Default Will he make 160"?

Just curious as to what other members think. I have him rough guessed in that 155-160" mark. I dont see him breaking 160", therefore I am debating letting him walk for another year. What do you guys think?




Ive got tons of pics of him in daylight, and am contemplating chasing him with the bow. But if he wont break 160" I think ill let him go till next year and chase a different deer I have on camera.

He's a nice buck. My deer from last year had a similar rack with mainly scoring long G2's and G3's. He scored 146. I'd say this deer would similar if not low 150s.

I think your right in there. Good deer but one more year might put him into the next class.

I think your close in scoring him, I don't think he will make the 160 mark. Of course depending upon how big his g4's get.

That picture was last week. The camera went dead and than magically turned back on again, thats why the time stamp is wrong.
Hes done growing

Velvet shots are just so decieving. Based on that photo hes a nice deer. Velvet comes off I think he would net out about 147. Just my guess though

I got him right at 147-150. Nice buck but if you want 160+ I'd say you pass on this guy this year.

Very few will actually meet our expectations and grow to world class representations of the species. With out history, there is no way to determine the potential on a go forward basis as this could be the more or less where his genetics leaves him.

All the best and if your heart races, send the stick his way.

Nice mass and main beams....I'd be blasting if I saw it.

155" gross is what I see.
