Looks really young you did the right thing and let him mature  :chuckle:
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

He'll be even better next season, but I know the feeling your going through.
Disappointments are inevitable, misery is optional.

I would say gross 125-130" his back fork on the one side is a leak weak other wise he would be 135" -140" in my guess.  He does have good width and mass next year he would be a real stud.  Can't wait to see him with your tag on him next year.  Try feeding him apples all winter and some mineral licks...

Beautiful buck. Im guessing 125 to 135. Have you thought about setting up a horn trap. He'll be dropping soon
