Have a good buck on camera that I will try my best to take no matter the score but curious what yall think he will go. Took a 153" off the same property a few years ago but he was a non typical 9 so hard to compare the two for a score but I feel like this buck is about the same size or maybe a little bigger than that buck was.

Big enough. Old enough.
Based on those pics, he's gotta easily be 150s.
Good luck with him.
What percentile would a buck like that be in your area? Rare or somewhat common?

Thank you and fairly rare. You see lots of 130"+ 8 pts but not a 150"+ buck very often. Hoping he stays on this pattern for another week and a half...

I always guess low
Thats the way I am. Im horrible with main beam length but based off of pics I'm thinking a 10" g2, 8" g3, 4" g4, 4" brow tines, around a 20" spread? with those and average 10 pt main beam it is scoring high 150's-160's but just looking at them I always guess low.

I'm not giving him 20" inside. Maybe 17". But his beams look nice and long in the pics, I'm guessing 24". I think he has about 17" mass per side. The rest of your length estimates are in line with my guesses.

I'm not going 20 inside spread either. 18 max. hope you get him. keep us posted. Now what do you think about asking about his age class?

I am nearly certain on his age class. 99% sure he is a either a 4 1/2 yr old or 5 1/2 yr old because I have seen him on camera for 3 years now since we noticed him standing out form the rest of the crowd. And year one he was a young buck between 1 1/2- 2 1/2. He was a stud last year but has put on mass since then antler wise and a little body wise too.
