I would say a 135 or so. Nice buck. Even better next year, but it would be hard for me to pass that up honestly. If its on private land, leave em to grow!

He's on our private land, but only 400 acres, and the only spot I get him on camera is on the border of neighboring properties. I have photos of him last year, I'd say he was 2 1/2 last year, likely 3 1/2 this year, so Honestly I don't think its in his genes to be a true monster, but he would look just fine on my wall....

I say 129" net but I agree to let him grow. He's got lots of potential but likely won't breed much this year. Let those genes keep flowing. A year or two more and he'll be a slobbernocker.

Here's 2 of many photos I had of him last year, he has gained some mass this year, but not as much as a buck of his size should. He's also extremely thin this year, I would guess last years hard winter didn't serve him well. Here's the deal, he is on my property, but sadly I only hunt this property for 3-4 days each year. So the chances of him and I crossing paths is pretty slim. Every surrounding property is hunted, so his chances of survival are slim, given everyone around almost still hunts bucks only, and shoots any sized buck that comes along, this guy would never be passed up, and to be perfectly honest if opportunity knocks with this guy, I would take it, because he is bigger than any buck I have shot. I have seen some true monsters in my life, but have never had a good shot opportunity on a giant. I refuse to take iffy shots. There is plenty of other bucks walking this property, though this one is one of very few 10's as most are 8's there.
