Default help on a score

Got this guy on camera- trying to decide whether or not to shoot him this year. From his body, I don't think he is much older than 3 1/2-4 1/2 years old. I don't know if I could let him walk though. Need some other opinions on what he might score to help make up my mind!

Looks like a main frame 10, I'm going to guess mid 160's or so. Hard to tell. Little bit of sway back, got a belly, shoulders/neck are filling out, maybe 4 1/2. Get a $100 Moultrie and put a $19 chip in it, better pictures and they hold about 1400 pictures. I guarantee if I had a shot at him I would take it, you may never see him again.

That's exactly the setup The original picture was kind of dark- this one is enhanced to brighten it up. Here's the original...

Guessing high 150's, but its hard to tell. He looks like a mature deer to me, i wouldn't let him walk.

These guys are better than me at scoring. Both pictures are pretty bad for getting even a rough score IMO. However, both pictures are good enough for me to know that I would have no problem at all pulling the trigger on him. Rack appears to having everything I am looking for and he appears to fairly mature deer. Good luck, I hope you are able to get on him.

Def. not in the 160 class. Doubtful 150. High 140's, and a shooter, unless there is an abundance of that class buck where you hunt. If so, pm me the area you hunt, and the cost of a non- residence license.
