I would say 135-140 its a good buck. he looks pretty young. If you can help it I would say let him grow but that descision will be aweful tough with him sitting in front of you.

I'd take him in a New York minute, but that's in New York! You're more likely to see some dandys if you put the time in!!
He looks young to me, so that gives him alot of potential if you can keep him around and keep him safe!!!

138 or so deer. Nice deer but plenty young. Depends on what your after. To each their own. Great potential.

Mid 130s and fairly young. It is hard to judge age without the whole body

I was thinking along the same lines as you guys. The only problem with the location that this deer is in, come firearm season here in Illinois the hunters who hunt this ground do not discriminate on the deer they shoot. So that IMO would make it an even tougher decision to let him walk..

The best I could give it would be right at 130, age 3 1/2, If he hadn't broken his brow tines he might have at least another 10" judging from the bases.
