Buck age question

Got This guy on the trail cam the other day, just curious as how old you guys think he is, also what he would score?

First, that’s a hellava nice deer!
Congrats on having him in your neck of the woods.
I’d say 3 1/2yrs. He’s still got a straight back and his belly is not sagging>also does appear to have ‘greying’ on his face(like I do), but I still don’t think he goes 4yrs old.
Score, being a 10, 152 4/8’s He looks very symmetrical and he’s not busted up from fighting (yet)…unless I knew of one bigger in my woods, he would NOT be granted any pass… him in my opinion….

It’s not too often that you get to see many 130-140″ 3.5 y/o but i think that’s what you have here This deer may be 4.5 y/o but his body and mass don’t quite measure up IMO I wouldn’t pass this deer

I agree – I think he’s a 3.5 year old. His chest is about the same size of his hind quarters.

I would like to see him head on – but for a score I would guess:

G1s – 6
G2s – 18
G3s – 16
G4s – 8
Beams – 46
Mass – 30
I.S. – 18
Total – 142

Good luck if you decide to go after him!

X2 great buck, has fantastic potential but also a great deer this year if thats what you decide.

3 1/2 yo. I guess him to be low 140s.

I agree very much with everyone on a 3-1/2 max. Though he has great genes, to I hope he gets a chance to contribute those to many does before he is taken. His inside spread is hard to judge between to two different angles. Guess 142 to 150????

3.5 I’m going with mid 140’s he wouldn’t walk past me

I would agree with the rest, this is most likely a 3.5 year old. Id put him at 135-<145, most likely in the high 130’s to slim 140’s gross. He’s a real solid deer with great potential. I would like to see a straight on shot of him to solidify my score, but knowing SCMN, I’m pretty certain this is a 3.5 year old.
