Help scoring

I'm terrible at guessing scores in the field. We couldn't decide if he broke his G2 on his left or if just wasn't there. I know the pics aren't that great, but if anyone would like to take a guess for me. :not-worthy My buddy has a tag and he couldn't decide if he wants to take this deer when the season opens. Thanks for your help!

What tag does your buddy have? Is it all about the score for him? This buck looks to be a 140 class buck, but tough to tell from the photos. Respectable for most people, especially on a general unit. Good luck on the hunt.

No he has shot deer smaller than this one. The score doesn't really matter much to him. We were just trying to figure out about how big he might be. He has a general unit tag, so I'm sure if he gets the chance he will take this one. Thanks for your input.

Looks to be either broke off, or looks like a little tiny point like he tried to grow a G2 but didn't quite pan out. :)

Looks fairly young still

Actually he has a G2 on BOTH sides........remember the G2 length is measured from where it leaves the main beam to it's tip........you can never have a G3 point without G2 (on same side).

As for the size of the deer......he's a young buck, IMO....that would measure in the 130's.

Thanks for the replies. Do you think he is 3 1/2 or even younger than that?

Based on body size and antler mass....I would say 2.5 to 3.5 years old.

I agree with everything BOHNTR has said.

Thanks for the input. Still plenty of time to try and find a better buck before opening day.

Too hard to tell from these pictures. Regardless, it looks like a young deer. He could have some potential in 2-3 years.

Yeah young buck. I would say everyone is in the ball park on score. Too bad he won't make it another 2-3 years. :( :>/
