Default Settle a bet

I got a picture of what I believe to be a very good 1 1/2 year old. I think he will be a great deer in 2 year, and a beast in 3 years. However, my buddy seems to think he is 2 1/2 year old and would go between 115" and 120". I think he is drunk. I think he is a 1 1/2 and will go between 85"-100". Take a look and settle this bet for us. Here is three pictures to give a good look. Thanks,

I am thinking he is 2 1/2. I bet in a month or 2 he will put on some weight and a little swell in his neck and look totally different.

If he is only 1 1/2 he is a stud for sure.

2 1/2 99.5% sure. His 1st year would be button buck....I doubt he'd grow 85-100" in one year, but I am not a deer Biologist, so who knows.

I would definitely say he is 2.5 years old. Will prob. score around 100 inches.

Probably 2.5 but he will only score about 90-100 inches.

I hate to be a party pooper or to burst's one's bubble ... BUT that 2 1/2 year oldbuck wouldn't score even a 100.
I shot one like that many years ago and it only scored 96 something , wasn't worth mounting so I now use the antlers for rattling.
I don't mean to be so negative , it's just my honest opinion.

1.5 years old that goes 90 - 92. Got toremember he is still in velvet. He willscore under 90 once the velvet is gone.No way he is 2.5 unless you live out in the east coast which I don't think you do. Helps to throw inwhat state your from to give us a better idea since region does play a big part on the size of deer both in body and rack.
