Default What will he score

This is the biggest deer I have on film this year. Just curious what you think he'll score. Either way he is not getting shot( unless he leaves my property) I would like to see him make it for 1 or 2 more yrs before I hang him on my wall.

Only because he has the 5th point I will say upper 120's. He would be high teens otherwise.

I would agree with Darkarcher. 120-125"s. He actually looks to be 3 1/2 now but, could be better next year for sure.....

He still looks like a 2 1/2 to me. The legs are the give away for me, they look like they are too long and skinny for his body, typical trait of younger deer.

I'd say around 120", but possibly less.

I agree. 130 might even be pushing it a bit.

That's pretty close to what I was thinking. I believe this is the son of the one in my avitar that was shot 2 yrs ago about 20 yrds from where this pic was taken. He does not have the deep chest or any kind of sway back, so I'd say he is no more than 3 1/2 yrs. The one in my avitar scored 153 3/8".

I would say 110-120 his spread isn't that great and he's lacking mass. He would be better next year, but hard to pass up with a bow....

I agree with Bob_25. Probably pushing 120 and really hard to pass up with a bow... Although if you think he will make it another year or two he could be a stud!

Unless he gets poached he should make it. I wouldn't put it past the poaching thing though.

22 g1-4 right side
16 g1-3 left side
24 R&L mass combined
18 spread
18 R beam
18 L beam

=116 ish - 5 or so for the fifth point and the small g1 on the left.
He has a straight back, no saggy belly yet, I think his neck looks thick because of the way he holds his head in the pic. I'd put him at 2.5 Would love to see him in two more years. Nice buck though.

I suck at this game but i will say 120-125, just cause my biggest bow kill is very similar with fewer deductions and he is right at 125. either way if you can keep him around for a year or two he will be close to B&C, maybe?
