RE: Want your opinions of age and score on this deer!!!
Looking at the topography (the rock) in the picture and the fact that you stated you don' see too many deer that size, I am guessing this deer resides in the eastern portion of the hill country?
If so, I am going to assume that the deer body size for that area tends to run a little smaller when compared to South Texas orthe Panhandleand certainly smaller when compared to the Midwest. Is this correct?
So based on my above assumption, I am thinking 150" give or take 5 inches.
Regardless, he is a definite shooter and mature deer, IMO. Good luck in getting him.

No idea on TX deer. They always fool me.....but I'd say 4.5 at least.
I got 159".....and I'd say I was a tad conservative. I'll go with 160".

I'll say he's a 4.5 but like Jeff said Texas deer suck aging!!!
