Here is a buck that was hanging out near a house on a service call. What would this buck score?

190ish main frame with 20 inches of trash. Geesh, look at the main beams on that thing. Easily 210.

Anytime you get to scout up a buck like that is a good day....180ish mainframe and 198" with the extras, 34" with the cheaters.

I think he's wider than what's listed.
If his ears are 7" from base to tip (most big bucks are closer to 8") I'm seeing at least an ear-length from ear-tip to end of cheaters for 14" outside of ears; add that to at least a 22" ear-spread and I get at least 36" wide and I wouldn't be surprised to get 37+.
Also, his inside spread looks to be about 25", so getting 6 inches beyond that each side isn't hard for again, at least 36".
Finally, without cheaters, he looks to be 30" on the frame, I can get 6" pretty easy out of those cheaters to outside spread.
Am I overestimating him?
