What do yall think the age and score is on this deer?

5.5 gross about 115

123 1/8.... I'd say 4.5-5.5

on board 4.5 to 5.5 age and 116 to 119 score.

120-125 and 4

118-122” 4 years old

4 or 5 yr old, leaning towards 4, 120" +- 3", short 2's and 4's kill him score wise. Good solid Bama buck.

4.5 125"ish

Maybe I missed 10" on his rack but I don't see it. Just outside the ears so 15"-15.5" wide, 3" brows, 5"G2s, a 6" and an 8" G3, 2" G4s, 20" main beams, he's not heavy without velvet so avg circumferences... I see 112-115"? Where am I missing? Maybe I'm used to short tines 🤣

I didn't argue with your estimation. You might be right.

I ask this every time I get a good one on camera because I am tired of getting excited over decent bucks while I am sitting in the tree and pulling the trigger. I am trying to train myself to more accurately assess a buck and break my bad habit of high grading deer by getting better at accurately scoring and aging them. Hence my question.

You didn't. He definitely will not make 125 and he honestly, probably won't make 120. In my post above, I just ran it real quick on my calculator on my desk, based on a single pic, and was at 116.5. Since I didnt spend much time looking at it, I rounded my estimate up to 120" and said plus or minus 3". Rules of thumb for field and pic scoring, a deers ears are 6.5 - 7" long. Use that for estimating tine length. A deer's eye circumference is roughly 3.5 - 4". Use that for estimating mass.

No I wasn't talking about you buddy. I was talking the about the other guys that was saying maybe 125. I used to do the same thing as far as high grading. I'm so glad this isn't an issue for turkey hunting lol

That's kinda the same rules I use as well. I've only had a couple that turned out bigger than thought. Most end up being smaller.

You are probably right I just quick guessed. But I usually over estimate the 110-120 inch deer. But who ever really scores them anyways? But , I almost always underestimate bigger bucks. I'll guess a 200 inch deer at 180, usually think a 160 deer is about 150, and if I see a 140 I usually think he is in the 130s. Best part is I never get ground shrinkage.

The deer I was hunting for the last couple years was found dead last weekend (he died last winter). I thought he was a good 175-180. Officially scored 197. So, I wouldn't take my word for it.

im going opposite direction. 3 1/2 yo.. front shoulders are not as big or bigger than the hams..

Aint a tine on that deers head that’ll go 8”.

Low 120's, maybe 3.5 to 4.

At least 4 and I’m getting around 110-112”.

4 - 112-115

Solid bama buck

115-120. 5 yr old all day.

Mature 4-5 yr old. 120’s

My guess 4yr old..... Do as you wish.... a hunting neighbor once told me ...if you see a nice buck kill it...cause the folks around here were we hunt will if you don't.... I didn't follow that advice but there were a slight few bucks that we got on camera we never saw live on the hoof ... can't say the neighbors got em but then again...

The worst enemy of a great buck is a good buck, I just don't know if we have them. I can show you a portfolio of pictures of 4-6 year old bucks off the farm from the last 10 years and zero of them would break 120

I wish I had the time and money to complete some habitat projects and maybe implement some warm and cool season food plots but I just cant make it happen in this season of life...maybe one day
