If you look at the scoring page of the gun contest ( page 3 ), I killed one very similar in size to this one. Mine is a little wider and maybe a little thicker. The G1's on mine hurt my score. My deer scored 126, so this buck may be a little less or a little more, but nowhere near 140 and probably under 130. Still a very nice deer.

I'd say he is just touching 130" and at most 3.5 years old. 140" and 9.5 is way off. I know we all want deer to be bigger and older than they are but the nose on that thing gives it way. Even a 4.5 would have more of a roman nose. I shot a 140" 8 point this year and that deer needs to be a lot wider to wider to be closer to 140". He is a great buck though that anyone would be proud to shoot! Good luck with him!

Ok, lets explain this. Age is probably 2.5- 3.5. As far as score, he has no mass, he is just at his ears on spread, his beams barely go mid- stride on his nose, but they do almost touch so you are gaining a little there, Brow tines are very short (maybe 3"), g3's are maybe as long as his ears (7"), he has 2 tines (g2's) that are a decent length (maybe 10"), This 8 pt would not even go 125 pope n young.
All that said, he is a nice little buck, and a huge trophy for many people. He would be even bigger next year, but might not live that long if you pass on him. The next guy may take him. If you go after him, all the best to you, and make it a good shot.
