Well if that's not a tine on his right side, making him an 8 then 118". If not his g3's are really offsetting.

I got him right at 115 GROSS, he's got great mass, just not much on beam and tine length, and he's not very wide. If he's a good buck for your area, let him have it, in my area, he'd get a free pass from a lot of guys. But he's certainly a nice deer with some potential. Next year, if there is one, he may very well be a P&Y quality buck.

I don't know, but I'm field dressing him and hoping he weighs at least 140 pounds, hopefully 150.

Guys,
Upon further inspection, I have to agree with those who said this buck is a 5x4, that IS his left G2, not a branch from the felled tree limb!


Here is a close up with some filters added for better discrimination:
