Default Rough scoring of this buck?

Hey guys, I am hoping some of you more experienced hunters could give me a rough estimate of what this buck might score? Been spotting this guy for 2 years now, lucky for him he is within city limits so he is protected, but I am pretty confident I have narrowed down which particular area he lives in, and will be searching for his sheds in the spring. Since that is still a long ways away I am just curious what he may score? any guesses?

Have a tough time with bucks this time of year, but I would say he would gross in the high 150's, low 160's.

Can you bowhunt on the north side of the hiway there? Willing to bet after this post, somebody or a few will be trying, this will be the last year you spot'em I'd be willing to bet, lol. 150-155 is my guess.

I may have seen him twice last fall if that's the one that hangs between Tims and Hospital street!
There is another big one like him around timberline though, he was in my son's front yard the other day!
Probably go high 140's - low 150'sonce his velvet is gone.

I would say no. He is well within city limits, downtown on the east side, Abasand on the west side, North to the bridge. All within the city.

The velvet does make them look bigger, that's for sure. For comparison, this one grossed 168 and netted 165.

Great looking deer..I'd say mid 150's. Velvet is deceiving

It's funny, I see all these nice bucks pre season, where the hell are they during hunting season? to much bush this far north... Or maybe it's me just me lol

Biggest muley I've ever seen was on suncor base plant 2010, no idea if he's still around but he sure was a beauty!
