Big Gee's Bend Deer

Scored 171+

I thought James had a bunch of tattoos and body piercings?

Did he kill it with a Smith and Wesson? Seriously what a buck. Congratulations to the killer.

Hunter is a plastic surgeon from Mobile; so I guess he fixed the tatt's

Nice!

WOW

Nice

Seen a few more on outdoor alabama. First glance i thought was a 10, but it's a big 9 with 12" g2s

Heck if a buck

Heck of deer to be a 9 n score that...I mean anything 170 is a heck of a deer but...

Toad

Fine one

Full grown

Nice buck but I do not think it is 171”. I would have to see that score sheet. Sorry. Still a nice buck.

I’d say 150s but have to agree it’s not 171. Nonetheless that’s a stud

What a dandy

You'd be way off then.

Just listed what was in the Outdoor Alabama article. Guess you could call Art Powers and ask his opinion; his dogs tracked the deer. I am sure he has seen some nice ones. Good tracker, BTW .(334) 431-0884

Is that your deer? How you know?

Looks maybe 150 in that pic

...

It's a great buck, but 171" is generous.

I have a main frame 9 pt on my wall with kickers on his G2's. The G2's measure 11" & 12 " He gross scores 139.

Saw a picture of a 162 Lamar Co.11pt. killed last week & a 156 10pt.killed a few weeks ago in Lowndes Co. Mississippi near Lamar Co. line that look alot bigger than this deer.

I agree it don't look to be in the 170's.

Nice!

No, it's not my deer. Lots and lots of scoring practice and studying, sir. Try this trick for your own practice. Measure your own fingers, comparing to the gentleman's in the picture above. Then, you'll be able to get some close measurements from the antlers he is holding as you "fill out" a score-sheet on him. Of course, you'll have to do some educated guesswork in places, but you'll be able to see quickly where this deer gets his inches. We're all learning, so glad you asked. Check out the 170+ buck video just posted on Alabama Whitetail Records Facebook page. Similar frame and from video most guys would underestimate that buck. Thanks!!

I utilize the deers ears and every which a way I try it’s no where near 170. Maybe its just the picture

There’s a nice article and pictures of the buck in this month’s AWF magazine. Awesome buck!

DO NOT GOOGLE SEARCH AWF MAGAZINE AND CLICK ON AWFMAG.COM. 😱😱😱😱😨😨😨😱😱😱😱

Yep, hit the back button, quick

From that picture, it is a little blurry around the middle, I don't see any deductions and the length on those tines, off the chart. No scorer, but by what I have been seeing over the years I would say at least 181 B&C if no deductions. The light colored rack makes it look more impressive. I would say it was not a swamp deer, but more of a mix between sandy area and clay soil?

Here's the article in Outdoor Alabama:

THAT deer is WAY over 150. Long tines, long beams=high score. I bet it is 170

It’s interesting to me Troy that hunters always doubt scores when a buck of this magnitude is killed. So this Doctor, that obviously pays a lot of money to hunt where he does, just half ass guessed at the score and then Outdoor Alabama ran with it. Okay.

It’s ALABAMAWILDLIFE.ORG goober. lol

Heck of a nice deer - congrats to the hunter!
