Default How old is this buck & what would he score? (video)

First off, Hello everyone, I'm new here.
Here is a video of a buck I am trying to decide if he will be going on this years hit list or left alone till next year. I have a few bigger deer than this guy I get regular sightings of, but I'm curious to see what you guys think he scores and how old he is? Just click on the picture, should link you to video







Thanks!
Jake

he may net 140, G3 is weak on the left side, G4 is weak on the right so he'll lose a lot there

He's well over 140. I agree with katerlax. 150s somewhere. Hard to age from those pics, but 4 seems reasonable to me.

Ever killed any 150s? He's a nice deer but a LONG way from 155 and look at his thin neck, "long gangly legs" and no thick chest or brisket like a 150s 4yr old would more than likely have!

I haven't killed any in the 150's, I have killed two that measured in the low 130's and this deer is bigger....but, I do agree I think he is younger with really good gene's. I have at least 4 deer I see regularly on my property in the 160+ class but I cannot pattern them at all, and this guy is very predictable, which also leads me to believe he is younger. I think I would have a hard time passing him though, I have one deer I have seen two times I call him big Jon, I wish I had a picture of him to show you.....non-typical 200+ inches grotesque looking.

I couldn't access the video, and those aren't great pictures, but I would stick with 150ish. He looks very similar to a 138" 8 ptr I shot a couple years ago and being a 10 ptr I am assuming he's got an extra 10 inches there. I also didn't look at where the deer is from. My buddy has shot some Mississippi and Oklahoma bucks that look ginormous because their bodies were so small. Deer in the northern part of the country and canada like they have a lot smaller racks than they actually do. A 125 lb 150 incher looks a lot different than a 200 lb 150 incher
