This guy won't show up during daylight but I was curious to see what everyone thought his age and score was. Thanks!
He may only be 3.5 and has a ton of potential but for him to show up repeatedly on 9 acres I don't think I could let him pass.
Thats a great buck, I could not pass on him unless he had a broken tine. Looks 4 1/2 and around 160".
This ^^^ 3.5s are usually shorter and blockier in body where he is longer. 4.5... they start to lengthen out in body and lose the blocky appearance. Also even as pressured as the deer are here... 3.5 year olds normally aren't nocturnal where a 4.5 can be. Would love to see a picture of him next year if he makes it. He will be a beast !!! He is a great buck now and I know I wouldn't let him walk. Tim
Thanks everyone, whether he is 3.5 or 4.5 he's on the list and if he shows himself and presents a shot, I'm taking it. Best mock scrape action we've ever had on our 9 acres! Plenty of other bucks too but this guy stuck out.
I'm liking these 160" estimates. My goal is 3.5 year old and older and I really don't have an antler size goal but over 120" seems to be a good benchmark. Over 150" is probably a lifetime goal so seeing that he would likely exceed 150" is exciting!
He looks to be 3 1/2 and I'm thinking prolly around 140". Use his roughly 6" long ears as a gauge, he's not a 150" or 160" buck, but he's still a beaut!
If this deer dies and doesn't gross over 150 I will mail you a $20 bill. (given he doesn't break anything off)
