Any idea on a rough score??

Definately around 160 or more. This is a canadian buck and has a very large body I bet. It is either a 10 or 12. If a 10 he has long brow tine. Real long main beam either way, and im guessin a nice spread. Good luck!!

He's a good buck but not a 160. Once the velvet comes off he'll be a 140 class deer. The velvet and the angle his head is at makes his size deceptive.
He would defintly suffer from "ground shrinkage", if you were hoping for a 160.

Impossible to say with any certainty from just a lateral view,but he could easily have 130 inches of bone. Give him 18 inches of spread,and you'd be pushing 150. Not much more than that IMHO......

Not to be rude but I'm curious how many people posting have actually seen a 160"+ buck?
I cant tell how many points this buck has. If hes an 8 pointer he will break 150" gross. I could put him into the high 150's- low 160's if he is a 10 pointer or bigger. He has long main beams, awesome mass which you can tell by comparing his base to the size of his eye in the picture. I'm going to guess he has 5 1/2" bases. The buck has everything it takes to break into the 150+ range.

Here is an 8 pointer that we killed last year. Even though he had a SHORT G3, he still grossed 155". Looking at the trail cam pictures that we had of this buck (none of them really good) we put him at 148" tops. I was in for a big suprise when I walked up on this buck. The fact that he had 6 2/8" bases didnt hurt.
