Anyway, I guess the bucks still have around 6 weeks to grow, yes? This guy is an 11 pointer, with a very typical 10 point frame. Point 11 is courtesy of a 6" drop off his left G2, and has mass to kill. He's not very wide, maybe 18", but quite tall. His G2's were pushing 11", and while I was recovering from a serious case of the shakes I rough scored him in the upper 130's to low 140's.....With time to grow....

That'll get your pump primed!

To answer your question, in a lot of areas bucks have about 4....maybe 5 weeks of growing time left. The antlers take about 3 weeks to harden and then the velvet comes off.

From what you describe on the length of tines, numberof tines, the drop and the mass......I would say you are quite low as to what he would score. I killed a 9pt last year that had ok mass, 11" g2, 19 3/8" wide and scored 153 2/8". Sounds like this bad boy is bigger.
