Default RE: 154" or bigger? what do think! help!

130s, low 140s??? Iiiiiiiiiii think some of you need to go back too "antler scoring school", lol. That deer is MUCH larger than 130", he would be an upper 130s if you removed his G2s! This man has some length. He is a clean 10ptr with at least 4" browtines, tho the only frontal shot is not of substantial quality, it appears to me as if his browtines are somehat "laid back" plus the buck is looking slightly upward and too the right of the camera instead of straight on or even downward. I would call him a SOLID upper 140s for sure and more than likely a low-mid 150buck. He has some TREMENDOUS tine length (except for the G1s obviously), good beam length but mass is a fooler when still in velvet. Looks to be plump and healthy as well, alert as usual and actually not old. I bet that is a VERY healthy 3.5 year old. I likewise would put him at around 18" inside. GOOD job on growing that one if you did!

He aint a giant but he is a damn nice deer and would be in awfully dangerous territory if he stepped out within 600yds of this rednecker!!!

ps
That's a "looker" buck for me, that being he isn't big enough to cause an, "OH GOD" reaction whereby I grab the gun and put him in the dirt on sight. But I would quickly size him up through the scope instead of taking the time to put binos on him and then hope he is still around long enough to get the gun up. Those that are that close enough typically ARE big enough! With a bow my only question is would I want his form in a slight sneak left or even a pedastal mount?
