Think Ben is right on the money. He's a few inches either side of 120" What you thinking age wise Matt? Close to maxed out or would you give him another year? Having a hard time deciding because the rack is so unique

Having a hard time deciding because the rack is so unique I want to say 4. He looks short and compact, but that is just his body type. He carries the characteristics of a 4 year old. Whether you kill him or not is your choice. If you normally wouldn't kill a 4 year old on this place then I wouldn't make an exception, but if he's of the age class you would typically kill, then go for it. He's certainly unique. He has the mass up top, but lacks beam length, especially on the shorter side. I bet that beam is only 17-18" with short tines. I'm not taking away from the deer, just stating a factor in why I agree with some of the lower scores people have suggested. I score a lot of deer, and don't see 130" any way you figure that one, even with the mass. If you decide to kill him, and get that opportunity, would love to see him.

I don't see the deer scoring 130" either. When I add it up Im getting low 120s. With the general consensus being that he is 4 years old, unless I have already killed a nice buck or two, I will probably shoot him if given the chance. If you and the others thought he may only be 3, I would definitely give him a pass and if y'all had said 5 With confidence i would shoot him no doubt. We aim for 4+ but if a buck has a lot of potential we try to let them walk. But I don't see him adding much more tine length or mass if he is already 4
