Help Score this Washington Buck I'm chasing!

[dr.derek]

hm interesting guesses, didn't think it'd be this far apart

[The scout]

I would guess 170-175, kinda surprised you have so many daytime pics when he is hard horned. great pictures

Once7 they get over the 150-160 mark they get tough to tell1"-2" added to each point is tough to tell at that point and really adds on the inches when you factor in the mass as well.

With all that being said I am going to say 26 1/2"-27" wide and somewhere in the 168"-172" gross range.

Great deer, I hope you get to put a tape to him next year.

Awesome buck, cool that you've seen him multiple years and got so many great pics!

Jrebel's buck is a good comparison for scoring purposes.  Obviously the front forks are bigger on this buck, but the fronts are more narrow on this buck than Jrebel's, which costs this buck in three measurements - both main beams and inside spread.  Unfortunately he gets no credit for the great width in the back, which looks like 27-28" or so to me with the flare. Jrebel's buck is wider in front than back, which helps his score.  Jrebel's also has an extra 5" of eyeguards.

So here's what I get.  Awesome buck, just not a great scorer.

MB:  22/22
G1:  0/0
G2:  14/14
G3:  6/7
G4:  10/10
Mass:  32
kicker: 2
Spread:  20

105 + 32 + 20 + 2 = 159

Shouldn't that be 105+32+20+2= 161

Generally MtMuley and I are closer, but I'm going lower.  Under 170.  Short mains, and narrow inside spread.  Flare doesn't mean anything score wise.   Awesome g4s,,but backs are small.   Pretty deer to put an arrow through.  Thanks for sharing the pics

Sure looks like an eye guard on his passenger side to me   a good one too

[High Climber]

I see an inch or two more than couse' numbers everywhere except inside spread, 20" seems about right. I put him high 170's low 180's with an outside spread in the ballpark of 30", his left side flares way out! Great deer great pics!

Ya that, maybe my eyes are playing a trick on me though lol

[Karl Blanchard]

 I've got 78 on the passenger side, 74 on the driver side. 18" spread credit for a total of 170.  Only spread that matters when scoring is the inside spread CREDIT.  Your spread credit cannot exceed the longest main beam.  The inside spread is measured at the widest point between both main beams.   Just an fyi.  Fantastic buck and thanks for sharing!  Always fun to play the guessing game.  Especially when you have really good photos like this

They aren't, there is most definitely an eye guard on the passenger side.

I was within an in or two of coues I'd call it a solid 160" buck

[Bigshooter]

Pic 3 ears pulled back and he looks wide.  Way wider than he really is.
Pic 4 ears out and from behind.  99% of the time a deer will look super wide from the back but this buck looks narrower from the back.
My guess is 24 - 25 wide.
Score 165ish.

160-65 max
