Wow!! Believe it or not, he looks even bigger than the trail cam pics indicated. I have noticed this on the deer at my place too. If they look big on the trail cam, they ARE big.
Congrats!
(Sorry I am not a score and age man other than to say he looks old enough and big enough.)
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

(Sorry I am not a score and age man other than to say he looks old enough and big enough.) I have seen that go both ways some of it is camera angle and distance. Some you kill are larger and then have seen it go the other way as well. Kacees last two have been larger than pics, but another guy on lease shot one that was not close to what he appeared on camera.

Well I call him a 12 point but he's technically an 11 right, he did have a split left G4 most of the year but must have broken it off fighting. I'm used to seeing him with 12 so I call him that.

Not sure that G-5 on the left qualifies as a point.
Still one incredible deer.
I'm not real good at scoring, but I'm guessing 165ish.
Congrats!

Serious reverse ground shrinkage! What a monster! Congratulations on getting him. Is there a good story too?

Basically, I've been seeing him on camera since June. I've hunted every weekend since bow season opened and have never seen him on hoof. I took my older sister out to try to shoot one of 4 cull bucks I've been seeing because she hasn't killed anything in 4 years and nothing worth bragging about ever. I didn't even take my regular deer rifle with me because I didn't plan on shooting anything. Around 5:30 pm a forked 4 pt cull ran out into the field and as she was getting the gun up I see antlers walking out behind him, so I nicely yanked the rifle out of her hands and drop him in his tracks at 200 yards. I went down and just sat there looking at his huge rack for 10 minutes while she got my truck, and needless to say, if she wasn't there I probably would have shed a couple tears due to all the time and effort I put in to getting this deer!

So, what caliber and what rifle did she have?
If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.

So, what caliber and what rifle did she have? I usually have my custom 7mm RemMag with me, but decided not to take it since it was "her hunt". Yesterday we took my .243 XTR for her and I had my AR-15 for coyotes. Surprisingly my .243 dropped him in his tracks!!
