No shot on this guy

[IdahoElk]

Today was the opener of Deer in my neck of Idaho. 5 miles in 1500' up and 7 degree temps but it was worth it!
Didn't feel good about trying a shot so I'll go back to look for him another day.
What would this guy score?

I hear you! That's a 20x zoom on my camera and my rifle is a 2-8x and was set on 4 in all the excitement,all I could see through my scope was his neck and head,for some reason at the time I felt it was too risky? I also need to practice a lot more on the range,I get that. Hunting with a recurve for 30yrs makes you think everything is too far,ha!

This guy was in a isolated basin and he has friends just as impressive,I'll do better next time!

That’s a stud! Big eyeguards, deep back forks with matching kickers and solid fronts. Gotta be close to 190 for sure.
Hope you get another chance at him soon. He’s a shooter no doubt.

Gorgeous deer, hope you can an opportunity to measure him and tell us how big he is!

 

[Muley Buck]

That's a stud! Hope you get back on him!

 

[Teaman1]

Amazing deer

 

[ReddingArcher]

Wooooweee that’s a great buck! Man I hope you’re able to connect on him.

Score? That buck would score a spot on my wall! What a stud.
Good job on holding off on the shot if not comfortable. Not sure how far but he looked far. Did you range him? Nothing but a neck shot is risky at best. Esp at distance.
But this is the slide and everyone can shoot the ass off a gnat at 800 yds in a 25mph cross wind.

Gorgeous buck. Throat, cheaters, width, he's got it all.
