I blew up the pic a little bit. It looks like a 5 x 7 or a 4x7. Maybe 8 on the one side.

I’m not convinced that the photo isnt blurred for the extra tines on his left side.

I am not convinced it’s a deer, and not a jackolope!

I find it pretty common for low quality night time trail cam pics to make bucks look thinner than they are. Odds are I have some of the same stealth cams

Odds are that buck has reasonable mass for his frame but not a really heavy buck. It’s not a giant buck but a very solid buck with character I personally wouldn’t not hesitate on

Some of those things are probably the background (that grass or whatever it is), you can clearly see that for at least a “tine” or two, and some probably aren’t really there. It is often hard or impossible to say on this type of night photos what is really happening.

My guess would be a 5x9 also. So hard to tell but i would think a 150 frame with some stickers so a gross score of 162. Lol
