RE: Trail Cam pic - Age and Score?
I have to laugh guys, there is no .5 right now, in the fall he'll have a half year on him but right now, noper. He's either 3 or 4 but not 3.5/4.5.
[8D] I tend to agree with Matt/PA. He'll finish in the 130's with at most an 18" spread. He's only as wide as his ears. Shoot him and prove us wrong.

Without looking at the other responses I jumped right down to the fast reply........my guesse would be a good 2.5 year old WHEN THE SEASON STARTS. It is a stretch but I dont think that deer is all that old!

I seem to be lower then everyone else on the score of him. Right now I think he's in that 115" to 120" range. He'll be close to books when done growing. He looks to have a 17" or so spread, maybe a tad wider as well. 3.5 year old I think as well.
Like I said I'm lower then everyone else so maybe I'm off and not seeing what the rest of you are but I'm sticking with my guns![8D]
Good luck Jack with him if you decide to take a crack at him.

I love guessing....and I agree on the 3 yr old part.
What I'm not seeing is 130"+. Not skeptical.....just don't see it. The trail cam photos on my 8 pointer (who was not this big.....but I only use for overall reference) appeared larger in velvet at the same time of year (mid July) than he actually taped out in November.
I think he's a 120's deer right now.....and "maybe" a 130"......but i just don't see him scoring much higher than 130" from what I'm seeing.
I also hope I'm WRONG!

Well, I am familiar with deer in your/our area , and I would say 3 year old is good. Spread I'm going to put at 18 or a little over, and gross might make 130, but when it is all said and done I don't think he will make P&Y, even though it would be touch and go... Another year, and no problem, he is a little light on mass also. But I would still shoot him, he's pretty nice.
