What do you guys think?

Good mass and a good buck. 4.5 is my best guess. He's a shooter in my book!!

mature deer for sure. that's all that matters.

Enough to die!

I am bucking the trend here and saying he is a young buck.. Just turned 3....His belly isnt sagging.. You can still see the Neck and Shoulder seperation.. He probaly scores 120.. If he was at our camp, he would probably live another year..

3 1/2 years old and around the 125" mark, nice deer.

Cwink,

Isnt your camp in Rankin County..or the likes? I know that many camps around this area have the high expectations of killing 135" deer, with 16" spread/21" main beam/8pt or better antler restrictions that he wouldnt be a "shooter"..........................but you cant,for the life of me,tell me that, should that deer step out on a green patch, anywhere in or around Rankin County, that his life would be spared.

Now I know out there are your beloved Estancia in South Texas, yall raise bigger cattle..er livestock...er wildlife, than this here deer...but I got a sweet hunnert dolla bill that you'd shoot the chit out of him...maybe not at the "Hacienda...but in Rankin County he'd be dead...


Didn't you go to that camp many times, without seeing the first bit of hair last year?

According to our biologist 98% of deer in our soil region will have a 14" spread by the age of 3, so we have a minimum inside spread of 14"..Which is outside the ears when the ears are in the alert position, and it is real hard to tell in that first pic if the antlers would be outside the ears but it appears that it would be close.. Judgeing from that pic I would have to let it walk.. Now in real life his ears would move and if I saw the antlers were outside the ears or even with the ears BOOOOOOMMMMMM would be all you would hear.. I just can't tell from the pic if he is outside the ears, but I would bet he is not more than 3.5 years old.. If he was legal on our camp, I would fire away, but there are others that go strickly by age on our camp and would let him walk..

here's another so you can kinda tell about his ears.....
