i live in west tenn. and this is the biggest deer i have seen on our place. i killed one last year that went 140 but he was nothing like this deer at all. and they said he was a three year old. i just did not know about how old this one was.

not the best pic but he is for sure a dandy buck. if i would have to guess he looks like a 4 1/2 year old buck and he'll score around 155-165, maybe even into the 170s. great buck, hope you bag 'em!

First off he is a very nice deer and definitely a shooter.

I would have to disagree with the score opinions. He is a main frame 8 on the right side. The left side is difficult to see clearly. It takes a very big and heavy 8 to "net" that big of a score. His rack looks to be on the lighter side. With his right side as an 8 that's how he would have to be scored unless he is acored as an atypical. I do believe his "gross" score is up in to 160 inch area.

either way he is a deer that you can not pass on.

good luck to all

nice shooter for sure regardless of score. as far as age i am a firm believer that you cant accurately tell a deers age on hoof after seening tons of jaw bones from different bucks there are is no way to tell for sure. case in point last year my friend who is a taxidermist killed a 145 that weighed 125 lbs field dressed we all thought for sure he was a 21/2 but after looking at his teeth that deer was 4 1/2 his friend killed a deer off the same farm that weighed nearly 200lbs and just hit 140 that was 3 1/2

just my $.02

LMBO, there are no big deer in Tennessee:D.

Fayette or Hardeman county? Not too often that you see deer of that caliber around here, that deer would shatter all the records for the county I hunt in. In 15 years of living here, have only seen one that would come close to that one and it was a much older deer.

Some nice deer are killed every year down around the hatchie bottoms. Up here in the central part of the west end of the state, you just dont see deer get that big. Since you are in my neck of the woods, I would say that deer is definitely a 3.5 year old with some unreal genetics for this area, that deer had to have had the optimum nutrition available for growing bone.

The deer is at the very least 3 1/2 i really belive more like 4 years old. As for the score probably low 160's. He is definitely a monster buck and a trophy that will look great on any wall. Good luck to you and your buddy and shoot strait.
