    I would guess him to be close to 4 - 4 1/2
    if his left side matched the right he is probably gonna push 140s
    it is really hard to tell with that pic though
    he seems to have a heavy body and good mass which I think is critical to the score on a 8 or 9 point buck

    Solid buck KY! I went back out last night and the same group of bucks were back in this little thicket that I'm sure is their summer bedroom. I'm sure that'll change before season opens when the velvet drops and beans brown but I'm def going to keep tabs on these deer. The big guy doesn't have the most impressive rack but I'd kill him in a heartbeat. Still high 40's-Low 50's imo. Took some pics with my camera last night but they turned out crappy and I forgot the card at home before I came to work, so it'll be sunday before I can post anything.

    Super pumped for tomorrow ! Checking some cameras on a new farm that I have permission to hunt , 400 + acres but the problem is it's mostly wooded with no trails through the entire place ! Just a big block of woods but there are crops surrounding the area ..... Have had the cameras on a 21 day soak and now it's time to sneak in and check a few!

    Well todays camera check went better then I was planning ! Seen two good bucks on hoof and well lets just say the camera's were full of bucks that I would not have a problem with putting my tag on ! Around 400 pictures of deer hitting the mineral's in 21 days and about 70% of the pictures were daytime activity , and actually very little doe activity witch surprised me .. Hopefully some of these bucks hang around. But here's a "few" of the bucks I found on my camera .. Enjoy

    Guys. I really think we have a solid team. And I'm not just saying that.

    Thanks I really hope I can see any of these bucks during the hunting season ! Only problem is I think there's quite a bit of hunting pressure here to but we will see what I can make happen ! I'm so pumped for deer season it's insane haha i can't wait to see what the year will bring and I think we've got a good team here !

    Walked out to the near by farm field the other day and saw a buck with what looked to be a drop tine! Hoping I can pull him over for bow season!!!

    Here's a clean 10 I've been watching in the fields also, he's short tined, wide, and has great mass..... just don't think he's what I'm looking for. The clean 10 runs around with a 125" 9 pt, 135" 8 pt, and the big guy from above. I guessing that bigger 5 yr old will push high 40's low 50's.
