guesing 130-135 not very good at guessing the score on a deer but what do you think the inside spread is 25, nice looking deer next year he should be realy nice.

I would say around 145-152". Probably a 3 1/2 with good genes for a 4 1/2 year old.

Less than 135, the only thing it has going is its width. Not much mass oe heighth. Nice deer dont get me wrong, but I say 3.5 yr old max.

I'm saying 146 and a 4.5 yr old.

I wish I could see him from the side, though (age-wise).

Take it with a grain of salt. I'm a complete novice at this. I'm looking at his face structure, transition in his neck to his body, and overall body mass. Also look at how wide his neck is compared to his face (and again,.....that face is no small one).

He could easily be older.

In my area, that thick neck and broad shoulders would indicate 4.5+.

I also think he will go in the 130's and be 3.5 I think he will get taller next year but I don't hink he will add much mass. Nice buck. Knowing where the buck is from would help on the age.

140-145" looks fairly old, id guess 3.5 or 4.5, maybe 5.5, notice the sagging stomach? old to me, since old around here seem's to be 2.5/3.5.
