It's hard to tell from those pics but he is a big boy. Right off I would say 140's class buck but maybe more. Velvit can make em look bigger than they are. Hope ya get him.

Very nice buck, I love those tall tines.

The angle in photos are often deceiving when it comes to scoring, Howeverwhen it is all said and done and you strip the velvet off I don't see him netting in the middle150's.

I'd like to have you pull the trigger so you can hopefully prove some of these guys wrong.

Now who stinks Manboy, hehe. Just like I said, a case of "I caught a 6lb bass" and its really a 4lb bass. Still aVERY VERYVERY nice buck, but like I said before you ever posted the pictures, I doubt it will break the state record and I would be shocked if it was bigger than 145" - 150". Im not trying to be mean and sorry if I offended you, do what makes you happy bud, pass and wait til next year if thats what you want to do. I have heard from lots of people and my buddies how they say they saw a possible record etc ... and not once did the bucks turn out to be such, one day I hope one of these will be a record, its the hope of baggin the big one that keeps some people going,

For me, its getting out, enjoying my hunting time, watching the animals, trying to outsmart them, watching my scouting plans come together when a shooter gets in range, and enjoying my life.

Good luck with whatever you decide Manboy, and thanks for posting the great pictures, that in itself is a trophy

Net? I aint talkin about net, I am talkin about gross. If he grew it, it should be counted. Net is for the books discredits many otherwise fine deer. Gross is where it is at IMHO. I could care less what a deer nets.

I still say that deer will GROSS 150s,

While I would agee with your statement "If he grew it, it should be counted" when it comes to an official record, like the one that manboy is refering to, as you know, the only thing that counts is a net score.

I guess he is around the 145" gross mark.

Looks like he is starting to get a neck on him, suppose he is around 3 years. I'm thinking after he is rubbed out, dried and scored high 120's maybe into the 130's. Another year who knows??

lol Bees, sorry man but you are CRAZY if you think that deer is even remotely only a "120-130" class animal. I have two P&Y 8ptrs, both grossed 130 and change and netted 125 and change and 127 and change. This animal DWARFS my two 8ptrs. I also have a basic 6x6 with 2 matching stickers, one from each G2. He is only 13.5" inside yet grossed 154 and change and this buck has more length easy.

I agree that he is probably a DANDY 3 year old!
