I can show you (2) 6+ year olds that won’t break 120 and 2 five year olds that will dance all over 150. They come from the same property. I can also show you 3 year olds that will dance all over 120 and 3 years olds that won’t break 80. I think the data goatkiller gave is inaccurate. By the way none of these deer are wider than 15”.


I say that to say this. You have to have genetics and age but to say that any property in Alabama can produce 120s is true but to me the consistently is what makes a difference.

Winner winner

109 6/8”

He’s in my opinion what the “average” mature AL buck is. I only shot him b/c of age, definitely not rack size. Hoping a younger buck will more potential will take his place.

4” bases 19.5” beams

Buckhunter2, I’m not trying to be rude so please do not take it that way. I’m just trying to understand the point you are making because sometimes things get lost in translation. Were you asking aldeer to score that buck to see how many would get it correct just by a pic, or do you think the deer you posted and the op’s pic are similar in size?


I may have missed something, I’ll admit that I haven’t read every comment in this thread.

My take was seeing if anyone would get the score correct from a picture.

I guess this one to be 125ish. Only measured the G2s and they’re a little over 12” and main beams were 21.5

The deer in the original post will score right around 137"

This one will throw you a bit. G2s both over 11”. The mass on his right side was 15”.

No worries! Heck no I don’t think my deer is even remotely close to the caliber of that deer.

The point I was trying to make is how hard it is to score a deer from a single pic. In only 3 guesses, one was 14” off on a 110” deer.

I think the buck in the OP’s pic will scare 140”. The mass is incredible and the tine length is above average.

Gotcha. Thats what I assumed. There’s some on here comparing their 115-120” deer to the OP’s buck pic and claiming they’re the same size, which they’re not.

Nobody on this site has seen anything but one bad picture of the deer that definitely presents its rack to be bigger than it is. Thats a fact. Nobody knows what it scoted. But theres sure alot of folks on here who are pretty sure about it from one bad picture. Im afraid the lying media has destroyed all of us.

I know give or take a few inches what mine scored. It was around 130 according to my 15 yr olds rough measurements I figured 127-130. But I didn’t make a pic trying to make it look 140 I was thrilled to kill one that size.

121 but in that picture it doesn’t look like it….no offense……I wouldn’t have given it that much mass but it could be a little wider than I’m giving it from the angle of the picture

Spread is 15 4/8 wide but G2s are 10 7/8 on right and left is 11 2/8.
The guy is like 6’3 and huge hands, thought I’d reverse the scenario.

123 ?

Beams are 21 and 20.5

We didn’t get exact with it but right side is weaker side. We were around 130 with a cloth tape. We didn’t measure every measurement. Just the ones I’ve mentioned. I thought it would be 125 looking at it. I think mass is what carried it. We had 30 for mass since left side was stronger. Left base was a few eights more so we ran with it.

Just looking at the pic Id only guess 115-120 and think I was being generous.
With exact proper measuring it probably would be 128ish gross

This thread is actually fun for me no matter who is right. Take a look at this 8 pt (with 1 kicker) that has already been scored and let's see what you guys come up with. He is not meant to compare to the OP deer at all. EDIT: You have to know that where this deer is from, a buck's ears are about 7" long and 18" tip to tip. Also, this is not a funky camera trick photo and the hunter is 6'2", 210 lbs. The deer is exactly the same weight as the hunter.

Sure are lots opinions on a pic off spacebook. Someone get a tape . Problem solved . There is enough detectives on here to track guy down that shot him and pay him a visit . Lol

You speak a lot of truth JWalker. I enjoy this thread because I have to score a lot of bucks, from pictures and on the hoof before a hunter pulls the trigger. I would say 9 out of 10 people will overestimate one until he is on the ground in front of them. That is true IF they are hunting familiar ground. Throw them into an area where body size is much larger than what they are used to and they will underestimate. The reverse is true as well. Smaller bodied deer will fool the crap out of you. Most people on here probably don't give a shucks and I completely understand that. I was that way for most of my life and still am unless I am hunting where it matters.

Remember the good ol days when nobody gave a crap what a deer scored? You were just happy to see or get one. I miss those days....

Heck of a deer 143 for me!!! Tough to tell with straight on picture if you ask me! But a stud!
