What do you think he'll score??

Hello fellow bowhunters. We are new to this forum, but look forward to all the information and posts. We just bought a Stealth camera and we have a buck from last year coming in and we want to know what he will score this year. His rack has really grown, we think anyway. I am going to try to post a picture of him last year and then this year with my camera and the Stealth. Thanks in advance for any opinions.
The picture from November '08 is far away because we just moved in and saw him within the first week of living here. This year's pictures are better because we are settled in and have trimmed the brush so as to get better and closer pictures.
The first picture is Nov. '08, the 2nd is him from the stealth on the 10th of August, the 3rd is him on July 21st and the last is him from my dining room window on the 11th of August. He grew quite a bit in those 3 weeks!

The recent ones were taken on the 9th at 7:30pm in the rain and fog.

I couldn't believe it...so I ran the numbers 3X. I came up with 115, 116 and 117" gross in those 3 tries.

I honestly think he looks bigger.

He's a nice deer, but the thing that hurts him is he's got shorter points. Nice buck tho!

That's why we wanted some opinions, we got around 119 too. He looks so much better than that, but I guess he isn't. I told my husband I would shoot him on a hunt out West. I guess maybe I would be fined for thinking he would be at least 130. Oh well. He is a beauty though. Thanks.

He is an awesome buck for our area and if he passes beneath us, we will definitely take a shot at him. He would be my first deer with my Mathews DXT!

I got 124 by the last pic only.

20" main beams, 18" spread, short tines. Nice buck!
