    Hmmm, I'm guessing him at 4 years and 140's. Sometimes there isn't much of a bump in inches from 3-4 but may gain 20+ inches next year. He's a beauty any way you look at him. If he makes you happy is what counts...he's old enough so depends on how he strikes you when you see him in person.

    That's a nice buck regardless of his width (in my book) and he looks mature to me. :)

    Nothing wrong with him 140'S is good for anybody. I have a deer that looks just like that real tall but not real wide but that's one of the ones I want to put on my wall this year.

    Not overly wide but still a very nice buck. I would have a hard time passing him. It would depend on how much mass he loses with the velvet.

    When you say he is not wide enough, is that because of some restriction in your area? or just not for your own tastes? Some bucks just never get width, but they get height.

    Some deer genetically just don't go wide...or tall...or thick depending. I would let him have it for sure though to be honest.

    What do you feed those deer? "Towers" would be a good name.
