Want your opinion on this buck.

I know the pic is blurry, I have a few others of him, but not onmy work computer.hes patterned like clockwork. I let him go last year obviously, he was an 8pt maybe 16"wide. Had some junk on his brow's that split. If I had to score him last year on the hoof, i'd guess 120's which is not big enough for my area. I shot a much bigger one later.

Question is,
1. How much more do you think he will grow this year?
2. Would you tag him if you had the chance and were hunting SE PA?
3. How old do you think he is?

Here is what I know, not much[8D]
From 3.5 to 4.5 a whitetail buck will grow the most.
If the buck below is 120'' I bet he will be 140-150'' buck

King is this PA or MD?

Also if I draw an Elk tag this year, which I freaking better! This is a pic I got at my cabin in Elk County last weekend. Talk about being pumped up now!

It's hard to tell from the picture how old he is. One of the main ways I tell a deers age is from his brisket and his hind quarters, both of which aren't fully visible from this angle.

I don't see where rack size has anything to do with your choice to shoot or not.

Maturity is the new goal, Hows he act around your friends? Does he make crud remarks when hot does are around? The pull my hoof stuff can really be embarrassing.

This is PA, i have 2 pics at home on the computer from MD of 2 bucks that makes this one look tiny. Thats why I am so pumped for Sept 15th!

Being you're the new king 98%

Any chance we can see the MD pictures?

If he was 120 last year, I would expect he would be mid 130's-low 140's this year, of course depending on his genetics and available food. As for his age, only a guess as the only thing I have to judge buy is belly and back, but my guess would 3.5. I have never hunted PA, but from what I hear, a mid 130's is a pretty good buck. My goal every year is 140 or better (but there has been a lot of low 130's that have fooled me), I would say this buck has a decent chance of taking one of my arrows.

I will try. When I am at home I have a million things going on, and being I work on the computer all day I barely ever want to go in the office. I will send ya something.
