I give him a touch more beam length on that head on picture but the tines do not get him over 40 imho. I think he is just under, 137-139.

IMO body size is one of the hardest factors in trying to score deer on the hoof, especially from pictures/trail cam pics.

You have 100 lb differences in mature bucks across the state. A 140 lb hill country buck that looks MASSIVE may only have 30" of mass, whereas a bunch of STX places have 220 lb deer who look pencil horned and still have 30" of mass.
