Fair question....
It gets better when there's a 140 class 2.5 yr old in the same set with a 120 class 4.5 yr old.
I think that 'wall hanger bucks' hunters will take the 140 class buck because....well....then are looking for a bigger wall hanger before they are looking for maturity. Again, JMO. Good question.

how do you know that in the next coupl years he wount gain 20 to 30 or more inches? then that would make him a world class P&Y, i am not sure of the state record there but in a couple years he might beat it. if he were to walk under my stand anywhere, he would get thumped though. no matter how old (except 1.5)

I see him as at least 4.5. Look at the slope in his back. I really don't care I would still shoot him

This is a great discusion topic. I personally believe this deer is 4.5 years old at most. Im all about QDM and everything and i can pass up a 3.5 140 or even better but this deer would be my biggest deer ever.
Luckily im the ONLY person who will be able to hunt this buck (unless he travels a long distance) so most likely this year the only person that will be able to harvest this buck will be me (or anyone i bring with me to hunt). Of course theres natural causes of death, poaching and cars, but if i dont get a crack at him and he survives these other obstacles he truely could be a recordbook deer in a year or two.
Only time will tell! All i know is that hes on my list of shooters this year regardless of age
