Bruiser, Age and Score

[bilgerat]

Agreed....awesome buck but I'm only seeing 44 to 46" of tine on him.

I figured 45 on tines , 20" mains. 17" inside, and 37 on mass ,= 139

If that deer nets under 140, you can kick me as hard as you want.

Hope you wear a cup. He’ll net under 140” I don’t think he’ll Gross much over 140”. Even if I give him 5” on G1,2,&4 and 8” on G2’s that’s 46 in tine length for both sides. Give him 17” inside spread and 20” beams. And we have 57”. 57+46= 103” I’ll be real generous and give it 40” in mass. So that’s 143 gross. Add in deductions and your done making babies.
If you came up with different numbers post them up.

Oh yeah, pics can be very deceiving. Saw pics of a deer that was killed last year that multiple people had guessed anywhere from 135-145...deer scored 158.

This dear has closer to 50 to 52 inches of tine length. G1=5 g2=7 g3=9 and g4=5 for a total of 26 on each side. His beams are over 20 inches. Id say 22 inch beams
17 inches of mass on each side

Im going to say hes 130 plus his inside spread. 147 ish

Any thoughts on age and score of this bruiser.

So... looks like he’s gonna score 130’s to maybe high 150’s! Hope we helped

 

[kbuck1]

I don’t see much to speak of in deductions.
My original thought was at least 135” then added 5” because that’s at least a 140” net.
Those beams are 21” or probably 22”. The spread is 17” or 17 1/2. Those brows are 4 1/2 at least. I’m at 7” g2’s and 9” g3’s.
I see those inches as minimum not maximum possibility with minimal deductions.
Look at kbuck1 numbers as they are in the ballpark with mine. As for mass? I don’t know. But he’s got some that will surely contribute as well. Not much more than 140” net Imo though I believe right at it. Could be a 150” but kinda doubt it nets quite that high. I’ll stick with the kicking if I ‘m wrong though I never said where. Who cares except the Op and I’m sure he’ll be happy with a buck like that.
Is he 3 1/2 in the Ga wild? Nope. 4 1/2 plus and 140” net minimum.
I’ll need no cup when that one is officially scored.

I hope he gets him and proves us all wrong. I hope he’s in the 150’s. Like I said, I’ve seen deer that you would never think would make that score that did.

Upper 140's low 150's and looks to be mature

Boy that deer looks like he's got some of the same genes as this buck.

 

[dtala]

five years old and mid 150's easy

 

[jl840]

I added some other pictures to help.

 

[jl840]

Great buck, no doubt.

However not a great pic to age with. Add some side profiles maybe for better guesses to be made.

Score= shooter

Other pictures have been added.

 

[Long Cut]

Lookin like some Meriwether County bucks for sure

[Rackinup]

Oh heck yeah! Definitely thinking 150’s after seeing those good main beams and longer tines than I thought in the op. hope you get him soon!

 

[FregJohnson]

Score = Good enough!
Age = Old enough!
Wow what a stud! Seriously, probably 140-150 and I’d say 4.5-5.5 yo.. but hard to tell from the front

 

[Wallhanger]

I've killed good deer. I would consider it an excellent season to take a deer of this caliber. I'll throw my dollar in the pot and say 148 gross

I don't believe you've pulled a tape very often
40 inches of mass is way over estimated. Remember, you only get 4 mass measurements per side, regardless if it's an 8 pointer or 12. Your tine length estimates are short also, not to mention inside spread and main beam. Buck is closer to 150 than 140 in my humble opinion.
This is in response to Mark K's post. Can't quite figure out how to quote and comment. Not tech savvy I guess but I have pulled a few tapes.

 

[Wide Earp]

138 3.5 and dead if I see him!
btw 25 tenderloin biscuits, 10 crock pots full of chilli, same on stew and 15 meatloafs and 35 burgers!
