I'm not very good at field judging moose yet so wondering how this guy would score?

I believe he would. Especially if taken with a bow.
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

What are his weaknesses?  I know his spread isn't great - what do you think it is?

Only weakness i can see when it comes to moose scoring is that his paddles arent that wide. But im definitely not a pro when it comes to judging moose.

His paddles aren't that wide and his spread isn't too big, he's a nice bull just not b&c but I am no expert either.

His right paddle is about 9" and his left is about 10"-11". He has great length because of the split brows, a 9x12 that only is lacking spread.

Likely around 140" and a nice bull for that area. :twocents:

There are plenty of bulls that wouldn't make b&c that I'd be happier to shoot than those that do.

Moose scoring is wiggity-wack   >:(
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Let’s guess this out...  40” width, 8” bases (16), 7” width on his right palm, 9” on his left (16), 8 points on his right, 11 on his left, and palm length... right side ~25” and left side ~28”.  Maybe 143” gross...  Not 140" net so just below B&C.
