    I am pretty sure I saw this deer last year following a doe but was about 175 yards from me. I grunted and tried everything in my toolbox but he only had one thing on his mind. He was no where near this big last year but when I pulled my trail cam card this year I about stroked. Where I'm from a 120 inch deer is a big deer. Most people will shoot a 1.5 basket rack deer because they say the neighbor will kill it if they don't. I have been hunting this deer pretty hard this year so far just based on where I think he is bedding. This picture is from a video that was in July. I have not seen or had this deer on camera anymore since then but I keep saying to myself he is here it's just a matter of time. What do you think this deer will score and his age. I am guessing 3.5 to 4 year old deer. I was thinking he would score around 140-150 inch. I may be way off but that's what you all are for.

    The scary thing is....he's probably 3.5. Not a big belly or swayed back youd start seeing in a 4.5yo, but MAN! Given the opportunity, id settle the pin and squeeze before i could consider passing him haha. He is a true monster. I think 150" is the minimum gross score, but thats pure guess, the velvet makes it harder to get a true sense of his mass, but id still feel confident saying 150" is a reasonable guess. Hoping for some good luck and that you get a crack at him!

    Thanks! I just hope to get a look at him in person. I wouldn't mind getting another pic or video of him either.

    I'd agree on the 3 1/2. As far as score, 150 is probably a good place to start.
    Yes, I would have to take a shot if the opportunity presented itself.

    Hes not more then 4 years old. I would guess him to score around 145. Nice buck.

    I'd say 3-4yrs old but would need to be invited to hunt the big guy to really get a closer look.

    Wow, did he escape from a farm? Incredible rack.

    This is a Tennessee deer. I have not seen a deer like this around here before. Like I said, I would just like to see him in the woods in person. I know he is around just hoping he makes a mistake. Been seeing several smaller bucks and a ton of does just not this big boy. Thanks for all the replies. I'll keep u updated if I see or get any more pics.
