^same buck both pics, different angles^

mom snapped these pictures in the clover plot in the backyard 300 feet from our backdoor while i was hunting our bottoms a half mile away

Before I even looked at any replies I was gonna say around 150 for a score. I'm also guessing that this was taken last year as he's out of velvet so he should go higher this year.

I always just glance and throw a number out. That's how your suppose to do it so you get practice for the field lol. Hes in the high 150's easily and he even looks pretty wide maybe 160.

i have some 500 acres of heaven surrounding my house here in IL, river bottom ground and high crop fields...i have spotted 7 boone and crocketts this summer, but no pics sorry, and this one was a lucky beast because where the buck was standing when the second pic was taken is 8 yards from an elevated blind...8 YARDS!!!!!! haha oh well he and his buddies should be on the ground this year
