    Hey guys this is my first post. Like the site a lot, good info.

    I was just curious to see what you thought the age and score of this nice buck might be. This is on my grandpa's farm and it's the biggest buck I have seen on camera on land that I can hunt. First pic he is still growing, and the second is a little blurry but it shows ya the spread. Thanks

    He's north of 150 by a bunch. As far as age, it's tough to tell, but he's definitely mature.

    Around 4.5 I think he'll go 153 and change

    I'm with everyone else. Healthy 3.5 or probably 4.5 otherwise. I'd say he's pushing 160gross but probably just shy.

    I'd rough him just short of 140" gross, giving a 17" INSIDE spread, and mans of 22 and 23" as his Right is a little longer than his left, but his NET score may drop him down below 130 as he has some asymmetry to take into account. As far as age, he looks to be good healthy mature deer, I'd assume 4.5yrs right on, as he doesn't yet have much sag behind his shoulders as you start to see above that. Definitely a deer worthy of dropping the string on by most of our standards.
