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?

i think my father shot him with a bow a couple years back....



actually the spread on the first buck looked bigger, and i believe his is a 10 pointer, but anywho, i saw the likeness

Is he a 9pt or 10pt? I just can't see but 4 points on his left side.......

If he's a 10pt, I don't think he will net 154, but he's not far from it. Very tall rack and the main beams look long. But mass is the big question..... Hard to tell in velvet.

Deffinitely not a 150" deer.
I would tend to agree and must admit that I am a little scared of the fact that you have pictures of Davidmil saved in your photo album.
