Don’t know the score but that is an old deer. Diffidently a good one!!
One fiddy
In the high 150s if his mass is decent.His tines are longer than they appear but they are on an extreme angle.I really like his character hope you get him.And if so let us know what he tapes
Invite your dad over and you’ll probably find out soon enough:D

I believe 150 to be waaaay generous. I don't see a lot of mass when he goes hard horn. Nice tine length and fair width. Maybe 140 when it's all said and done.

Very nice young deer though.

Looks to be 4.5 to my eyes
He still has tine length to fill judging by pic date

I’ll say he goes 16 inside spread

19 inch beams

And a net 148

Fuzz adds ten inches of mass
The average buck, with his ears in an alert position, has an ear tip-to-tip spread of 16 inches. His ears will measures six inches from the base to the tip. The circumference of his eye is four inches, and from the center of the eye to the end of his nose should measure about eight inches. I am sticking with my 157-161 Gross. Lacks in G-2's but makes it up in G-4's. Figuring a 17.5"-18" Spread with 22 main beams.

138 ..Hes gonna lose mass when the fur falls off

I think he is one of those deer with thin velvet.If you look at the last picture his bases dang near touch and you can see all the bumps on them.You May be correct he may lose a lot of mass who knows I guess
Still a good deer
Not enough mass to hit 150's. Maybe 140's at best. All the velvet at this stage can be misleading. Get us some pics at unveiling and we'll get you better guesses.

Lets do the math. 22 inch beams, g1 4(?), g2 7, G3 10 (and still growing), G4 5 inches. 4 Mass measurements will be 16 but lets use 15. Spread of 18. 144
Like doubleliver I went back added it up, the 3s, 4s and beam still have a bit to go, brows and 2s are done. A mature buck has 14' mass and then go up as it is more impressive, like the 6pt with this deer. This a a really cool buck and one I'm sure I would stick if he happen past, No doubt a solid Pope n Young.

I also base my sub 150 in a 149 net 10 I have killed that is built the Samish...I also believe I know this poster and his dad and buddy Joe B., so my guess is he won't get upset with honest feedback, albeit from a picture!

The beams in the picture are not 20", not yet, IMO. so yes they could finish up around 22"...

beams 21
g1 4
g2 7
g3 9
g4 7
mass 16, but probably more like 15
64 side x 2 = 128
14" spread
142
