110"-115". looks like a 2.5 yr old unless it is a woods buck on public land. then he might be a 3.5 yr old? pass him up and let someone else cull him for you.
Definitely between 110 and 120 since this post was in December of the past season if he made it, from his progression it looks like his spread was growing and if you have a good growth spring plenty of food source he could add a good bit this year. I'd take him this year if he strikes your fancy just my Opinion. Good Luck!!
If its a 2yrold it would be a smaller version of it. For sure 3. But anyways i think he greens 106 107
wait a minute!! I was really looking closer at these pictures. when this buck was 2.5 in his pic he was a main frame 10pt. his g3 on the rt side is broken off and looked to be a decent size tine according to the base where it broke. and his g2 on the rt and the g3 on the left have decent tine length. quite a bit longer than the two pics above when the deer is older. I am starting to think that all these pics are different bucks that are within the same gene pool. they all score roughly the same. if anything the pic when the deer was 4.5 actually looks a bit smaller then when the deer was 2.5. and when the deer hit 4.5 he is a main frame 8pt as far as I can tell. at best the 2.5 and the 3.5 are the same but I'm not totally convinced that they are either. there should be some significant size difference from 2.5 to 4.5 and I'm not seeing it not even in the body structure. even a cull buck should have some differences after a few years. not getting smaller at 4.5 yrs. I think this is a trick question!!! lol
I doubt its the same deer but as for the score 107 to 110...no more. Like one other person on her this deer should not have went backwards, as it appears he did in pictures, in size. That is the reason I don't think it is the same deer.
105-115 I dont know where these pics were taken and some of you guys calling this just a cull buck. But here in Vermont that would be considered a Way Above Average buck and into the Trophy Buck column LOL
i love the 'its not worth it posts"... if he's small by your areas standards why not get him out of the way... why kill the massive 12 point and leave a lesser buck to populate next years herd... this is how ranches get their 160-200 score deer... i realize its impossible (or nearly) to do on public land but in my state over the last 20 years up until a few years ago they had a 'let the spikes pass" policy and now we're all paying for it... sure there are some nice ones (this pic would be a great deer) a deer i saw at the weigh station this past season would be a prime example of a 'pass' buck...breaks my heart to see a 1.5 year deer on the scale with 8 points on his rack (no i dont know his actual age but 8pt deer here typically run 160-200 pounds and he was healthy looking and scaled 110, a typical 1.5 year weight for here) the deer i got this past season looks a little thicker than this one with a little less spread, 8pts/172lb and is a flat out monster to me... biggest ive ever got... maybe i got lucky i think, but then again i hunt for the freezer first, trophy second...
