I would say that's about right I have one that looks very similar to yours. Very nice job on the mount! I have to post a picture of my buck because it looks so close to yours. I'm not trying to take away from your thread at all. The one on the right.

Does anyone on here mind posting a picture of a buck between 130 and 140 inches just so I can look? Thanks!

When you consistantly see Deer in the 130 to 160 range you will come to realize just how rare such Bucks are for the average hunter. The biggest to come out of my area is a 196 7/8 and I've only seen one Buck in front of me even close to him in 5 years. Those guys who consistantly harvest 160 plus free range Bucks have my respect especially if it's in public hunting areas. Look at your Bucks antlers and ask yourself if he is half the size of this one.

Great buck doetrain! What mass on that rascal!!! Was he aged to get a decent idea of how old he was? Down there in southern IN they can grow pretty big in just a few years. I was born and raised in Lawrence on the ne side of Indy and moved up here in 1962 when I was 15. I used to hunt ducks at Camp Atterbury and my deceased Dad was born and raised in your hometown!

Here is a mid 130's buck. I haven't had it officially scored but should be close to 135". I'm 6'7" it that helps with size comparisons.

There is no doubt this guy was 5 to 5 1/2 years old, a bow hunter tried to shoot him 2 years before he was taken 2 seasons ago so he was quite a Buck at 2 1/2 years old. he weighed in at 220 or 225 I think.

Ya hard to tell from the pic but like others have said under 120"

This buck on the left was only 120 so yeah I'd say you are about spot on with your measurement.

108 is about right. Not anymore than that...
