I’m not great at scoring and it may just be the picture angle, but that buck is bigger than 114” in my opinion. If he’s got 22-23” main beams and 17-18” wide like I’m thinking, he’s easily mid 120’s with that tine length.Narrow but has excellent tine length and appears to have good mass. I’d bet somewhere in the low 120’s. This buck is 114 for reference.

aside spread is 15" at the most and those beams aren't over 18" or 19".I’m not great at scoring and it may just be the picture angle, but that buck is bigger than 114” in my opinion. If he’s got 22-23” main beams and 17-18” wide like I’m thinking, he’s easily mid 120’s with that tine length.
2 ways to view a trophy if you will, inches and age. I am as impressed by big scoring deer as anyone but have more appreciation for hunters that consistently kill mature deer. Not everyone has access to areas that produce high scoring deer, everyone can hunt age.My son has his eye on this one, of course he had lots of pictures of him in velvet and he looked much bigger. After seeing him shed off he is not sure, I told him he is better than anything he has killed and there would be no shame in harvesting a buck like that with a bow. I was also figuring 115 or so.
I think we’re talking about 2 different deer, I was referring to the buck in post #3. If you’re referring to the OP’s buck yes I agree with you.I
