Got a monster muley for this area on my trail camera. Can't wait till Muzzleloader season now maybe I will get lucky and see him. Definite shooter but I was just curious what do you think he would score? I've never really been too good at judging I just know I'm going to drop the hammer if I see him that's for sure ...Buck of a lifetime for me

Quit being concerned with score. He's a great one and I hope you earn an opportunity to harvest him. Most hunters will never lay eyes on a buck of that caliber.

He still has a month of growth so it’s hard to guess score. He’s definitely a great buck and even the other buck in the picture looks to be a shooter from the side. I’d be happy with either buck and wouldn’t hesitate to drop the hammer on either come hunting season.

I’m not seeing it, he’s a great deer but I’m not seeing 190 out of him, he’s gonna shrink up some as his velvet dries and strips, he’s not very tall in the back doesn’t have deep backs, I don’t know what he’ll finish at but I think 175

I agree. I’m not trying to take anything away from the buck, he’s super cool. I can’t tell exactly what all is going on with his left side G2, looks like it may be split but it’s hard to tell in that pic. He has pretty good mass and carries it decently but velvet bucks are deceiving mass wise. He’s fairly compact overall. It doesn’t look like he’s going to pick up much with the extras, maybe 8”? It does look like he has quite a bit of growing left in him this year though. True 190-200 velvet bucks look pretty enormous on the hoof. If you get more pics before season post them up! Love seeing what growing deer turn into.

Definitely a cool buck with all the splits and extras. I agree he probably won't score high but that wouldn't matter to me at all. His character is great and he's a great buck. Hope you can keep track of him.

Great buck, with what he had in the pic, I'd guess 175-180. But looking at the bulbing on the tips, he's got more to add. He might break 195 when he's done growing. Either way, buck of a lifetime.

He is a shooter. But I am not picky....some years, for me, there are shooters ..and there are does.
