Nice typical my buddy found, We have a good idea on what we think he scores, what do you guys think he scores???? Is he worth shooting in your opinion??? Yes those are his eyeguards...
I'd guess 178. Great forks nice frame but about 2 sizes down from BIG. I would probably shoot him, just because of the deep forks and eye guards. Probably not even "probably". Yep, I'd pull the trigger.
Yeah, i too think this guy is a shooter buck. Before i give the score, what if this were a pure Blacktail? Don't believe it is but a Blacktail can look an awful lot like a mule deer at some angles like this one. Just a comment of relative size of a animal against the frame size of his rack. That's another reason why it's hard to guess a score from pictures.

its a colorado muley... and the buck has a huge body... prob pushing 265-270lbs
LAST EDITED ON Sep-13-10 AT 05:56PM (MST)[p]I'm thinking that he is closer to 190" G1's are 3-4 inches. I'm gonna say 189" gross. He's a shooter in my book.
that buck is knocking on 190 all day long....jeesh i want to hunt with some of you guys who think this buck is 160...i'll shoot the 160 bucks whilst you hold out for better.

Doesn't look that wide, but good forks, decent mass, don't look like many deductions. He's definitely in the 170's. Pushing 180? I would be suprised, 180 is a BIG buck- 190? hmmmm, be very suprised if he tops high 180's
That buck will score at least 185 with his tine length, and length of G1's. Has good beam length. Even though he isn't very wide for a buck of this caliber.
I have a 171" buck with a spread credit of only 21"... I'd say this guy has 2" more per antler (including eye guards)... SO I'd put him right at 191", less the smaller spread credit-
He's 188 4/8"
