Not a stud by the definition of many.

I have this discussion about skull mounts a lot. I like them better. I've been lucky to shoot a couple great bucks with my bow last season and this and other hunters can't believe it when I tell them I'm going to do a skull mount instead of shoulder. It's like they consider it an insult to the buck. To me the skull mounts look better and certainly take up less space. I do them myself. Pretty easy to do.
Great buck, congrats.

My guess is 130ish. Nice buck for sure

The pride and satisfaction that you've won. I might even hand out consolation trophies to all participants just so the snowflakes don't feel like they've been mistreated. But you're still off a touch. Going the wrong direction.

You're close enough bud. Roughed out at 129. I'm sure done properly he's a shade smaller but I'm fine with that too. Honestly figured 115 myself. Joker carried his mass better than I thought. Regardless, I'm quite satisfied and now the girls (wife, daughters and niece) are up at bat.

Hopefully they will all have safe and successful hunts.   That's pretty cool that the girls are getting after them.

My wife and I hadn't hunted together for several years until last year. We got a sitter and she came along. Killed her deer and I was happier about it than she was. Oldest daughter killed one couple years ago with a lot of help. This year I basically shoved her on the gun and told her "Good luck, don't shoot the corn stalks." She's quite the marksman for her age. Youngest is wishy-washy still. Niece is dying to kill one. Had a bad experience couple years back. Hasn't had a chance since. I'll probably take her the first day. Let my dad actually hunt by himself for a change.

You can't eat antler, I think any deer is a trophy.

That's a good buck in my book, shoulder or euro mount, both would look great.  Congrats!  He would not have walked by my stand twice.
