I've scored hundreds of deer and that deer is mid 130s easy
Wow. I've got several 8 pts that would break the 120's then, that were initially scored in the 115's give or take.All deer get four mass measurements on each beam. Even a six point. Even a spike!
Harvested this dude Friday evening. Had some trail cam photos of him over the summer and had a few of him recently so I knew he was still in the area. Every year I plant a small .8 of an acre micro plot about 150 yds from a destination ag field that picked corn. I had him at 70 yds the Saturday before (10/24) at 4:00 pm but he fed for a while and went back the way he came. This made me think that he was bedded close. I decided not to hunt that Sunday due to a poor wind. I saw the weather forecast and Friday was showing a good wind and cool temps right after a front. Took of work that afternoon and he stepped out at 4:50 within range and I arrowed him. My buddy scored him at 126" but I'm going to get a second opinion.

That's a beautiful deer! Looks like a deer you could've made a movie where you followed him and watched him grow that mass.Harvested this dude Friday evening.
