Default New Buck

Hello. I posted a while back of some bucks on our farm. I moved the camera 3 weeks ago to a new location about 500 yards from where I had the camera. I didn't get any pictures of the bucks from the first spot, but got a lot of small buck's and 1 picture of this fella. Any idea of a score and age? Thanks

Tough call on this picture but I would venture to say he is either 3 1/2 or 4 1/2, and as an 8 pointer around 120 to 125 maybe.

Well it is kinda hard to see. He does have tall G-2' maybe 10 -12 inches. Tall G-3's maybe 8 inches long. Past his ears with maybe a 19 inch spread. beams almost touch leads me to bealive 23-24 inch main beams. Nice brows maybe 5 inches long. Not monster mass but not to shabby. I would say around 130 ish. If he was a ten it might go 140 with 5 inch G-4's. Nice buck. Good Luck. 3.5 yrs old.

He looks pretty mature. 3.5 maybe 4.5 years old. I have no idea on the score. I'd probably take him if he came by me, especially later in the season.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. Here is a zoomed in photo of him. He is pretty nice but wish he was a little wider.

He looks very mature. I'm going to say 4.5 at least. His neck is already thick and blowed up. That buck will make 140" easily. Great tine length in all his points, long main beams, good mass, and average width. That is a trophy 8 for sure.
