That buck is around 110 to 115 as a 9 point. if you are right, when a real 140 shows up it is going to look HUGE in comparison. how about this one?

I would guess mid to upper 120's and 4 yo, maybe even younger as the hocks are still pretty light colored. I would definitely pass on him as he looks to have great potential.

3rd buck 3.5 mid 130s a future stud very good! that's one I ground checked, my 2012 Kansas buck. he was 3.5 and rough green was 143" and dry official was 141". However, with the severe and tight wrap he fools everyone. He looks like a 130" deer, even the official scorer with it in his hands guessed mid-130's before he measured. why did I arrow him? best deer we had on camera and it was my largest at the time. we were also getting the property ready to sell and that deer plus the bigger one my mom shot helped the value tremendously.

Here are pics of Buck #2, I agree he's not over 125, but this is 1st year on a long term management plan and there are 170 genetics in the area. Do you think this buck is 4.5+ (maybe 5.5) and needs to be culled out? My mom is hunting opening of rifle next Saturday and this would be a great buck for her if he's not going to get much bigger.

Rob, he sure looks 4.5-5.5 to me in those photos, nice heavy antler too. It's your Mom man, I say let her take him, I doubt she will do much to change the mechanics on your place, for the thrill she will get

I think that 9 point is old enough to shoot. He's got a huge body and looks mature to me. I doubt he's going to get much better as far as antlers are concerned.

I don't think hes young at all he seems to have a solid mature body. now for antlers my personal minimums are 130-140 for 8-point. He appears to be a 9, but mainframe 10 and I just don't seem him in that 140-150 range. I think he's a mature 130 inch deer that probably has a couple years improvement. if he's a little older and bigger in person, it may be a good deer for my mom. First time I've seen anyone post about having a minimum for a certain number of mainframe points. What are your standards for 10 and 12 pointers?

What are your standards for 10 and 12 pointers? up there into the 150 range. it really depends though more on maturity, a 135 8-point > 135 10-12 point IMHO.
