Your thoughts…age & score?

[Ski]

Im not talkinh about his rack. Im talking about neck and shoulders.

Gotcha. I guess I'm not seeing the development you mention. Hopefully OP gets him and can send the teeth off. Great deer at any age!

 

[wsm]

Looks a little young in the neck and face but still 3.5 maybe, good gene pool and nice buck. 135 to 140

 

[muddyboots]

4 1/2 and 138

Hopefully I'll have his age and rack on my wall to score after this season. If I do, I'll be sure and share with the velvet pic and the mount pic.

 

[shrimphead]

3 1/2 137

 

[GRIT]

147 to 152

Probably 4+ years old. Score? Big enough I wouldn't pass him up. Good luck with him this season. I'm real curious to see him out of velvet.

If he's a mountain deer I would guess 5 1/2 and mid 140s all day long

I look at alot of buck everyday out of my window. Many of these deer i have a history with. That deer is no youngster. It takes food to make them fat and testosterone to thicken a neck. Not alot of either in early September in the mountains. But that is mature buck

A la The Price is Right, without going over, 4 years, two months, 11 days. And 146-3/8.

IMO, you need a hunting partner to help you hunt for him. You could sit in one stand, and I could sit in another. That would improve the odds of taking some tailgate pics with him!

 

[redblood]

He is an an outstanding buck for sure. Good luck with him

4 1/2 and 140. That's a very good TN buck. Good luck hunting him.

Long story on this buck….he showed up in a place I was not expecting. I was trying to avoid what I thought was his area until rut. He showed up on opening day of archery with a smaller buck about 3/4 mile from where I got the trail cam pic. I got a shot but messed it up somehow. I was sick to my stomach. Tried a dog. Tried watching for buzzards for weeks. No luck…..until the farmer cutting beans called me. He died in standing beans and luckily the farmer didn't run over him. Just got him back from the taxidermist using a cape from a buck my daughter killed which is kinda cool.

 

[FLTENNHUNTER1]

LMAO SCORE??

 

[Waterboy Bob]

I'm not an expert at scoring but from my measurements he is 142".

 

[Madbowh]

3.5 /140

 

[Acorn]

Nice buck, Congratulations!

I grossly underestimated him. That deer is all over 150

 

[DoubleRidge]

Awesome buck! Congratulations!

I think you are really close. Glad you ended up finding him, great buck. Did you happen to check his teeth?

 

[Waterboy Bob]

I didnt…was just so glad I found the rack without it being broken or chewed on.
