Mike, this is just my opinion and I may be wrong but I think this nice 8 is closer to the low 120's. He also appears to be a relatively young deer and could use another year probably but we all know how that usually goes, right! Lol
Good luck either way buddy! I just hope ground shrinkage doesn't get you if you choose to shoot him if you get a chance.
do you suppose he got so old because of the lack of head gear?
No, I know a couple neighbors were trying to kill him and chuck him over the hill. He has had the same exact rack for 4 or 5 years. I’ve never had an open shot at him. I know where I can kill him. I’m avoiding that stand hoping something else shows up soon.
Tell your neighbors you know a guy with a buck tag that would love to take him. I’d be tickled to take a deer of that age and the meat would go a long ways.
One of the places sold and is now under the control of an outfitter. If you want to buy my place you can kill this one or all of his sons that are showing up. He must get around because there are a lot of young bucks with weak G3s now.
Interested, you can PM me if your serious. We are going to be in the market here in the future for a recreational property.
