Ontario Buck Pics

[Rick Teal]

A friend of mine caught this guy on his trailcam early last fall and spent the rest of the season trying to see him during legal hours - to no avail. We figured he must have been totally nocturnal by then.





He has a great frame, but seems to be a little light in the mass department, so I'd guess he might be on the young side with more growing to do. He has some non-symetry, so his score might not fully reflect his quality.

My buddy's sure hoping he'll be back this fall.

He looks like a deer that has more spread than main beam length and would require a eduction in potential score. Even with that, I'd guesstimate him in the 155 - 160 range.

nice buck for sure! how wide do you think he is? id sure like to see more mass and longer brow tines. he just looks young to me. he may be a awesum trophy next year!if yu get him next year yu will be happy you didnt get him this year!

Based on the way his main beams seem to curve outward again at the G4s, I wouldn't be surprised if he had an inside spread in the 28 - 29 inch range.  I based my guesstimates on the pedicels being about 4 inches apart - though from their location on his skull, that distance may even be greater.  I agree that he would be nicer with more mass.  My buddy is hoping he eludes the timber wolves this winter.

Unfortunately I won't likely be able to hunt him, since my friend's land is quite a distance from where I hunt.
