What does he score? Still have a tag to fill lol

[Chancegriffis]

Thought and opinions on age as well as score. This buck has made home here on this 98 acres I have permission to hunt for the next several years at least. My guess would be high 120s and 3.5 years old or so. Let me know what you think please

Solid 8 with good mass, tine length and width. Id say 143- 5/8. Good luck!

3.5 years old looks about right.

He’s be dead if I was in the tree and he walked by this year

 

[Trueroots]

Upper 130’s IMO

 

[Trueroots]

Regardless, he is a beautiful buck. Good luck

I grew up staying in my uncles cabin and he had a 141" 8 on the wall. This buck is very similar with shorter brows and more width. He's right at 141 IMO.

As my first year in Ohio I shouldn’t be so picky with my first buck but I put my time in and got a few good pieces of permission. This buck has been extremely consistent and I told myself if I see him in the stand I would be very passive towards him because I didn’t know how big he was.... he’s definitely going to be hard to pass up but if he lives til next year he would be a phenomenal buck.

140 even, good deer now but would definitely seem to have nice potential. Not sure how much pressure the area gets but he’s still got a bonus gun, muzzleloader and the rest of bow season to make it through to even have the chance to realize that potential haha. Good luck with him.

Upper 130’s to low 140’s. Definitely a shooter. Good luck!

This deer is pretty close to a piece of public and as I think more and more about him and how often he comes in, if I get the chance Friday-Monday coming up he’s gonna die lol

I agree with all else. I put that deer 135-138

8s are odd because mass dont give you much, its all about beams and length - that deer has both. Also, I with that belly and slight sway in back - that deer is 4+. My cousin killed a buck 2 years ago similar to that deer, he didnt grow an inch from one year to the next - maybe a touch in mass....still a hell of a trophy!

Upper 30s atleast. Go shoot him

 

[Gern186]

You still get 4 mass measurements on an 8 point same as a 6 , 10 or 12 pointer.

I shot this one around 2007 and he grossed 145

What a stud. Man you’ve always killed great bucks!!

What beams did that have 22 1/4 each?
Yes you get mass measurements but typically the variance between measurements is minuscule compared to lengthy and beams - your deer and his above probably has a difference in 1-3 inches in mass total. That was my point is all.

Top pic the deer scored low 140’s gross....forget the actual number but I’ve got the score sheet somewhere. Second one scored 146 7/8 gross.

 

[xbowguy]

142 7/8.

 

[Chancegriffis]

Keep em coming guys! I appreciate the input! Gonna give him hell the next four days even with the warmer temps and rain the next two!

one more vote for him netting about 138-140". gorgeous 4x4.

I'd say he is 4 1/2, though.

 

[Chancegriffis]

Another new deer to the pile! Don’t really get why he bedded in it, but pretty cool to see on cam

 

[Johnny44]

kill him.
