I'm pretty sure I know this buck from years past but can't tell for sure until I can see his legs. He has distinctive white markings on his front legs. If its him he's easily 6.5-7.5 but this buck doesn't look particularly old to me. I sketched in his rack because it was really hard to see also I can post the original pic if needed. Thanks

He's kind of an odd buck. Four seasons of pics and his rack has never changed hardly at all. Would have killed him a long time ago but he's been busted up every year.

Body looks like a older buck, but his face looks like a younger buck. I'd put him at 5 based on body size

I shoot him just cause I never seen a multi colored rack like that. Probably get some type of prize from the boys down in Freer for a buck with red, white and yellow antlers.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

I would age that buck at 8+ from that one pic. He is post mature and shows it.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Finally got a better pic and I'm pleasantly surprised with the tine length this old guy put on. What do you think he scores? I was thinking the 125-130 range

Right around 130 give or take an inch.

Very cool buck. Tine length is incredible and his brows are unique they sort of swirl and turn out. I think these guys are spot on I would say he would squeak into the low 130s. Looks to be around 3& 1/2 or 4 to me. Not too old. from a different view you might get a better idea. Great luck hunting that brute.

Looks like he's on the slide to me. Old deer. Has the belly of mature deer but most all body mass and muscle has been lost. No shoulder mass, hips looks weak and back legs look fragile. He'll need a wheelchair soon. It's time to
