Good beams and 3rds get him close to 140, but I think he falls just short.

 :yeah:

I think he'll be just shy of 140 as mentioned previously.  Good beams and tall, but lacking tine length on his brows and g4's.

 :yeah: I was going to say they are a lot easier to score after you shoot them! I'd agree with the majority here.

I have a 145" eight point whitetail at my parents and I have had my hands on many 150+ whitetail deer, based on his ears and body size. I would put him at 4 1/2 yrs old and close to 147".  I give him 65" per side + 17" spread relative to his ears.

Thank you all for the education! I would agree that he would be much easier to score with antler in hand... may be next year!

Pretty good night time illumination on that cam there, never seen the results of those cabelas cameras.  What kind of a detection range you getting out of them?

A 65" whitey shed is a hell of a shed. Nothing negative towards the poster of this topic, but that isn't a 65" shed on the side of his head. :twocents:

For comparison to some who think it's in the upper 140's.  I harvested this buck last year.  He's 152 0/8" gross, and 144 6/8" net.  His g2's are 10 6/8" and 10 0/8", and g3's are 10 4/8" and 9 0/8", and brows are 7 2/8" and 5 5/8".  Probably a tad more mass too, but not enough o make a difference.

The buck pictured is a great deer, but just in the brows he's probably 7-8" smaller combined, then his g2's and g3's are probably another 8" combined smaller, maybe more.  Add that together that's 15-16".  Deduct that from mine which is 152, that's 136-137" gross.

Mid 130's was my instant impression. A 130 class white tail is a great buck in my opinion, good luck on killing him!

I don't know, he seems too tall to not break 140
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

This buck is over 21" inside spread. Taking him to Spokane the 22th of Dec. to have him scored and entered into the P&Y book. I have never scored one before, I gave this one a try. I think he is in the 140's, a friend just looked at and said 170's. I don't think he's that big. But my best buck.
