What's this one score?

[Lever action]

Checked my cameras today( they have been out in the woods over a month)and this is what I had along with some small bucks and a lot of does.

maybe 120

 

[BizCT]

Is he a clean 10? Tough to get a look at the brows and spread. G4's are tiny. maybe 111-119" GROSS?

[DanD]

115ish...low 120s at most. I'd be more than happy if he came my way  

[nybuckboy]

130

Nope....More likely between 110 and 120 if that... Short tines, not much mass...Nice buck, but not a high scorer...

[rob-c]

He’s a solid 120 gross. Shot em if you see him .. 

[NFA-ADK]

Great looking young buck!  I would estimate 115 ish.  Not sure his right side would count the G4 as a point making him a 9pt if the left side G4 is an inch, looks like it would count.

Well I hope he kills him and has him scored.

[Einsamer Krieger]

I agree between 116-120, nice buck

[JRod 8G8H]

Nice buck!! 120

[cbyzerman]

Can not really tell how wide he is from angle and that makes all the difference in world....  But lets assuming he is 18 inch which he probable is not then he might gross at best 125.......

[GreeneHunter]

Freezer Space for sure !

Thanks, and if I am fortunate enough to kill him I will have him scored.I agree, think he would score close to 130.

Nice buck, but 130 is stretching it just a tad I think? But regardless of score, I hope you get to lay hands on him!

My feeling has always been, score is just some numbers written on a page. Not the most important aspect when I'm deciding to shoot or not.

Well I guess there's only one way to find out, but I'm just excited knowing he's out there.

[cbyzerman]

Score never really mattered to me it was how big does he look out at 200 yds..........  Shot a old 7 pointer once that had real big  g2s that would not score over a young 10 that would have probably grossed 125....

[NFA-ADK]

I scored this myself, granted I am not an official scorer and I did underestimate.  This is about 133 inch  8pt.  To give an idea of what a 130 is roughly.  2010 His G2's are not even close to this, G3's are close and possibly larger, no way those main beams match this buck, thickness is unreal.  Not quite can sized but still thick!  A 130 buck is a stud in most anyone's book, that deer above would need another year to get into the 130 plus range.

Very similar to the original post, close to the 120 range. 

[Robhuntandfish]

if i went on one of those hunting trips out west where they say not to shoot anything under 140" i would be screwed.  "here is the money for my fine up front"  I would pull the trigger on any of these and assume they are big enough.  

[NFA-ADK]

Good 2 year olds usually range in the 120 range.  Great food, genetics and little stress and they can go higher especially those 10 points.  To get above the 130 mark most deer need at least 3 years of growth.  In deep woods it is usually 4 years till they get a good rack.  Here is some info.

if you figure an adult deer's ear is 6", use that to estimate the tine length and beam length. multiple angle pictures sure help in this. Ear tip to ear tip in a relaxed position I figure about 15-16" spread.  if you make an "ok sign with your index finder and thumb that will give you an idea what a 6" circumference measurement looks like. (It's huge and not seen very often).
