Default need help scoring this buck

Found this buck sneaking around by my camera last fall. been dreaming about him for months, what do you think he'd score? tough to tell from only one angle. let me know what you guys think.

Being just a small basket 8pt, he has no mass, no tine length, no beam length, and no spread(his main beams are inside his ears), he will maybe go 70 inches if you're lucky. Of course that was last year, so he should be a little bigger this year.

That lil basket would be lucky to go 60" and with out seeing the rest of his body to get a feel for age it's hard to tell how much he gained this year

thanks guys, i was expecting around 80" i really appreciate everyone's help. from what i have gathered i believe that he was 2 1/2 when that picture was taken. I am really excited to see what he is this year. i think he has great potential. hopefully he'll find his way in front of another trail cam(:

Nice looking young buck there. He could be a good one this year, or maybe next. One of the best things about trail cameras is watching the deer from year to year. Good luck tracking him down again this year!
