Here is a good example.  This buck has an H1 (first mass measurement, not the base)  measurement of 8 2/8".  So when people say their deer has pop can mass, they may be exxagerating :chuckle:

Edit for the fat fingering :bash: :chuckle: :sry:

Sometimes they are closer than their guesses of weights on bears. :chuckle:

The issue with these kinds of games is more often then not, folks don't know how to actually score.  They calculate in outside spread, tip to tip, incorrect spread credit,  or they measure the mass incorrectly.  So the scores they claim may actually be off by dozens of inches.   Just a word of caution to the OP when considering some measurements  :twocents:
:yeah:
And wide doesn't normally help you.  Outside width means nothing.  Inside spread is where it is at and like I say it normally doesn't help.  Narrow inside will hurt you.  You are limited on spread credit by the length of the main beam.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Couple of bucks we got a few year ago.

Mine is on the left, nice, heavy and wide but crab claws, scores just over 130”.

My buddies on the right is heavy and narrow with deep forks, scores mid 150’s.

Here are a couple that I have shot over the years.

The one on the left is heavier in mass and scores 157".

The one on the right is wider and looks bigger but it scores 147".

Couple more.
Mine scores 130", broken tine, my daughter's scores 135".  The one my daughter shot looks way bigger because she is way smaller.  Photos are everything.

Mains 9" ×2=18"
Inside spread 5"
Not sure how many mass measurements he gets but I'd say 2 @1" so mass is 4"

Total =27" 8)
