I think you are in the right ball park. He sure is symetrical, not many deductions on the net score. Nice buck.

Default nice deer

I like how all of his points curve inward. That will look really cool if he ever grows 170" of bone.

I would say high 147-153. He has sup cool genetics but I think his beams are a little short. One more year or so and he could be a giant. When points curve in or forward there score can be very deceiving, look shorter than they really are. Very nice buck thou.

I think you and your buddy nailed it! Id say 155ish. Gonna be a cranker if he develops a little more mass. Nonetheless id say hes already a shooter!

It would be hard pressed to make 150. Give him another year.

Given the mass and length I would guess right around 150 gross score.

135ish this deer is not as big as he seems.hes not even outside his ears that makes him about 16" wide,not much for mass just looks bigger when he is looking in the camera.beam length is only about 18" as it looks they just are past his eyes they need to extend out to his nose to get your score up.if you can give him a year or mabey two and you have one heck of a deer.that being said im not a horn hunter i would shoot him,but if your looking for a good wall hanger that deer is not it.
