....Hardly see bucks older than 2 years. But the does thats a diff story. WNC needs to change its regs to one buck a season and offer more doe days to take care of the population of does. I bet the buck to doe ratio is 1/3 here if not worse

Re: Milk River Whitetail Buck
Both are great looking bucks. I will be hunting the Milk River this Nov for the first time for mulies and can not wait. I was in Glasgow many years ago for a baseball regional tournament and still remember seeing some big deer then the pics you posted will make it even harder to wait until I get there. Thanks for sharing

Re: Milk River Whitetail Buck
i figure the first buck is 4 1/2. when do you harvist them? we shot our mature bucks at 4 1/2 so he would be fair game.
