    131 I like Fieldgoal. Got one about the same on our farm, scored him on Buckscore and he's at 139. Velvet makes it tough.

    Thanks for the guesses guys. First set of pictures I got I was thinking that his frame was decieving and that he would be in the mid teens range, but after looking over the new pictures I started figuring that he was better than I thought. My latest guess was right at 129-1/2" gross score.

    As far as the nicknames, I really like "Field Goal, Pitchfork, Fingers, and Marvin Gaye" so far.

    The scrape was built a week and a half ago. I figured that I wanted to get the scrape up earlier than I normally would, and I wanted to add something to get them even more territorial so I placed 40lbs of corn out and then went to work on the scrape.

    I cleared the ground and put a few drops of Wildlife Research Center Active Scrape in them...

    And then I added BuckBomb Scrape Generator strips to the limbs. They are moisture activated scent wicks that have Buck Fever Synthetic Forehead Gland scent.

    I always say, who cares about the score when you have a BIG framed animal like that! He is very nice. I would go with Pitch Fork!
    Again, nice pics and deer!

    I'm getting 130 on the dot.
    When you posted the 1st pics of him I originally thought 125 but everyone was going lowwer so i knocked it to high teens, these pics are a lot better. I think he'll go 125-130. Velvet is tough to judge shrinkage.

    I'm with Rybo on this one. That deer looks 10-15" bigger in the new pictures. I tacked on another inch to every G-measurement, as well as IS, BeamR & BeamL. I also put another 2" on each side's total H measurement, which puts him squarely at 130. He may even go over that. He's a big buck.

    He's going to be right at 125", give or take 3" either way.

    He's not very tall. But it looks like he has everything else! Good luck with him.

    Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. I am looking forward to some hard horn pics of him. The velvet is getting pretty thin on some of the deer here and they usually start shedding in the next two weeks.
