HOW LARGE IS THIS BUCK?
This was the largest buck from my cam last year in my hunting area. I don' t see many large deer here in NW PA so I don' t know what he would score or weigh. Any ideas are appreciated.

He is a at the most a 3 1/2 year old most likely a 2 1/2 year old with some good genes and potential to become a nice buck in 2 years. Let him live 2 more years and he has the potential to score near 150 with a good food source. AT this Time he is around a 100 to 105 score. He is missing tine length and mass. He aint even a bow boone and crocket yet. If you need the meat kill a mature doe. Now if he had age and the same antlers then he needs to be taken out of the gene pool. But he has a few years to prove his potential.

at a side angle you can' t see is spread or main beam length.using basic estimates of 20" beams,16" is you could score him about 120 gross since he is symetrical.as previously stated,he would be a fine buck in another 1-2 years if he could make it.this deer won' t get passed up by most hunters.nice deer!
