Im thinking 160's and he looks 3.5 years old.... Thanks

Two answers
 
1. It doesn't pay anyone to learn to score a deer by a picture.
2. By the picture, someone else will shoot and claim the trophy.

I'd say he's probably pushing 160 from the pic. No idea how old, deer can look much different body wise depending on where they live. Regardless he's a dandy!

What's on the ground he's coming to?

I would guess upper 140's, maybe 150. Straight back, not really any pot belly, well defined neck/shoulders, I would guess a 3.5 year old possibly 4.5.

I would say upper 140s and agree on age, likely 3.5 to 4.5

Looks bigger than 140s to me but that is why we can't score deer from just pictures.

He is 140's all day everyday. I just did quick a score on him and made sure I leaned towards the generous side of the measurements and even then I only hit 147. I'd be willing to bet he is right around 140 give or take a few inches. Nice deer no matter what he scores and he wouldn't be left to walk away from me that's for sure.

Are you talking gross or net?

Here's my rationale. Start with the deer's right side. Main beam 24, Brow 3.5, G2 8, G3 8, G4 5. Left side Main beam 24, Brow 3.5 G2 8, G3 9, G4 3. Circumference 5, 4, 4, 3 on both sides. Inside Spread 18. Those numbers total 146 with no deductions. Like rockport said, you can't score from a picture, but I would guess him to be in the upper 140s. No doubt a dandy and a shooter. Great looking buck.

Yeah that is what makes it impossible.

Estimate 1/2 short on 18 measurements from 146 and he is 137s estimate 1/2 inch long on 18 measurements from 146 and he is 155 and trail cameras are often way more deceiving than 1/2 inch even from picture to picture of the same buck.
