Ryans Dream Buck

[caleb]

This buck is one my buddy Ryan has been chasing, has seen him several times, always out of range. I am thinking 175 gross and was wondering what you guys thought. These are stills from some video he took.

 

[JNRBRONC]

I'd bet money on 175 gross.

I dont know I have seen some 175's posted this year and that big boy looks all of 175 and then some!!!!!

 

[lxshooter]

I would defintetly say 175 gross.

 

[sureshot]

That buck to me looks every bit of 175, and that's a conservative guess. Wow, what a monster!

I think that buck will fool you. I bet that buck will go well over 180" and will probably push 190". He's wide, has long tines, and great mass. Probably over 6" bases. Judging the body I would guess 6.5 year old. The rack looks huge dispite the bucks large body. My guess...187 5/8" Gross. Let us know the age and score once Ryan tags him. I would love to see some other views of the rack and body. A true monster. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Looks like a couple of 85 inch sheds to me!

I agree this one will gross a little better than you think. Nice! Hard to tell from the photos what's his configuration 5x5 frame with split G2's?

 

[Stump Shooter]

I'd say it's his dream buck. Mine too!

 

[DOUBLE LUNG]

Wow those are some great picture, good luck to your friend on harvesting this monarch.

 

[Baby-G]

WOW! I'll bet close to 190 gross, if he isn't. Wow!

 

[SaskGuy]

I'm with the guys who are saying more than 175. I'm thinking the high end of the 180's, big buck!!!

 

[caleb]

The buck actually has a 5x4 main frame with split G2's and two small droptines off the right beam. They are about an inch each. I wanted to be super conservative with the initial score, my gut instinct was that he would go near 180-185. Ryan is a die hard bowhunter and kills one or two P&Y's a year. But he has never seen anything like this. The real heartbreaker is that he does not care about gun hunting so he never gets muzzleloader tags. He was bowhunting during our muzzleloader season (legal in Ill) and had him at 90 yards! Also had him at 60 yards last night. I will keep you posted.

 

[kbgibby]

From the side he looks 170, but when he turns head-on --- WOW! I'm guessing 190-range.

 

[MNHunter]

What a dandy!!!

 

[kansasbowhunter]

I like the way you think Ghost!!!!!

 

[Skully]

That would have been some shakey video if it were me behind the camera! My land, he's a hog! I'd say mid to high 180's easy. Good luck wrapping a tag around that one.

 

[WKP - Todd]

He's bigger than 175"! What a pig!

 

[Must_Hunt]

I would guess that the buck has 175" covered pretty easily. It is too bad that Ryan doesn't gun hunt at all, I have a muzzle loader tag and I am willing to travel to help him get it on the ground so we could all find out for sure!!!!

Just kidding, great buck good luck on getting a crack at him.
