I would have guessed 143 - 145. But i honestly can just guesstimate, somewhat. I'm really mad at myself for not taking more measurements before i dropped him off. We'll see once i get him back.

I know that area fairly well. Big bodied deer and can take away from the antlers. Good curve in tines. I might be over on mass. I came up with 32” originally but added 4” thinking 1/8s would add up. Same with tine length. 1/8s will add 7-10” on a deer quickly! I shot an 8pt last year south of that area that went 147”. This deer looks bigger and says 150s all over it. Be interesting to see the results. I’ve been wrong many of times. Either way it’s one heckuva buck!

Mike and I hunt in the same general area and the older or mid aged deer in our area can fool ya those 2-5 inches in a hurry. I ve been out there 16 years and passed on some deer that were shot and scored later. I always underscore them. I missed em by 10 inches

I’m guessing around...142”
G1’s-3,3.5
G2’s-9.5,7.5
G3’s-9.5,8.5
G4-4
Split brow Kicker - 3”
Left base kicker -1
Main beams-23,22
Mass-28.5
Inside spread 18.75
It’s not easy guessing off pictures at times. No disrespect intended, if I’m short changing him.
Beautiful buck sir, those extras really stand out! Nice!

Wow! I wish you’d score some of my deer. Ha. I don’t know the area or the deer, seems like you do so I’m betting you surprise us all. I got him at 144” pretty deer and congrats OP.
