I don't usually guess but I am going to say 5.5 or 6.5. I would put him on my wall.

I think he's not a young deer but he's not an old fart either. 4.5-5.5 125 plus. Considering that the legs of your feeder r three ft apart I'd say spread is in the ball park or 16-18 inches.

He's a great mature buck but weak on his G1's & G4's another year ain't going to hurt him but I don't see him jumping too much more. I'd have a hard time not harvesting this one, great buck.

maybe 5.5 yo pushing low 140's Great deer.. give him another year to see his 4's will grow a little. That main frame 8 w/ a split 2 looks like a good big cull though. Nice bucks

5.5 I would let him go if you can. If you don't have much pressure around I would wait him out and see what he does. He might put on his best rack at 7or8.5

Your right.. But I would be willing to take a chance to see what he will become with one more year on him. We had a buck we saw multiple times for 3 years and it was tempting when he was a 4yo... Main frame 10 with split brows about a 150" with tons of mass... He made it to 5yo when dad killed him and scored over 160"

I would put this buck in the low 140's and a 7 yr old. He will show his age better in a month or so.

I'd shoot him now or let my 8 yr old son...that's a hard deer to pass on.Nice mass, his main beams are a little short maybe 20 in...short brows and 4's,but still a mid to upper 130s buck ! I was thinking he was 4 yr old...but stxranchman could be right. He knows those deer down there good it seems.

He's low 140's and 4 or 5. I'd lean to 4. But I don't see him improving a lot if u had a good wet year this year. Won't hurt to pass him if u've got other deer that need to go first.
