But I would guess 140-150 like k9-hunter already threw out

Put a tape on him and let us know

Lol I deduct about 15" for southern deer and its usually put me pretty close lol

It would score as #1 or #2 for me without comparing directly.

I never understood deductions for differences in sides or adding inside spread, its just air not antlers


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Anyone agree?

Yes maybe a little close to 145-150 gross. Good beams and good mass.

Measure him up. My thoughts his score will be helped by his mass. Hurt short beams, broken tines.

I rough score him at 135 ". Hard from Picture but:
23" beams = 46
Spread = 15" could be 16" he looks tight though.
Mass: 10"+9"+9"+8" = 36" 5 inch base, 5 inch next two, then 4 inch final for both sides. I think maybe more carries mass out well.
Tine length = 38 inches 5" brows X2 / 6" G2 x2 / 8" & 3" / G3 / 5"

46+15+37+37 = 135 ish. Gross

I recently shot a 147" gross 12 point, extra points help on gross.

If you break 140 it wont be by an 1/8". I would say low 30s.

I always gotta know. Otherwise it’s just guessing lol. Right? An online printout, string or wire and a tape and 15 minutes will tell the truth. I have an official B&C 1/4” wide tape that helps but it’s a luxury. I got a (true) 145” 5x5 behind the house 11:45 Saturday morning!

Nice buck you got there, whatever it scores!!

Maybe mid 130's would be really close. A good one though.

Our deer dont have much mass so that is hard for me to judge. That deer does not have much tine length. I agree - low 130’s
