Guys, I'm from upstate NY - not exactly the land of monster bucks. If this deerwalks by my stand the last thing I would be thinking about is what he might look like next year.

Germ, there appears to be a slope in his back because he is standing in the hole from my mineral lick.
This is a great discusion topic. I personally believe this deer is 4.5 years old at most. Im all about QDM and everything and i can pass up a 3.5 140 or even better but this deer would be my biggest deer ever.
Luckily im the ONLY person who will be able to hunt this buck (unless he travels a long distance) so most likely this year the only person that will be able to harvest this buck will be me (or anyone i bring with me to hunt). Of course theres natural causes of death, poaching and cars, but if i dont get a crack at him and he survives these other obstacles he truely could be a recordbook deer in a year or two.
Only time will tell! All i know is that hes on my list of shooters this year regardless of age

I see him as at least 4.5. Look at the slope in his back. I really don't care I would still shoot him
