Thats a great buck. I would say between 135 and 145. Good Luck stickin him!

I think you're all a tad high. I gave him 18" inside, 22' main beams, 3" g-1's, 8" g-2's, 7" g-3's, and normal circumferences and came up with 125-130, but more like 125.

An 8 has to be pretty big and heavy to make 140.

Nice buck for sure.

I agree 100%

I am going to say your buck in around mid to low 130s

Just for reference....
The following pictures are of a buck I had on my property a few years ago. I have both shed so I know what they measure. GIVING HIM A 16 inch spread HE Grossed around 139 and nets around 135

He is a dang nice buck. I was thinking around 125-130. He just doesn't have the mass to go into the 140's.

He would look darn nice on my wall though.

Very nice deer. Think the brows are more than just 3 inches. Look at the deer's ears to gage the lengths for comparison. May not have great mass yet, but think that buck with the good width and tine length may be a little deceiving especially when looking at the beam length with how it curves back in. Bet he will likely go at least 135 possibly higher gross.

Actually after comparing close to the pics Todd posted here, I am going to stick with 135 or higher gross. The pics of the deer you posted has longer beams, longer tines and a better spread, but just a little less mass at the bases ONLY.
