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.

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

That buck is dead

I'm bad on main beams in frontal view but I thought 148"-152"
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I hope he is. I've eaten most of him.

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

" 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

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.
