I don't own a scale, but it was definitely a big bodied deer. I got over a 5 gallon bucket full of soon-to-be burger and sausage meat, and also cut out some big rump roasts and steaks, as well as the straps and loins. It's body was bigger than a 4x5 I shot in a similar area a couple years ago. Much more mass in his antlers too. I'd imagine he was 3 1/2- 4 1/2 years old.
I'm terrible at judging what a buck would score. For the pro's out there, what do you reckon this fella' would score???
I can post more pics too, if that would help.

He's much older than that. A heavy rack like that takes longer to build.

Public ground. First light. Had an intense stare down with him before I could confirm he was legal. Great hunt!
Very nice buck!
Dang, has anyone ever told you, you look just like Travis Pastrana?! It's almost spooky how similar you two look!!

Axle, I think you're right. I've been insanely busy since shooting that buck, but I finally took the time to look at his teeth as I was skinning the skull for a European Mount (just can justify spending so much on a shoulder mount). I think he was all of 4 1/2 years old, likely older.
Anyone else have ideas on what he'd score? I'm working in Sault Ste Marie Michigan for next couple weeks, but once I get home, I'm going to try and get a rough green score.

I'm a big fan of euro mounts. He'll look great any where you put him :tup:
