High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

First glance was 72 up and 95 down. Perspective is a little weird with an upward angle on the shots. 160 is safe IMO and 7 years old

Tlew, I like your style. On another score thread you mentioned a lack of perception with nothing else in the picture to compare to and now the upward angle of the shot changes perception. I agree on both points but Ive learned that most people think we are weird to think about stuff like that. Anyway, this is good buck with plenty age(7?) and I would estimate high 50s. He looks like a real big body buck and if thats the case then everything skews a little bigger so he may grow once on the ground. My 2 cents.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

I'm still learning, and these are great for me to refine the practice. Not sure I'll ever be as good at stx or some other folks on here for measuring on the hoof

First of all...judging from pics off of a screen always make them look bigger. We need the originals to get better guesses on score. I would call him post mature and upper 150's... around 157 to 158 gross. He is a really great looking buck that lacks either main beam length or G4's length to get him into the 160's. He may look bigger with the original pics.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Side note - looks like you're feeding cotton seed.. May want to rethink that as it temporarily sterilizes bull cattle. May do same to deer and he looks like the kind you want breeding. May wanna Google it.

May wanna Google it. Proven not the case in Deer, and even cattle for most part(I fed it cattle for years. ) It’s almost impossible to get to those consumption percentages in deer anyway. The Only real down fall out side of handling is cotton seed is very light in trace minerals. So minerals still need to be feed. This is for another thread though.

Nice buck - from the one pic of this season it looks like he dropped some mass, but it could be the distance and camera angle. Still a bit north of 150.

STX2019, I just put him together again with your most recent pictures and came up exactly where I was at before
18 IS 44 Beams 33 Mass
95 Down
10 G1s 40 G2s & G3s 12 G4s 62 Up
157
Honestly, it doesn't matter if he is 148 or 162....he is mature and a great buck! I hope you get him
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Looks 7 and upper 130s to 140 to me. If this is the same buck as earlier, I'll need to go closer to my earlier estimate of 160 and say, 155". To me, this one looks a little less wide but maybe since those earlier pics were nighttime only. Still saying 6.5+ on age.
