it really dosen't matter. he's dead and won't grow another inch. if he's what you wanted before the shot then he's big enough now..............tony

I say 138 the buck in my avatar is 155. compare

I never made to the show to have it scored. When I took the deer to my taxidermist he did a quick/rush score he came out with 131" but said he thinks it would score higher but not by alot. I was able to drop the head off at my friends house, whatever deer he measures he is normally within 1" plus or minus, before work he did a quick score he came out 130", tomorrow he will have more time and will take his sweet time scoring it. He did say that with today's quick score the deer has very little if any deductions

Looks like I lose!!! He's sure a nice buck and I would have never thought he would not go at least in the 140s looking at that picture. At least I was right on the minimal deducts comment I made. I guess I'll just sit on the sidelines from now on, LOL!
