Here is another pic. I can't get that one pic to work right.
Here is another pic. I can't get that one pic to work right.
nice buck I agree he looks a little on the young side too
as for score, a decent guess from me would need a clearer pic's
its so hard when there at angles for me
but 140 sounds reasonable
hard to see mass real good from these two pic(the second pic in first reply, doesn't work for me??)
and IR flash always leaves some details out to me too
I love my color Cuddybacks white flash
so much better pictures
but they do suck up battery's faster, and that flash gives them away?? they can grow legs if NOT bolted good to a tree LOL
Trying the color pic again
I would agree 140's would be a decent guess, but kind of hard to tell from these pics (and being uploaded to the computer). As far as age, really hard to tell from these pics IMO. Do you have any pics of his whole body? I think its a lot easier to age deer from looking at there body's. But from these I would guess he would definitely be a giant! The other major thing to consider is, will he be able to survive another couple years? Does his home range provide enough "protection" from other hunters and what not? How much pressure does he see/feel? ......
I live life at full draw....
Here are 2 more pictures of him and I will check the card and see if I have any better body shots of him.
Im in agreement with Zach. If he has pretty safe habitat, in other words if he is on private land and not much road traffic nearby and you think he has good odds of surviving another year or two, it might be a good buck to let grow into a GIANT. He is nice for sure, and I would have a tough time passing on him now. He may or may not add mass. If he did, he would be a STUD. It's gamble for sure. All depends on what you want, what you already have taken, etc... I hunt mostly public land and the big 8 I saw last year all over my cameras has not shown up once this year. So he may have been taken, or just didn't make it through another tough winter. Really disappointed he has not shown up this year. Given that scenario - I might not wait. Go with your gut....
Here is probably the best body shot I have of him which still isn't all that good.
