I downloaded the photos off the trail cams today and had a lot of buck still in velvet, but then there was this one who doesn't look too small. What do you think he will score and his age? Updated w/photo of 10 pointer walking by my stand
looks 3.5, maybe 4.5 and probably 130 range.A different rack angle would help judge score. Nice buck!
Great looking buck. He looks real healthy. I hope you get a crack at some of those Iowa monsters this year.
It's just too hard to give a semi-accurate guess without a shot of his width and seeing the base of his antlers. Looks very healthy though. Good luck to you.
Nice looking buck Mark! His end forks are fairly small, I say he goes 125" to 130" tops. Not much mass either, that tells me he's a 3.5 year old. Nice looking body on him though. Good luck with him!!
Looks like a 4.5 year old to me. Sagging belly, slight sag in the back, and the top of the shoulder to the belly appears to be the same distance as the belly to the ground. Best I can tell with the grass anyway.
After looking at the pic for some time, the mass on the antler towards the camera and the far antler, I am thinking he has a pretty good spread. I wish he'd give me a head on shot so I could see it better. Will check the trail cams again after the funeral and see if he came by again.
I agree with 3.5. Score is hard without seeing the bases or spread, but he's got great beam length and nice G2s. He could easily get to 130" with a good spread.
