138" to 140". G1's are nice. G2's and G3's are average. His beams are super long and he's got a 20" spread I bet. 16" H measurements. He should be close!

I have seen him from the stand once. My neighbor shot him once bowhunting...hit him too far back but he is going to be ok.And I almost hit him at night with my truck twice after he was shot! lol. I think is is somewhere around 23" inside.

I don't think he's far from being 140. I think you should take him either way.
He's the buck you would regret not shooting when you don't see anything the rest of the season.(been there. done that.)

Velvet makes it tough to judge.. he has the potential for 140, but i think it comes down to tine length and mass after that velvet is gone. And I have a deer on the wall with a 21" inside spread, but his main beams dont come near as close to each other as this deer. I would also put his inside spread at 23-24", he definately looks wider than my 21", he might even hit 25". If you are 90% or better sure that he is only 3.5, and if you have less than 300 acres of land I would take him in a heartbeat. By your question im assuming you are managing for some serious horn porn. Whether or not to shoot this deer is definately relevant to your hunting situation. Everyone doesn't hunt the same areas, and definately don't see the same quality deer as everyone else in the country so the decision has to be completely based on YOUR judgement and area rules if applicable.
