1) the camers operator set the date wrong
2) with just this one picture I'd call him easily 3.5 but more likely 4.5 years old
3) I'll gess him at 167". (I'm no pro though) I love the rack! it has tons of character. Broken off brow tie and a sweet little sticker.

1) I think that the "date" actually is the 5th picture at 21:30 or 9:30 p.m.
2) With that veiw age is hard to tell but I'm guessing 3 1/2 or 4 1/2
3) I guessing grossing between 138-150.

Very nice buck.

1. May 2nd very well could have the wrong date programed in though.

2. Hard to say not knowing what region he is from. His body isn't very large for a midwest deer, mid western I'd say 3 1/2. Southern states I wouldn't have a guess.

3. I come up with about 158 gross score.

I think you have a hell of a deer to hunt next year.......is what I think !

The 5th picture 9:30 deal sounds right to me !

Looks like a 4.5 year old !

Easily in the 150's .........probably better !

Great rack! I have no idea what the date stamp numbers mean, but I'd estimate his score at about 150.

This picture was taken very close to my home in an area I hunt that is not supose to have deer this size !

21:30 is the time - or 9:30 pm - could the "5" mean the 5th day of the month ?

I'm guesing 4.5 years old because of the sticker points and that he's a fighter with the broken brow tine. This area is hunted hard - he's a very smart buck to live this long and grow that kind of rack.
