That I will disagree with. I am not saying I agree to shoot this deer i am just disagreeing with that number. I hunt in Tx as well and there are not many 2 buck counties that I know of that one of the deers requirements are a cull buck, spike i have heard of but the fact that it can be either or means it is more then likely a lease rule. Also if they have such rules I would assume there practicing good management techniques.
as far as score goes i would give him nearly 120 in tine length and spread alone.
people freak out when they see a narrow buck, but in reality in most cases it will never effect your score more than 4 inches on boone and crocket. will say most mature deer are 17 inches wide for example, go down to 13 or up to 21 either way 4 inches is all it will effect you. My biggest deer on the wall is 14 inches wide but scores 166 3/8 inches i don't think twice about width, sitting next to him is a 22.5 inch wide 9 point that scores almost 30 inches less.
i would agree with LIMBIC but wouldn't see a problem tacking on another 3 or so inches on the G4s and as well as maybe an inch or 2 on the G3's
I would worry about age and management and then decide whether or not you wanna make pope and young, cause he's got a shot
Good luck to you Scotty, also what part of TX is this?
