    I have an opinion on this deer, but was wondering what you guys think. It is hard to tell from this picture, but he has a 5 x 5 frame with a split g2 on the right side and he has two brow tines on the left side. He looks more like a 4 x 4 with matching crab claws. What do you think age and score are?

    From what I can see in this pic I don't think he would go real high, maybe 135. I think he is probably a 4yr old.

    We must all think alike because I agree with you both except I think he may be more like 3+. Really nice one though!

    I agree with the score, thinking 3 years old. Lot of potential there.

    I hate to post when I don't have a different opinion to offer but I agree with you all... he's definitely in the 130's and I'd put him at 3.5.

    Agree with 3.5-4.5 yo. A lot of potential, that's a really nice deer.

    Deer is at least 4. Cool looking rack, but doesn't look terribly long, tough to tell without a view of the full rack.

    I'll be the desenting low score from what i see, I'm thinking 130 maybe even a bit less. I'd love to be wrong, put him down and let us know! Good luck

    I don't think at first glance. He walks the edge of those beans usually coming back to bed at first light and then leaves in the middle of the night to go feed. I think I posted the (2) best pics I have of him. He is the third biggest walking that trail. I wish the one below was walking it at first light like he is:

    From that last picture of him I think he hits 140 and is 4 1/2 years old.

    I picture him being bigger than my 121 and change from last year by atleast 15inches....I put him around 136-145 gross. Age I think along the same lines either 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 this season.

    4.5 ish, I don't see the main length on this buck or enough mass to push it past 140... but it will be banging on the door.

    Agreeing with the herd, from the additional pics, upping my guesstimate to the130s.
