    This is the only mount in my house that I have never scored the rack on. I just got it down and put the tape to it finally after about 9-10 years :D It was/is a 2.5 yo with serious narly thick bases. I just wish it had been a Bow kill :cool: But this buck holds some special memories, Dalton was with me when he was around 8 or 9 years old. Besides it needed dusted off anyway :D Ill tell tomorrow what I came up with :)
    Me and friends thought it was 3.5 until they tooth checked it, the body was hugh to.
    Guess away..he had 2" of brow snapped off on his left.

    At first glance the number 114 came to mind, good tine length, good mass, okay mass. He looks like one heck of a 2-1/2 y.o.

    I'm gonna go 124 and some change. He has a lot of stickers off those bases. Looks like he was starting to form a droptine on his right side. Cool looking buck either way.

    Cool buck!
    I'm thinking around 120. That is a heck of a nice 2.5 for sure!

    I would say about 125...cameras can play tricks on ya a little. My buddy shot a deer this year that looked huge on camera...saw him in person , wasnt to big at all.

    Nice buck, but im also no expert ..ha..probably way off..

    If it is a 125...that would be my biggest trophy...

    Yes the Mass im sure threw some off. 5" and 5 4/8" on the H1's are definantly not the norm on a 2.5 buck. This buck IMO would be considered very top end for my area, not average. good guesses everyone :)
    EDIT: I would have loved to known what this guy would look like at 4.5 He would be a net score bummer though. My buck this year might not even make book,,,,its gonna take a very vary bad hit on net.

    Nets are for fish. :p

    Seriously, I don't even have a clue what any of mine net. Don't care.

    If they grow the bone, they get credit for it in my book. Period.

    I tell you one thing...I am not too sure of what I think of tooth aging?

    This buck has 5+ inch mass and a huge body...but is supposedly only 2.5 years old?

    I can't help but be a bit skeptical in the accuracy of that aging method from some examples I have seen lately.
