Too bad I am scouting for spikes.

Looks young to me except for what I see of his face.   Do you have a headshot perhaps?

2 more years and he will have the size and mass.... maybe not the points on his head though...  He could keep getting bigger and bigger, or he could regress back and be a raghorn by then too.... no real way to tell.. it is all in the genes.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

If that guy is in Washington, already has grey antlers and long ivory tips, and has that much weight to him I would not expect him to get much bigger.  I'd have to stick him to make sure - except for that spikes only thing :bash:
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Sorry, he did not cooperate. I was told he is about 7 or 8 years old.
I took this picture with a telephoto lens.

he is about a 300-320 class bull.  No younger than 4 years old and probably not over 6 years old.  In the next two years he will get a lot nicer and heavier.  Could be 350 to 360 in a couple of years with horn mass and length increasing.  Looks to have decent genetics.

One more thing.  As he reaches his potential the distance between his 2nd's and third's will be close to the same distance between his third's and fourth's.  Right now the distance between his third's and fourth's is quite a bit less than the distance between his second's and third's.  Still maturing.
