What's going on in the top pic on the passenger side?  Is that a forked g3 or some sort of an inline?  Any side shots?

I was wondering the exact same thing ha

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:
I agree but since I waited 16 years for a mule deer rut tag I want to test myself at scoring deer by eye. After waiting this long it's all or nothing for me and I want to me prepared

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”.  180"

My buddies on the right is heavy and narrow with deep forks, scores mid 150’s. 210's"
Damn I'm going to end up shooting something that scores 120 if you keep screwing with me

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".
I'd be happy with that one one the left stud buck

19.5” Outside spread.

The weak spread makes it hard as this buck seems to have mass and deep forks front and back. I'm saying upper 150'slow 160's.  This one is hard but a shooter for sure

200-204.....ish

Nailed it!  202”.  You’ve looked at a few 😏
Nice. What was the inside spread?
Well damn I under judged that I blame the whisky. Just noted no drinking in camp until tag is filled.  I'll catch up tomorrow....

They are not.  Unfortunately,  I haven’t figured out how to kill a big one here.


Same here! I’ve killed a couple nice ones in WA but still haven’t hit that 180 mark
180 is my goal praying for snow. Best so far is 145 so passing a 160 will be hard. One of the reasons I wanted to start this thread. Time to train the mind lol

One more.  These bucks were killed 5 years apart - about 8 miles from each other and score within 3" of each other.   Completely different bucks and I think one is "way bigger", but they actually score very close.
See bottom buck no questions asked shooter top buck would shoot for sure but have to make sure. Judging off bottom buck I'm going to say upper 170's

The top buck scores 167” and the bottom buck was 170”.

The top buck has no eye guards and pencil mass, but has really long g-3’s and g-4’s and a fairly long inline.

The bottom buck would have been a stud if his passenger side forked normally.  He is essentially a 3x4.

It’s a freak.  Wildest buck I’ve ever seen in the field walking away.  He was a no brainer on the hoof, though.
