A lot of peeps asking to score their deer pics lately. You need to let them get rid of the velvet to show the true mass of the horns before you can be remotely close with a score.
Velvet adds a ton of mass and can be the factor of a shooter (with velvet) or not (after they've lost it).

Sorry about that...my guess was 4.5 and low 130s...his hams look too heavy for a 3.5, I think his neck will fill in by the fall, he's also starting to show some loose skin under his muzzle, plus I think he is still going to carry considerable mass once the velvet is shed.

I have to respectfully disagree, without a question you can be remotely close with a score in velvet. After you've seen a good number of mature bucks before and after shedding you can gauge what they will be after.
