This is a really nice buck! Congrats on your first kill! Definate mount. And i totally disagree with above comments. I wasn't aware you can score a deer by looking at a picture like the pros above can!From what i know about scoring it looks about right defiantly in the 150. What they are forgetting is the mass of the horns. And look how long the tines are. I do know that a deer is not scored on how much it weighs!!! haha. Don't let people hate on you this a beautiful buck especially for your first kill!!! I'm pretty sure you had it scored by someone and didn't come up with a random number. Once again congradulations on this buck!

I'm not knocking on anything, it is a very nice deer that I would be glad to shoot but I think the score was off. Congrats again, it will look nice on the wall.
Great deer and your first. He will be hard to beat
