I just got this buck last week and plan on getting him officially scored after the 60 day drying period. I guess he's about 140+ but would like to know everyone's opinion. Not a monster buck but he's huge for Maryland where I live and it's my biggest buck. Thanks!

Tough to say because the way the picture was taken. Do you have any other pictures?

It takes a giant 8pt to make 140". I think I see about 130-132". But very hard to say from a picture with no reference. Nice buck! I'd love to have one just like him.

That buck will break 140. I have an 8 that grossed just under 140. Your buck is bigger. Congratulations!!!

I REALLY want to shoot a big 8 like that!
Great buck and congrats.
I agree with others.....close to 140, but likely a bit under. Hell on a buck though.

Thanks guys, I'm so happy with this buck, been bow hunting every day (except Sundays) since the season started Sept 5th. Got a couple does and a smaller 8 pt earlier this season but I never thought I would get a deer like this. He's not very wide, right at 17" but very thick and his points on either side are 9" and 10" long. I think he's 4 1/2 but I haven't pulled the jaw yet to tell for sure

I think he'll go 135 to 140.

17" wide and 9 and 10" points - I stand corrected. I will drop down to 135 others are spot on. Still an awesome buck - heck they all are

I say 130. But like others have said, a nice 8 point.

He has long beams that going to help him to 140

Definitely nice buck for our part of the country. Congrats. Pretty similar to buck in VA a couple weeks back but yours has a little more mass. If that 17" is inside spread like mine was I'm going to be right in there where some of the other guys are, but will say 137" gross.

his brow tines don't help him get to 140 .... I'd guess 136" great main beams

I measured according to Pope and Young and he's only about 126" after deductions if I did it right. They don't have you measure thickness of the points so a buck with thick, long tines would score the same as a buck with the same length, thin tines. Oh well, either way I couldn't be happier with this buck.

Astro-nets are for fishin. Gross score is only score that counts. I was going to guess 130-132. Congrats on an awesome buck.

136" gross. Nice buck!
Let's hear what the tape says and see the measurements as it's not quantum physics.

I think you are pretty close. Always enjoy the guesses! Consider pulling the center two teeth on the lower jaw and sending to www.deerage.com for true age!I Lived in Martland for 10 years and know very well you have a great deer! Enjoy!

Kelly Harris.. no wonder you never pull the trigger... you think they are all small. By the time you shoot one of those 140s on your place it'll probably make Boone & Crockett!
Did you ever score your dad's buck?
