28", body is not huge but the buck is a monster - shoot it and don't look back.  Score ?  Wouldn't know, wouldn't care.   That's just me.

Very Nice buck!  :drool: He is a nice 27-28" buck. He has very semetrical sides which will help in Official Scoring. His back beams are each 9-10" long, and his fronts are 5-7". He doesn't appear to be very thick horned, but that isn't too big of an issue.  I would guess him close to 180".  A very nice buck. He will probably field dress at about 225lb.  :dunno:  After she shoots him, will you let me know how close I am.  :dunno:

Nice looking buck.  I'm just not seeing anything above 160.  I think he'll be in that 28" range.  Hope you guys put him down and worry about the rest later.

Bigger than any buck ive ever killed! To me a shooter for sure! Not an expert judge ( ive been on a lowball streak so far this year), But I would estimate width between 26 and 28 inches. solid forks, but a bit weak in the front and mass is weak. I would estimate 163. Actual score TBD! Body Weight: Gonna need help packing! PS not trying to thread jack but if anyone has pointers on field judging muleys feel free I need all the help I can get.

I think we are all hitting pretty close to the same numbers.  I am getting him at 26 or 27 wide, upper 160's gross score, 4 year old deer, can't give you a guess on the live weight (I've never weighed one)...
He's a great buck, and I'd fill my tag on him in any state...

Great pics, makes it bit easier. Im willing to bet he is 26 wide 4 1/2 year old. As far as weight goes you know he will be right at 275-300 alive. He will put on about 10% more by peak rut. he will score at about 160, maybe 170 green. Never the less, a great deer! He has diff genetics than his running partners, a few things stick out to me. The color of his jacket, no brow tines like the other 4x4 and diff facial structure! He is the elder in the herd, but that 4pt with brow tines will be a great deer next year. I have a feeling that big boy might be tough to catch up to or find come season. You have shown your hand to him twice now, I dont think he will be at the next poker game. Keep us updated!!!

The big buck has brow tines.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

29 inch spread , 182 gross , 5 1/2 years old 180 lbs field dressed . If you give him two years he'll be a stomper , no way thats a 160 inch deer .
