Wisco94---I think your basic numbers are pretty close to what I figured when I said
115" at best. That's a nice buck you took with your bow and about what I would have figured him at with just that picture to look at.

Thanks Top. I once spoke with a taxidermist and he was telling me about how he has a set of teeth that are of different ages of deer. He says he uses it as a guideline to help age the deer people bring in because they are always asking him the age. I think it would be nice to have one of these. Anyone know if you can buy something similar? I don't think I have any teeth of an 8 year old buck laying around I think I'm fresh out. Perhaps I should have asked him.

Thanks, so far my best! I figured I would just throw some numbers out there for anyone who was wondering how we figured it would 115" at the most.

I would think that both deer are 2.5 years old. The ten point I would say could go 3.5 and the smaller buck could be a 1.5 year old. It all depends on genetics. I would have to see there body to make an accurate determination. Score wise, the one of the left is too small to even try. The Ten point might hit 115" inches on a good day, I'd say about 110". Unless that buck has two 10" drop tines I'm not seeing he's a long way off from 130".

***That's why I hate to even get involved in these type of threads because of exactly that and and an inch or two miss is easy to do when just looking at one picture, especially if the picture is at an angle where you can't even see it's spread, symetry, etc.

That exactly my point.its pretty hard to come up with an accurate score just from a picture.

Thanks to all of you for your input. Unless the original hunter sees the thread and post up actual numbers we will not know for sure.
I was thinking the ten might go closer to 130 than 115 because of his mass but with the numbers that have been put out there and pictures others have posted up, he probably is closer to the 115. Maybe it is a
good thing I did not bet.
