Alright I am what I call okay about it. I was within a inch of the buck I killed this year. We got this pic from our game cam in Brownwood Texas. Now it was from 08 and we didn't kill the buck and we don't have the lease anymore. I was just lookin to see who all had a guess and who tries it or does it in the field and how close ya get!

I'd say that buck is in the 135 class range, 140 tops. Great brow tines and nice inside spread but he appears to lack tine length on his 2's and 3's to push him over the 140 mark.

I don't ever bother trying to put an exact score number on a deer in the field. I just try to estimate the approximate score range of deer on the hoof especially if they are mature.

You southern boy's and those small bodied deer throw me way off. I am too used to comparing horns to the central Illinois deer. But a guess would be 130-135

Body size will make a bucks rack look smaller or larger. KirkV makes a good point. I do know that there are large body bucks down south as well as smaller body sizes. Also velvet makes the rack appear larger. I think scoring bucks this early is real tough. However it is still a lot of fun to guess...... I think he's about 125.
