While the buck has the width and height that everyone associates with a "190 inch" buck, this deer comes no where near that due to his missing g4 on the right and the "crabby" nature of all of his forks. If he hits 170, you're lucky or you are bad at measuring  :twocents:  He's a hell of a buck and you'd be a fool to pass him.

He's wide and tall but score wise he will gross 166-170.  He's actually pretty good on his backs, but like others have said, no G4 and then a weak G4 on the other side kinda kills him.  I shoot him in any state on most tags though.  Stud buck!

You're probably somewhat unfamiliar with how mule deer are scored.  It's a great buck but not close to 190.  Not close to 180. 

Huge frame and velvet are kind of deceptive in this case.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Nice buck ... Low 160 class and 26" wide ... And when I say low you'd Be lucky to make it over 161 IMO

One thing too...everything looks huge from behind (talking deer here, get your mind out of the gutter)

Still a nice buck.  I'd take him just about anywhere and anytime.

My guess was

Mains 22-21
g1's 2-2 "being generous"
g2's 16-16
g3's 8-8
g4's 0-4
Mass 37 "being generous"
Spread 22
159 gross
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

So MtnMuley, seeing as how I've posted these pics and video of this deer in his live state, I'd say it's safe to assume that I know of a certain basin that holds good deer.  I'd love to see a pic of the one that either you killed or the one that you know of that was killed, that you are saying is for sure this deer. I'm not sure where the problem lies with that since I already know where deer like this live.  :dunno: It isn't like you're giving something secret up by posting a picture of a dead deer. Please feel free to shoot me a PM if need be. I'm also curious as to what elevation the deer was shot at?  :tup:

And heck, why not post a pic of said buck on this thread for all to see what he looks like hard horned? Me and addicted2hunting saw him and his buddies without velvet but have no pictures from that day.

Thank you to those who took the time to rough score him via pics. I actually learned a little.  :tup:

If a harvest pic surfaces of this deer that would be cool.  If some lucky Hunter did kill him, I think it should be celebrated and pics should be shared. He's a great deer.  I know the basin we found him in holds more like him, cause I've seen them. 8) so I'll only cry a little.  :'(

I shot one in WY that is built similarly- huge frame but shallow forks. 167 net for mine and so my guess would be somewhere in that ballpark.  If he had deep forks it'd make all the difference in the world......still, I'd bust him in a second!  Gorgeous buck.

So all this talk about him being killed but no pics? What is the problem with posting a harvest shot? :dunno: If he was killed i'm happy as hell for the lucky Hunter and would love to see a pic.  :tup:
