    A lot of guys on this Forum are great at guessing the age of a buck and what he will score. This is a buck I call Full House. I think he has a lot more growing to do. My guess on age is 3.5-4 years old. No clue on the score. So, how old do you guys think this guy is and what will he score?I tried to post a pic of him from every angle. Your input is greatly appreciated!

    Guessing 3 and 130 ish. Next year if he lives he should but on some more mass. Nice deer, especially for these parts.

    I to think he is in the 3 year old range. His belly still turns up sharply at the rear leg and a fairly straight back. He doesn't have a lot of mass yet and short brow tines will hurt his score. I think he would be a mid 130's buck. I love big 8 pts.

    Straight back, no belly sag. I think he'll be 4 this may/June so around 3.5 now. He's lacking mass but had nice tine length. May be the picture angles but I'd say low 140s ( he's almost got it all. Tine length, good beams and nice spread. Just needs some more mass). I think he will show some good improvement this year. Jump from 3-4 is usually when they explode.

    He's worked his *** off all fall and winter and has lost some weight. I say 4 1/2 years old and 139 7/8" gross. Stud 8 point.

    I agree with you age guess but for score I would put him at a solid 130-135.

    Mid to high 130's but you know with that split G2 he isn't going to make book. I wouldn't care he is a solid buck.

    That's a stud of a 8 point. Should put on some mass and be a real dandy next year. Feed him as much protein as you can. :p I'd say he is 140's

    since we are talking a N.C or southern deer judging by the body and face I would say 4.5 high 130 to low 140 because he is an 8pt.. also looks like the G2 and 3 on the left side share a common base...

    I was wondering about that. So are you saying that he wouldn't go as a main frame 8 with his left side only having 3 typical tines?

    The tine splits above the main beam it's not a G3. It's considered a non typical point and works against the score. I find it wrong but it's the way it is.

    low 130's because of mass, he looks 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 right before the age the mass picks up.

    That sucks. Still a shooter in my book though.

    I'm just not seeing 4.5 or 5.5. No bowed back or sagging belly like you'd traditionally see in a buck that age.
