honestly with hardly any brow tines and not long tines everywhere else, he may be right at 100, maybe not even IMO

This time of year you will probably kill a buck you never had a picture of. Sounds like a good club.

I know I've already responded, but I've scored a lot of deer and I would be surprised if this one goes over 110. He will be close but I'd take the under. Trying to save you a fine. Still a nice buck, and I think it's a shame you can't shoot him for your first buck (or 2nd or 3rd for that matter), but rules are rules

I think he's bumping somewhere just north of 100"

Just guessing here, but I'll lay out what I'm thinking:

If he had 18" main beams,
16" spread
G1's 1.5"
G2's 6.5"
G3's 4"
H1's 3.5"
H2's 3.2"
H3's 3"
H4's 2.5"

I only get just over 100 inches. I don't think I've missed 15", but who knows. He may have more mass than I gave him credit for, but I don't think I'm too far off with the main beams, spread and tine lengths.

I went back to that realtree calculator and went conservative on the measurements ... got a 98" this time. That give me a spread of 98" to 116" and I don't have much experience ballparking the measurements. I have no clue how accurate my estimates are so I sure appreciate you experienced guys chiming in ... Thanks

95-100 is probably pretty darn close

If he is around a 100" 3 1/2 year old, he should be pushing 120" next year and top out somewhere around 130".

100-105

After seeing that video, he may be bigger than I thought when looking at the picture you sent me. IMO, that area, if it's where I am thinking you were talking about hunting, has a lot of deer bigger than that moving through it consistently. I think if you hunt it you may be surprised at the opportunities that you might have the last few weeks of the season. The amount of deer that size in that area is unreal. Best bet is to just hunt as much as you can and commit to the area. I know they are there and I've seen some nice ones myself around there.

Matt I set one of my cams on video and its chock full of deer casually walking down that trail. I was very surprised as I see very few tracks on it. I'm guessing that they are not walking directly on the trail but right off of it

And like someone else mentioned, there is a bunch of deer using that property that most likely don't live on it right now. The last 3 or 4 I've seen have never showed up on camera or anything. I can't wait to get back after em

He ll cost ya $500 , but only by a few inches. Just enough to add insult to injury.

I'm guessing 100-103 inches.

Best idea I've heard so far ... Show the club president the video and ask him if its a shooter. Thanks Matt

Man up there where you're at the way that mountain ties all that wilderness and them ag fields together there's liable to be a sure enough Gonzo that you never even knew was in the world come walking thru at any minute.
Either way if you could see a picture of what that buck is gonna look like next year you'd be kicking yourself for shooting him this year. There is so much difference in the way a 100" deer looks vs what he'd look like next year when he's a clean 120" 8

He does have one beautiful rack don't he
