I'm thinking 4.5 and if you can give him another year he could be a real stud next year.

Agree with what the others have said. At least 4.5, but nowhere near 160 as a mainframe 8. Mid 140's with the kicker is about as generous as I can be.

i think he will be 4.5 this fall as well, and think he will finish out right about 150. JMHO.

If he was six months old with spots and head gear like that I'd shoot him. We don't have that many deer here in Alabama like that.
I fought Him, ran from Him, thought I could do it all without Him, but when I finally turned to Him, He opened his arms and took me in.

Unless he's behind a high fence, I'd shoot him. May be the last time you see him.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

140's and need a couple of different pics of him broadside and looking straight on to see his age, but I am thinking 4 yr old minimum with that one pic. Dang pretty buck.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

I think yall might be under estimating his mass, I have 165 9 point, but I score as a 162 as an 8 that is real similar size to this buck, I know he will score way over 140, I just seen a few kickers here and there on him and thought if he was young enough he might blow up. thanks for your opinions

I don't think he's wide enough to break 150. The mass is deceiving now due to him being in velvet. He's very nice I'd probably take him, if I had a chance this year.
Would like to see pics of your bruiser 8, I love be 8s.

No way that deer is in the 160s.
Great buck though, older than 3, I'd shoot him be I you.

I took a buck real similar to this one as well that had quite a few stickers on him last year and he taped out in the upper 50's. I do think as well he's at least a 4.5

Really nice deer no matter the age. I'd say 4.5 though. A very nice mature buck. I'm sure your daughter would love to make another cover photo with that one!

Nice buck! I'm with the others, I think he's 4.5. He would be a great buck to shoot this year but will be even better next year, and if you shoot him this year you'll never know how good he COULD be. If you don't have a lot of hunting pressure around you I would let me him walk, but that's just me.
