3.5
12 pt but I don't really know how to score that left side with the downward tine and funky g3. The beams are thick but not huge. I bet he would get close to the 135 range but it's a hard one. I like to see what a real biologist says vs a bunch of Internet experts.

He's a 14pt if you count that little g4 on his right side, you have to look close in the first picture but he also has a kicker that comes straight out, right above that drop tine makin him a 14.

i've got a better body pic i will post.
i hope to find his shed.
I don't see how all these "experts" can age and score deer from a picture. Hell I score deer all the time with a tape and cable and it's still hard to guess. I can get fairly close on a decent rack but one like that? From looking at the facial features on the deer Id say that's at least a 4.5 year old deer. Maybe even a 5.5 and starting to loose his stuff. Note the swag in his back. Thats usually not present in a younger deer except in the delta where a 2 year old can reach 200 plus pounds. As far as scoring goes I see only 13 scorable points. I would guestimate 160 plus before deducts. Doubt very seriously if he would net over 125 to 130 as a typical. To much abnormal stuff.

I agree with the facial features representing more of a mature deer. The pic was taken in Feb., normally after the rut for that area so that could factor in with the weight issue. Btw, heard any birds up there wap?

No, I have yet to go. I've got pictures of some mature birds with ropes on em. But i've yet to go chase em.
