Very difficult answer with that pic. I bet he's 135 (I shot one very similar) but could be a bit bigger.
That pic is very deceiving.

He is not wide but good tine length and pretty good mass. I would say 140 all day and like my guess a bit higher!! Shawn

Spread is the only thing that hurts him. Tines are long... 155"+ Easy.

I will go with the 155 to 160 now. I thought he was an 8. He is definitely a shooter no matter the score.

154 on the buck and $275 for the feeder? That's a solid 10, with mass beam and tine length - so what if he's not 22" wide he is 16" wide so instead of 160 he is 154... The beam length sweeping around and in make up for the more narrow spread.

Update on this deer. I hunted him the 24th, first day, he came in just like clock work, right at daylight. I had to watch him for 10 to 15 minutes until it was light enough and/or he would give me the angle I needed. Things were going perfect, until I took the shot (uhg) I was sitting down when I shot and my bow string hit left pant leg, putting the shot right over his back. He just ran off, hopefully not forever. This is the biggest deer I've ever hunted, so I'm praying for a better result the next time? Thanks for all the answers on the score. Bob
