I'm never very good at guessing scores but that's a bruiser for sure.

I am not used to seeing large racks like this up here so i can't give you much of a guess.. But nice buck anyways! thanks for sharing..

A lot of peeps asking to score their deer pics lately. You need to let them get rid of the velvet to show the true mass of the horns before you can be remotely close with a score.
Velvet adds a ton of mass and can be the factor of a shooter (with velvet) or not (after they've lost it).

age is prolly 3.5 or 4.5 and i think he is a close 139

I'm guessing he'll be right around 130-135 after he peels velvet. I can't give an age because there is no side view of the body.

Cant see enough of his body for an age but that is an exceptional 140 inch
PA. 8-pt !! Pike

Sorry about that...my guess was 4.5 and low 130s...his hams look too heavy for a 3.5, I think his neck will fill in by the fall, he's also starting to show some loose skin under his muzzle, plus I think he is still going to carry considerable mass once the velvet is shed.

I have to respectfully disagree, without a question you can be remotely close with a score in velvet. After you've seen a good number of mature bucks before and after shedding you can gauge what they will be after.
