I'm no good at scoring. Never have had any interest in scoring an animal. I see some numbers thrown around though on some animals that make me think the buck I killed last year is bigger than I think he is. Anyone want to throw a guess out on this one? Only measurement I took was widest inside spread, exactly 27".

Split the topic and gave this one it's on thread.

I am thinking the width is awesome but your spread credit is going to be limited by the main beam length.  I would guess this deer to be high 140's and maybe mid 150's.

Great deer for sure.

He's bigger than the 150" buck I killed. I'm going with 162"

My initial gut based on looking at pictures of others animals was always 160ish. Looks like I wasn't to far off.

I don't know. Like I said I have no experience scoring, this is more just to satisfy my curiosity. The Jon my guess is you have a fair amount more experience scoring animals than I ever will. He's somewhere between 142 and 165, probably falling somewhere in the middle.

Definitely not.  I've never used anything but instinct to shoot or not shoot.  I have my first good special/controlled deer hunt this fall and I better get a little better at the numbers game.

Last year was the first time I ever passed on a buck that wasn't a spike. I usually just kill the first legal buck I see. This buck got me thinking about taking a little more time though.

I agree he was gorgeous. I wish I had the funds to mount him. I should have saved the Cape but that was an after thought. The euro has a nice place on the wall in the office at least.

One thing that deer did was make me realize how little I look at animals before I shoot them. I had plenty of time to check this buck out before I shot, but per usual it went something like, "deer...buck...click...bang". Made me sad that I didn't take time to see him and remember him for what he looked like alive. This was the first moment I realized he was bigger than I thought he was.
