Default Will this guy make 200"?

Filmed through the spotting scope. Will this Mulie reach that magic 200 inches? This is supposed to be a 1 min video so if it doesn't work I will try again.

Velvet is very misleading for me...And I'm not a pro at scoring to begin with
I'd say yes he would....and I'd shoot him in a heartbeat

Hey Huntin - It works for me - just click on the image and you should be able to view the video on Photobucket, hope you can view it.

Nice buck , but the weak backs are working against him ..Gotta have the whole package to make 200 . Next year ? Maybe , but I think they will always be too shallow .

Judging by the back fork I would say he will have a tough time breaking 170". Mind you, I can't watch the video

I vote to ground-check him!
200 is just a number. Anyone should be happy to hang that thing on the wall.

I would watch the vid again bro. I dont think it will make 200 either , but its a far cry above 160.

This deer vvvvvvvvv is 173 net and is in no way in the same class as the one in the vid

Weak back forks though.

i doubt 200, because of what most ppl have mentioned already, the shallow back forks. he is ultra-wide though! i would think hes 180-190ish gross. the mass carries out very far. either way, he's a cranker! now we just need some field pics!

Close in width but not in tine length. Nice deer and once the velvet has gone, is there a reason to hold fire?

I think he will gross over 200 , and net just around 190. I would take the shot if I had the chance, he is 30" wide and that's Magic! his beam length makes up for his week tops.
just my two cents. I would love to know where is ? good Luck.

Net definitely not......Gross, well.... if you ad the extra's and he assume he gets his spread credit....I think some of you boys might be surprised. Different looks , get there different ways...

Once the velvet is off I'd say 180-185 max. Good buck though with great fronts!

No; I don't think he would break the 200 mark...very nice buck tho; a little weak on the backs (as has been pointed out quite apparently) or else he would be close to the mark...

I shot one in 202 a few years back that was quite similar. Grossed 197. His front forks are deep enough to help.

Im with potty, he won't net it by a bunch but a total gross score with all his junk added will be aweful close.

Awesome buck and a shooter for sure but not a 200" buck...
