I'll throw mine in also. He had that little extra pt, but he was big bodied and I just love the wide 2pts.

https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,232386.0.html  This is a huge 2 pt. (plus eye guards) shed I found.  I wish I could have found the other half.

That little third point killed him!

Looks like a healthy 2.5  :tup:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Hard to say for sure from just one shot but I wouldnt put that buck in the mature category.  Slender waist, small chest, thin horns.  I've been fooled before though.  Thanks for sharing your pic daddyelk

In 2012 I was hunting in NV and passed up a 28 inch wide 2pt with 4 inch eye guards.  A guy camped next to me ended up killing it.  NV aged it at 6.5.  There was another guy camped next to us that killed a 150's 4pt.  It was aged at 3.5.  The 4pt's body was was huge compared to the 2pt.  The 4pt was 50lbs heavier at a minimum.  He also just looked older big huge wide head.  Big gray nose.  Big deep brisket.  It just looked like a giant old buck.  Maybe the 2pt had bad antler and body genetics?  I just deleted a pic of the 2pt about a week ago off my computer.  It's the most impressive 2pt I have ever seen.

I feel you on the deletion thing.  Few months back I attempted to organize pics on my phone into catagories.  Long story short I ended up nuking about a decade worth of deer pics.  I was able to retrieve some more current ones from friends and FB but apart of me died that day :'(

Nice idea Jonathan_S!   I'm loving those super wide forkies.  Several awesome examples.
