    Guesses as to how old this buck is and what he might score?

    Checked some trail cams this past weekend that I hadn't checked since November and was pleasantly surprised to get footage of this guy during the rut last year:

    And he seemed to stick around for about 2.5 weeks:

    Sure hoping he survived the winter and that some day I will get a horseshoe up my ass and catch him in daylight

    Also found the biggest set of whitetail sheds I've ever come across 6X7 with huge mass (no drop tines though) about 2km as the crow flies from this spot.

    Any guesses as to how old this guy might be and what he might score?

    Cool looking non typical. Love the drop tines! My guess is 5.5 years and score of 180 gross

    Hmmm, maybe not as old as some may think. Doesn't look like much mass on the main beams and they don't go past the ears, nice brows, but shortish on the rest. Great character though. Love the double drop tines. Methinks he'll be even nicer this year. I'll say high 160's and 4.5 year old.

    No clue on scoring antlers, but he's a beauty. I'd guess that's his 5th hunting season eluding press. Awesome character, thanks for sharing and good luck catching up with him!
