Score This Buck?

You may be right......but I don't see the mass for 150's.

Hopefully Chris will post the results and we will all know :)

Me either. Kind of interesting that some who typically guess low seem high on this one to me.

Very nice symmetrical 10. I think you are all low so far.....I'm guessing in the mid 150's. One picture can be deceiving though.

I taped this one at 153". Pretty similar to the buck he is asking about. The buck Chris is asking about looks to have better 2's as well.....

From that pic Tom, would not have thought that deer would make the 150's. Deer looks to have about a 17 to 17.5 inch inside spread, 22 inch beams and no tine longer than 9 inches. Hunters gloved hand minus the thumb I am guessing is not much more than 4.5 inches, only tine I see that might be twice that is the left g-3.

Goes to show pics can be deceiving.

I was fortunate to help Tom and his boss recover that deer William. I was way off on that deer too. I guessed right close to 140 gross, but I was way off. Unless Tom's Droid app. was wrong, that thing scored 153. It is heavier than it looks in the picture, and I want to say the inside was 19". Main beams were exceptionally long.

Tom may have fudged a number or two just so he could bust my chops some more, but I don't think so. :D

Dunno bud, like I said I don't see it. Those beams look 22 inches could be an inch or so longer, sure didn't see a 19 inch inside spread on that deer. Like I said, look at his hands. That deer does have better mass I think than the one Chris posted, although Tom is right on the tines.

Maybe Tom could score my 2010 ml'er buck for me. lol.

I visually scored a thinner racked 10 point buck a lot like this in the low 130's. After I measured the gross score was 145. I laughed and figured my math was wrong. Added again and still got 145. I love mass (my favorite feature on a buck) but as far as scoring the other characteristics are what gets the numbers up. On closer inspection his main beams do look shorter than I originally thought. I'll go with 143 gross score.
