I posted a couple of pictures earlier in the week of this buck but didnt get much love in the way of help scoring him.

I know the pictures are not the best but I am trying to get an idea of how big this deer is....

What do you think he would score and how wide do you think he is?

As you can see from the photos, this deer has a lot of mass. He carries his mass from the base to his tips. I think that is what I like the most about him. Either way this deer is my project this season.
 
Mass doesn't add all that much to score. The pics aren't stellar...looks like about a 26" wide 175-180 type deer. Great buck for a general hunt, and still a shooter on many limited entry hunts. Let's hope you can get your hands on him and let us know how big he really is.
 
If you like him let the air out of him. People get so hung up on score anymore. While yes a big number is nice, the memory of the hunt every time you see that buck on the wall means more than some book imo. If he tickles your fancy, shoot him.
 
I agree completely... I like this buck a lot. I like his heavy mass. The second I saw him I knew he was the one I wanted. Thats why I said either way he is going to be my project this season. I just wanted to get an idea how big he actually is. He is by far the biggest deer I have seen on this general unit (over the counter tag). Regardless of what these mmer's think he scores I am going after him.

I am not good at judging score, so I wanted to get an idea from any of you.
 
LAST EDITED ON Aug-22-13 AT 06:59PM (MST)[p]I like this deer as well, somewhere in the mid to high 180's is my guess

edit... looking at it some more I am now thinking 178-180
 
He's easily got several inches on my 172" buck... He's gonna make 180" if he makes an inch...

No way I'd be walking away from that old boy... :):)

27" and 175-185 would be my guess, I hope you find him and make him take a dirt nap. Then we can all know what he scored.

I do not think he will make 170, but he is better than any buck I've seen this season. I'll be curious to see how he measures once you get your hands on him. Good luck.
