Default Should I take him?

My guidelines as of the last few years has been work for for the big ones. Anything making 125 net I will take in a blink. It's not like Pope and Young deer are around every tree here in Minnesota where our gun season is in the peak of the rut.
Problem is I can't tell if he would make book or not. He has to be close but his G3 on the right looks funky. What's your take?

His G3 does look a little tweeked, but a damn fine looking animal regardless. I look for a good buck every year, and I wouldn't hesitate a bit taking him. Even with the tweeked G3; it gives him some character, and if you manage to take, you can maybe figure out why it's a little messed up. I shot a nice 8 point last year with the rifle that his whole left side looked weird, and it turned out when I got the European mount done that his whole head was actually crooked looks weird as hell, but it makes a nice conversation piece. Good luck on him, and who cares about the score if you like what you see!

I would tend to agree with the others. He is pushing 125 for sure. I would take him.

No question!He would make you and any other hunter afine trophy and I am confident that he will gross well over the 125 mark. But I am not sure he would net 125? with the short G3. But for myself? That would be a shooter never the less[&:]
