    Really nice buck skywalker!!

    I'm going to agree with the 5 1/2. I'm going to say he is in the 160 range. With out a good pic of width I'm guessing 18" wide. Probably conservative though.

    This is only one I have built a data base for us to store all our trail pics. And this is this years deer. I know body size belly sag and lenght of nose are factors also. Didn't think of the area deer are from to consider body size difference from were I come from. I'm open to learn more I might even let some walk that should have needed harvested.
    Thanks

    He could be 3.5 or 4.5 but I think the score estimate is close. In west MI, he would be a brute and definitely would be getting an arrow sent from the Prime Rival.

    Still has that somewhat stretch racehorse look without fully developed brisket and shoulders typical of 4 or 5. Zero sag and everything seems tight.

    I suspect he's a little older, but if he's a 3 1/2 then he will bee a true giant next year.

    Sorry I was responding to Gator. I actually think the one you shared is 4.5....either way I'm slinging an arrow.

    The nice thing is in past 6 yrs we have taken out 98% of the small basket racks and our younger bucks look a lot better. And for a laugh if u look really hard a buddy of mine said his nuts are not fully developed lmao
