    An extra tape pull? Is that like adding in a measurement for a tine that broke off bc you found said broken tine after? :poke::moose:
    I’m kidding. (Not about the insider joke part) well kinda. Nice buck though!

    Haha, the tine actually wasn't broke, it was just a weird growth kicker. We had to measure with the trophy tape for the "Quest - Hunt Competition". They stretch a bit if you pull it tight enough...

    There was a guy on here who claimed he killed an 1xx” buck but included the broken tine in the measurement bc he found it. That’s what I was saying about the inside joke.

    yeah, but that's a half-ass 9, the buck in the OG pic is a legit 10. The extra points would add another 10-ish inches at least.

    I am going with mid-upper 140s, 4.5. Agree that it's tough to judge age in summer coat and only brisket-forward pic view.
    Being an IL buck it's possibly +/- 1 year of that.

    He’s a 10 point, so a couple of extra tines that’ll score over the 8’s posted. Both his 2’s & 3’s on both sides look to be a solid 10” and he has decent main beam length. Not much mass after velvet comes off, but not spindly either. I think he’ll solidly make 135 to 140.

    I think you're right on that end. As a ten, He won't bust 140" But it should be upper 130's with the G2's and 3's helping it buff.

    Total guess. 3.5 years old. 130-135. My wife tells me I've been known to be wrong a lot.
