Never good at scoring, but the brows on that first one are incredible.

Top deer close to 150.
Bottom deer close to 160.

Velvet always makes em look bigger. I cannot zoom in well on bottom one but both are over 130...neither break 150

The top deer is at least a 3.5 yr old. I found both sides of his sheds this spring and he was around my place all year. Hopefully he hangs around again. The bottom deer I have no history with but he has 12 points. I know they look bigger with velvet on but they should be getting close to being hard antlered. Anyhow I think they are pretty nice deer for mostly public land. I would probably shoot either one if the opportunity arises.

130 to 140. Needs 1 to 2 years to get into 160's. My big 10 scored 161 and 168 total.

I'd guess 140 and 150 gross. I'd be happy to shoot either one.

140 and 160 both shooters for most sane people around here

140 and 150 gross...and plenty big to shoot, IMO... I agree with 140 & 150 gross. For public land they are beautiful specimens. I hope you get a chance at either one. Stick em |

That foreground in picture 2 looks terribly rocky.
I might be concerned about a ricochet with a pass-through or a miss.
Incredible antlers to me.
I've been hunting Indiana whitetail for more than 40 years and I have never seen antlers that big in the wild.
I would shoot either given the opportunity.

Top one low 140's, bottom one high 140's would be my guess

I've been hunting Indiana whitetail for more than 40 years and I have never seen antlers that big in the wild. I would shoot either given the opportunity. It is extremely rocky and hilly were I live. That spot in the 2nd pic is in a big cove and there is a natural mineral seep out of the side of the hill. The seep is about 12 feet wide and runs downhill about 30 yards to a small ditch. It stays constantly wet and muddy. I agree both of those deer are very nice in my book. I have been hunting Indiana for 36 years and have never killed one over 140". So I think either one of those would top anything I ever killed let alone seen while hunting. I just was just curious to what they might score. |

I have high hopes for the upcoming season.
I have hunted the same small 15 acres for the past 12 or so years.
Last year I hunted my own property for the first time, and took the largest antlered deer I've ever harvested. (9 pointer)
There are 4 of us that hunt this property, but it is a much better location than my previous 15 acres.
I still have permission to hunt the 15 acres, and will take advantage of that allowance, but I am really looking forward to my second year hunting MY property.

I would put top buck slightly higher in score pushing 150's and the lower buck close to 140 ish.
