[size]This buck meets our lease shooter guidelines, and the guidelines for a neighboring lease we think he is also visiting. He looks young to me but I have little knowledge in aging.
Any age guesses? Score guesses?
In the last picture, that is him in the background.[/size]





 
During the summer, even the best guessers of age, will assume a deer to be younger than it is. What can be more accurately found is a minimum age. That deer is 4.5+

Will score low to mid 130's
 
I don't know about age but I will take a run at score. As a main frame 8

18" spread
(2) 20" main beams
(2) 3" brows
(2) 9" G2s
(2) 9" G3s
(8) 3.5" avg mass measurements
=128" +\-

Mass is always hard to judge when they are in velvet and until you have actually measured a lot of deer, main beam length is tough to judge.

It's a pretty good looking buck for sure!

His right G2 is around 11 inches, but he looks around 14-15" wide. Agree for the most part though-good guesses

Yeah after re-examining the pictures I totally agree on that tine length and spread. I thought it was the same buck in all pics so I judged the spread on the last pic.
