another score it
hope this is my opening day bow kill...slowly putting a plan together..
this is a middle GA buck probably 3.5 and around 180#
I am thinking high 140s pushing 150 and still has a little more growing to do..

A few years ago I let a 150 with kickers walk, regretted it for a year then killed him as a 170 with a 9 inch drop tine.
Unfortunately though I don't think I can count the times it didn't work.

we also have to make sure we don't put too much pressure on the property, for the first week or so we will only hunt afternoons..

good guess but a little low I think did u use buckscore, trophyscore or just a guess?
The one in my avatar was 142 2/8 and the trail cam buck has better tine length and a slightly wider spread so I think he is easy mid 140s.. I have killed several bucks in the area in the 180# to 200# range he has a bigger body then you think..

Its so hard to judge deer from different regions.
I know it looks like he has an extra 6ish inches in stickers and probably an extra 2 inches on each brow VS the average deer with the same size frame. That stuff adds up quick.
