Age and Score - 11/19/15 02:10 PM

Whats the opinion on this buck? I had him coming in last year and he just showed up again on camera these last few days.

Definitely the hoss around these parts. I'm thinking he's 4.5 and possibly 120-125. Thoughts?

Need better pics of body, but strictly from those I'd say at least 4.5 and I think your about right on the score. Good luck!

119-122 on score and I still think 4.5 He could be 5.5, or maaaaybe 3.5. Do you have pics from last year?

Mature and 130 give or take an inch and more over 130. He long curvy tines that hide length. He probably had lost some weight last year judging by the size of that hole in his leg. He was really rutted down due to that injury. On first impression I called him 6 and then even thought 7. To much muscle mass in the body, neck, shoulders and brisket to be any younger than 5 IMO. I would shoot him as mature and not think twice about it. Nice buck and good luck cheers

Yeah, that hole in his leg was from my no shootin [censored]. lol

Tried freehand at 150yds and shot low. Just glad he's doing fine.

Thanks guys.

I came up with 121, score him and let's see how close we were. As for age, I first thought 4.5 and will stick with that.

Those long tines add up and should put the score in the upper 120s. I am torn on the age as he has a strange stance with that arched back and looks mature in all but 1 pic. Congratulations to your son on a fantastic deer.
