This buck had pretty good tines, but not much width. What do you all think he ended up scoring? Is he an opening morning taker for anyone? Is the lack of width a turn off?

I'm getting antsy to get after it in the high country!!!

Even though he has decent fork depth, he isn't real wide and has marginal brow tines.

I estimate him to be at 178"

However, I would be happy with him on my wall.
 
Great looking buck. I don't think he really needs much more witdth.I would have to agree with that 184 - 185 range
 
I would guess 186 188 I would shoot him in a minute if I had a chance, would like to see one like that in Gunni.
 
I'm not seeing it I guess. That buck is average mass, weak inside spread which will hurt him. Overall a nice buck no doubt, but I would say 174"

I'm thinking he is one of those type bucks.
I sure wouldn't turn him down opening day or last day.
He got that look that makes me a trigger puller.

Well Brian you have gotten guesses from mid 170s to 190. That's a 15 inch difference. Are you going to tell us what the actual gross score is?
 
176

Lack of width doesnt bother me nor did it effect the score by much imo.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-27-19 AT 09:18AM (MST)[p]You asked if it's a 190 or 180" buck. I wouldn't think it would make it out of the 170s but sometimes mass can be deceptive on video. I would think somewhere in mid to upper 170s.

I never put a tape on him. I guessed him to finish at about 185ish.

The buck was killed by Dave Welch and after seeing my video, he realized it was the same buck and sent photos.
He scored the buck a 191-7/8 gross. The inside spread was a hair better than 20-inches. 186-2/8 net if anyone cares about that.

He finished better than I would've thought, or maybe I would've been hunting him.

Wow!
He put on another inch or so on each tine after the video.
That puts the one of us that guessed 184 right on the money.
That buck has some super sharp pointed tines. I would name him

Thanks Founder that was a fun one.
 
That crow in the mouth is never a good taste!

I would have guessed 180"+ but I would have been low and tasted crow too.

Seeing the field photos, I'd guess it's a 180" class buck. Never would I guess that to be a 190" buck.
It does have some "WOW" factor but for me, it doesn't have that "HOLY CHIT" factor that a typical 190" buck should have.
This is a good reason why score can be over rated.
With that said, he would be a no brainer on a general season unit and probably on the hit list on several LEs.

Yeah, he doesn't have so much of the WOW factor because of his narrow spread but has a bunch of it in other areas. Those main beams are deceptively long and hard to judge because of how much they curl back in toward one another. A lot of score right there that can make up for lack of width twice over. That was the first thing caught my eye on the video was the long mains.

Nice call.
