[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 172464, member: 10"] The first day I saw the buck running up the hill into the stubble field I guessed him as a high 150 class buck. The morning I shot him, I believed the same thing. When I got up to the buck, I will not say there was ground shrinkage but instead deer shrinkage, for this area, the body size on this buck was very small, in fact extremely small. He was healthy, fat as a butterball turkey, just small. Live weight, under 200 lbs. The last five bucks I have taken here in Montana were all well over 250 lbs and three of them were at or over 300 lbs live weight. As such, I was judging this rack assuming the rack was on at least a 250 lb buck or larger which was the basis for my estimate. Am I disappointed, certainly not, I was a bit surpised but in no way unhappy with the buck I shot. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
