Will he make 140" ?

[kruppa24]

I think he is right at the 140 mark.

[Buck Slayer]

I say yes, but barely.

[Low Fence]

I’m with FND. 138” but a nice buck reguardless

[gingib]

please do not kill that future stud. Way too young.

He will not break 140

[stickman]

138-139”, 4.5 IMO. He is a good buck but will be a great deer in a few years. Hard to tell from those pics/angle but If he is 140” it won’t be much more than that.

[stickfigure]

I agree he appears to be right at 140. I believe he is probably 4.5.
Great deer.

[AntlerCollector]

138 3/8" and 4.5 years old

[TXDUCKCUTTER]

Right at it

If he is the biggest deer you have ever seen in the last 20 years, what makes you think you will see a bigger one than him? You may be passing up a great buck hoping he will make it to next year. If you don't shoot him I bet your neighbor will if he sees him. I would ventilate him if I saw him under the same circumstances you described.

[Big pig]

Very nice deer. 135”
If you want to shoot a big, mature deer, next year or two he will be.
Good luck.

[MEsquivel]

If he has a good spread. I think he'll be right at 140.

No doubt the neighbors would shoot him if they see him, but its a chance Im willing to take. He may get hit by a car or caught up in a fence too, but I cant get him to 5.5 or 6.5 if I kill him now. Odds are probably against me seeing him next year, but I will roll the dice. There are plenty of 5.5 year old straight 8's and plenty of doe to kill to put meat in the freezer.

I got 138. Spread keeps him from it

I'm looking at him and thinking of my 139 from last year. This one will break 140.

[bear]

I can't get him past 135" but he may have a bigger body or be different than the deer in my neck of the woods soooooo--- nice buck in any case
