Guess the score........

[james_walleye]

133 gross

[matthothand]

129 7/8

[MUSKY18]

Lawdog was the closest, only off by 2 inches. Finished out at 140 6/8

[eyeguy 54]

sheesh, was gonna say 138 but too late. lol

[harvey lee]

Wow, I would never have guesed that high. Picture must not do it justice.

I have an almost perfect 10 with almost no deductions and almost the exact spread that was scored at 144. Tines are much higher yet only scores a few more points.

Must be a difference in how scorers score racks.

Not saying your deer is not that large, just don't understand the difference in scoring.

[MUSKY18]

I hear you Harvey. I never thought he would be that either. I was thinking right around the 130-135 range at the top end. Buddy who scored it has done it many times and won't [PoorWordUsage] the tape any, so I take it for what its worth. Of course, he isn't an "official" scorer, so for what its worth. Score isn't really important to me, he is a great deer and thats what makes me happy. Plus, he is filling my freezer with meat!!!

[Monkster]

Whoa! I shorted you 20", sorry about that Bret. I would not have thought 140" either, great buck! John

[bigbucks]

I saw this too late. I would have said very close to 140 for sure. I have one very similar that's 18" wide even that is right about 140 as well. Mass is harder to tell in pics, but he looks reasonably heavy. Very nice deer for sure. Good job Bret.

[HNTNBUX]

After going through the pages I wanted to get my guess in because everyone was short changing that deer. I thought it would squeak by 140 with the spread and length of the g4s.

Nice buck congrats.

WOOHOO!!! What did I win?!?!?! I actually had 140 4/8 and then backed it down to 138 and 4/8. Dang it!

[96trigger]

Its amazing what the G4's will bring. My brother shot a very nice 9 pointer, but it only had 1 G4 and it was only an inch long. Aside from that, very similar in mass and spread. His only grossed 129 when I measured it. I guess I can see 10 more inches from the G4's

[Surface Tension]

MUSKY18 congrats on the nice buck.

Thanks for not waiting a week and beyond to give us the score too.

[Sportland_Bait]

134 3/8. nice deer.

120 6/8

[Fever]

Musky, how long were the main beams? I shot a decent 8 pointer that scored 117 last weekend. Similar spread at about 18. My 8's tines appear to be longer but the two additional points on the frame I'm sure kick up the score dramatically. At first I was thinking somewhere in the 130's but depending on main beam length, mass, and the length of the g-4's I'd buy that it was a 140 incher. Congrats!

[fishuhalik]

looks a little bigger than my buck in my avatar, so i'm gonna say around 132"

[MUSKY18]

I don't remember exactly how long the main beams were. Forgot the score sheet at work, but will grab it on Monday and let you know for sure how long they were.

[eyeguy 54]

looks like 140 or close anyways with 20 inch beams and 18 inch spread. 5 inch G'2 and 4. 6 inch G3's and 35 inches of mass.

The main beams on him were 22 3/8 on the right and 21 7/8 on the left.

[Rapp66]

Hey Musky whats the score of that buck

[MUSKY18]

140 6/8

[Bear55]

The main beams on him were 22 3/8 on the right and 21 7/8 on the left.

Nice buck Musky18, those main beams and G4's really make the scores. Main beans are also the hardest to judge from a photo.

[Rapp66]

ausome buck congrats

[bmp78]

Nice buck musky and I agree a picture can be hard to judge a score. I would have guessed high 120's but it just goes to show the difficulty from a picture. Shooting it on public land makes it even more impressive to me which I believe you mentioned you did.

[MUSKY18]

Heres a couple different pics of him.
