jerdanmagic Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 This deer has me confused. In some pics he looks much bigger than others. He's got pretty good mass and height, but he is pretty narrow racked. How old do you think he is? What would you score him at? I'm looking for a name for him also. Any ideas? Name, Age and Score?

NY_Bowhunter14 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 not sure about age... (not good at guessing age) i would say he would score 145"+... and the name... how about "High Tower" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaDeerHunter Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Great buck! Hightower is overused IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herriman08 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 140 ish, as far as age maybe 3.5. And the name how about skyscraper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 135 to 140 3.5 like the dark chocolate horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Very nice buck, like the dark antlers too. Think that he is a 3.5 year old deer. Would guess he would score in the mid to upper 140's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach1 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 For comparison purposes...I shot this buck in '05 and it's rack is similar to the buck pictured. My deer scored right at 140" and we aged him at 3.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 My geusses... 3-1/2 yrs old...with Huge potential!!! 134-5/8" Varnish Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 He looks to be a good 3-1/2. I'd WAG his score to be 138 1/2. As for a name, how about "Ol' Pitchfork". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegz70 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 just to give you a better example....this is my buck from last year... and he looks similar...158" NET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadeocu Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'd say 3.5 too - 140 (not really good at this part) - Tall Boy, Canyon Rack or Max Headroom (remember that show!?!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hate to disagree with you all, but I think he's a tad older than 3.5. His bases are HUGE, his brow looks old and loose, and his body isn't as defined as a younger deer's would be. I'd say minimum of 4.5 yrs old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I would say he is either 3.5 or 4.5, not too good at age but I would say that he would score between 140-150. As for a name I like skyscraper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I think he's 3.5-4.5 yrs old. I believe he's 150s pretty easily, possibly pushing 160. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest browning8803 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 id say 4 years old and in the 140s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I will call him 4.5 yrs and 135 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineyBrake Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I would say 3.5 to 4.5 and 140's for sure. It is hard to really judge score with those pics. His mass and height are awesome, but he looks like he isnt really wide. He is great deer no matter what though and would spice up any wall!!!

Swamphunter Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'd call him backstraps..... he'd be on my "watch list".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 He's a great looking buck that has B&C potential. I'd say 155 gross 145 net at 3.5 years old. As for a name: well he's narrow (tight), but still very big. How about "Titan" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHunter Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 I would say low 140's i got an 8pt that looks like this, just lacking the mass., i would say he's 3.5 to 4.5, I'd call him Sky Scraper, or Mr. Brown cause of the horn color.

SpcNape Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 My geusses... 3-1/2 yrs old...with Huge potential!!! 134-5/8" Varnish Ghost This is the best name I've seen yet!! I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerdanmagic Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks for all the replies. On average, most people went with 3.5 years old and right around 140''. Thats what I thought on the age, but I thought he would be closer to 130''. I sure hope I can get him in the truck, and we'll get to the bottom of this. As for a name, I chosen to go with Mr. Brown. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHunter Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 YES MY NAME WINS......LOL, what do i win. i want a message just as soon as you kill him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKYhunter Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Maybe I'm crazy but I don't think that deer is very old, 2.5 I'd say. Neck is not fully developed. I mean there's hardly any blending of shoulder and neck. Not much loose skin on the face. And I'm going to say 140, not much width. That is an awesome deer with tons of potential!!!
