Here is a picture of a buck we found this weekend. Is he a shooter?

Depends on the state. Judging by your name I’ll assume Idaho , so now it depends on the unit

In NW wyo- sure. In Southern/Central Wyo, not so much. Around 70- looks like a 12-13" buck with 5" bases and short prongs.

Keep looking. 70-75 seems about right.

Low 70s, maybe 73

Neat looking buck, I would guess he's mid 60s at most. 13-14" length, 3-4" flags, mass 5" 5" 2.5" 1.5" = 30-32" x 2 = 60-64"

Thanks everyone. What throws me off is the prong's are well above his ears and he looks thick above the prong. I thought that might give him a third mass measure below the prong? He's in unit 60

He'd need to lose a couple inches above the prong to get that third mass measurements below the prong. He's a great looking buck, and has a nice proportionality to him.
