    Looks at least 4. I would need to see more body pictures. My score guess is upper 150's. The one side is a lot weaker than the other.They don't look as nice out of velvet. I wouldn't pass :biggun:

    No kidding. If that's borderline, let's see your shooters.

    Only way that's not a shooter is if he lives in a fence

    As big as his body is in that first pic for this time of year, I'm thinking 4.5 - 5.5... I'd cull him out of the herd just because of his genetics. ;)

    I would name him 99%.
    That's the percentage of hunters that would shoot the crap out of him!

    I think you should post the pictures and not pictures of the pictures, it would be more clear and easier to see, but that's just me being anal. I would not consider that borderline, in my neck of the woods that is a shooter without question. Maybe you should name it "Border Patrol" since you think it's on the border of being a shooter lol.

    I'd take him. 140ish 3.5 but not older than 4.5

    Remember they always look huge in velvet. Experts say it adds like 20%

    I don't name deer...... I shoot them.

    For me, he's a shooter.


    Probably in his 4th year.

    His name is "Lefty"...he told me telepathically
    For me I have shot several 100-130" bucks, but nothing bigger...so he gets shot
    When I have shot several 130-150" bucks I'll let a buck like this walk so I can increase my odds of shooting a 150+ deer

    Awesome deer Shane! I'd guess 4 1/2 & he's going to be pushing 160" He's a stud for sure! Good luck

    Since you think he is borderline shooter, perhaps you should name him Junior. :tu:
