Im think that this dear is 3.5 and wondering if I should let him walk, little kicker off backside and I see another point developing so I am thinking to let him walk. Guesses on score? Im think 160ish

I'm gonna say minumum of 4.5 Looks like a deep brisket on him.

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

Beautiful Deer. You cant go wrong with either choice. score in the high 140's right now

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.

Unless he's behind a high fence, I'd shoot him. May be the last time you see him.

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.

Good looking deer no matter what you decide to do with him.

yep. but great looking buck for sure.

Really nice deer no matter the age. I'd say 4.5 though.

Give him one more year? hehehe sure

Choot em!

I would give him another year...if I couldn't get him down this year.

Very nice buck

4.5

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.

He looks like a mid 50's buck to me. 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

A very nice mature buck. I'm sure your daughter would love to make another cover photo with that one!

I'd say he's around 145 and 4.5

where is this from? Is this around Gatesville?

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.
