3.5 is a good guess, could be 4.5 but definitely not 2.5 or it's in a pen getting the best nutrients available.
Could be a 12 pt if that nub in the beam G4 is over an inch. Good luck with him....

Awww heck Barnes, that little fellers nads aint even dropped yet 
Let that pup walk. Maybe get a little frisky with the women folk for a year or 2! (you do know I'm kidding right?) He's a beauty, and a combination of a fine rack on the wall and still good eating! That's a hard combination to find! On the properties I'm managing here in IL I would let him walk as he looks to be of a superior gene pool and I'd want him breeding till he was at least 6.5 but under other circumstances that would be a buck I would be more than happy to let an arrow fly to! ESPECIALLY in PA. Bucks that age with that development are few and far between there. He probably passed on his genes last year. More than likely was a brute then too!

We only shoot a handful of the bucks we see each year so there's a good chance he does get another year.
The picture is from a food plot and it's at night. There are two good size fields we plant an an orchard. Surrounding those fields are about 2000 acres of completely overgrown clear cut. Jungle thick with no visibility. So these bucks have the upper hand. The pieces that weren't cut are thick mountain laurel, swamp and cliff. Tough hunting.
