    I just checked my camera again today and had pics of this big buck. This would probably be the biggest buck ever killed where I hunt and I can't believe he's gotten this big without someone shooting him. I'm hoping someone could estimate his score and age. Thanks.

    100"+ (without breaking it down)

    I dunno what the average body size is for the deer in your area, but, I would lean towards 2.5yo Solid genetics, though.

    That looks like a stud of a 2-1/2 year old, I'd say he'd score around 115". It probably only has a 12-14" inside spread, has the potential of being a monster in a few years!!

    My thoughts exactly.

    I had trail cam photos of a nice, moderately wide 10pt as a 2.5yo back a few years. He wasnt anything special, but, you could just tell that he would eventually blow up into a beast. Well, this year he was taken by a bowhunter in October. He scored just under 160" and DRESSED out at 242lbs...Beating the NJ weight record by 2lbs....
