Man thats hard. Im gonna guess 185"

 

[180ls1]

200 next year.

 

[robby denning]

at a glance, solid mid to upper 170s

At first glance, seems like he'd score well, but then...no substantial brows, not-long main beams, light antlers, small body; all that robs inches

Could be wrong but I'd rather get ground swell than ground shrinkage

Good exercise

 

[roadhntr]

It could be close to 180"

 

[NRA4LIFE]

Not a lot of mass, I'd guess mid 160's.

 

[gonzaga]

160's...

 

[wildwilderness]

I would guess 175-180" looks like tall tines and the G4s will add a lot to the score.

Not a lot of mass, I'd guess mid 160's.

I see this sentiment mentioned a lot when guessing deer scores. There are 8 mass measurements and I would think the difference on each measurement is less than an inch between an average mass buck and an above average mass buck. Therefore, it seems like mass would be less than 10" different (and that's probably on the high side) between two bucks of differing mass assuming everything else was equal. I haven't looked at a ton of score sheets to see the actual differences, just imagining what an extra inch of circumference would look like on an antler and it seems like that would be a lot. Seems like it would be easier to add multiple inches to each tine, therefore having more of an effect on the total score than mass. Having said all that, I would shoot a tight-racked, heavy buck over a long-tined, spindly buck if they were standing side by side!

[7LRM]

I have no idea about scores, but he is a shootor foe sure

 

[huntnful]

G1's- 1.5"
G2's- 17"
G3's- 10"
G4's- 12"
MB's-20"
IS- 20"
Mass- 32"

173" Total

That's my guess.

Gorgeous buck, has a youngish look. I’d put him in the 175” class.
