Age & Score - your opinions

[meatmuzzy]

I think both these bucks are 3.5 years of age but they could be older. I dont think the 8 will go 130" but maybe close to it? First 2 pics are the same buck. The third is a 9 pointer. What do you guys think?

[G-Man]

i would go with 3 1/2 for the 8pt.. kinda short brows.. 125-130 my guess. the 9 is maybe 4 1/2 more mass deeper thicker body than 3 1/2 with deductions for typical low 130's

3.5 seems right, I guess the 8 goes 120-125.

3.5 looks about right i dont think he would break 120 but close.

[njg0621]

3.5 no more than 120

[Fletch]

The 8 I would guess 3.5 and about 115 inches. The 9 looks like 4.5 anyway hard to tell inches with angle but he scores at least 10 inches more than the 8.

3.5 or better... would score in 110-115 range

The 8 is similar frame to one I shot a few years ago, he scored 126 3/8. Don't think I would put him any higher than that. The 9, a bit more mass but with the deduction I say he nets close to the 8. Prob low 130's at best. Either way both are nice mature deer. Hope you get one!

This buck scored 112 with a broken brow... should give you an idea where that buck scores

NYantler is right on. Both are nice deer but i dont think either one makes 115. 3 1/2 yr. 8 point . 9 point could be a good 3 yr. old but more likely a 4. G-3's are short so wont score great.

[Red]

120ish

[chiefbkt]

I meant 116 3/8 not 126 3/8...sorry.

[meatmuzzy]

nyantler he does have the same frame of your deer, thanks for posting that and great buck! Thanks for the input guys!
