    Just wondering your thoughts on this guy. He is the biggest resident deer on this farm but to me he looks young. I know if he walks in front of anyone in my area he is a dead deer just curious about what you guys think his age and approximate score would be.

    Mid 120’s, 2 or 3 year old. Don’t know the genetics in your area.

    Here he would be a solid 3 1/2 and possibly 4 1/2. I'd put him in the 130's as well carries nice mass, great brows and G2's.

    Sad to know he isn't gonna survive if he walks by someone during daylight. Genetics in the area are a good mix. There have been some absolute giants on camera in the last 5 years here that just ghost come season. It's a great area but a lot of hunters.

    3.5 or a great genetics 2.5. I’d say 130-135. He would be hard for me to pass these days. I actually rattled one in similar to him last year. Rack was a little smaller but carried mass just like this buck. But when I saw that the big doe he was with had the same size body I just couldn’t do it.
