    Either a 3.5 y/o or a 10 pointer. I always say my best guess at age, I occasionally mention the points. I never volunteer score unless asked.

    Pretty hard to score them on the hoof. Some unusual characteristic will usually earn the buck a nickname if he’s a regular.

    10 point - Not really worried about the score to be honest.

    It's a 10 pointer from me. Not really big on aging deer or scoring that much. Generally when I speak about deer to other people I will describe a big buck as a big X pointer.

    If it's not worth shooting, it's not worth talking about;)

    10 point and if it's someone that hunts, the score is usually brought up at some point. I have a buddy that thinks every deer he sees is at least 3.5 so I always shy away from using age because it's ridiculously annoying.

    Wait we are talking about a buck on a trail cam? Then I don't use any of those words I never share trail cam pics of a buck before or during hunting season.

    I would show them a pic from my phone. Other than that I would call it a 10 pointer. If they ask how big I'd tell them 136".
