Big enough to party. I'd guess around 150"

Thanks all! Seems to be a general consensus here and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone also.
He used to be a main frame 9, and I guess still is, but now has a kicker on the right and split brow on the left for 11 points. Deductions will slaughter the net score but I couldn't have asked for a better buck, I have years of trailcam pics of him and always recognized him by the tear in his right ear. I'm surprised he was still around as I hunt very nice but very public land. I used to drool over his pics and say an extra prayer or two - shocked I actually got him after all this time, never saw a hair of him last year but of course I cant find any of the old pics from any year. The two pics I provided are the only pictures I have, I deleted some sloppy cell photos after getting those.
I'll be sure to update the thread with rough score if I get one from the taxidermist. He has a day job like the rest of us and unfortunately has a son sick with Leukemia.
so his schedule is.. you can imagine.

Ain't worried about net score. It'll still net P&Y. 150"
The long walk sounds like Public Land. Was it? And congrats on a great buck.

A side pic would be helpful to be able to match points. His gross will certainly be a nice deer, but the asymmetry that I can tell from the two pics would be serious deductions, probably around ~15".
Find an OM in your area and have them put a tape on it: http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgRecords/records_omlist.asp?area=bgRecords

I think he's a little over 140. Dandy buck, congrats!
And also rewarding symmetry.

Yes public land in the form of county property. I'm part of an urban program where bowhunters help control the population. I was hunting much deeper than most.

I scored a very similar buck just this morning.
I'll guess low 150's gross.
Congrats!
