I never had my avatar buck scored, but the taxidermist guessed him at around 115". He had good tine length, but a narrow inside spread. I should score him someday....

One thing to remember, just because a buck has a narrow rack, doesn't mean he will score a lot lower. The spread is only one measurement and the difference between a 16" wide rack and a 19" wide rack is only 3 inches. Although the 19" wide rack may look a lot more impressive at first glance than the 16" wide rack, doesn't necessarily mean that it is. My cousin shot a buck 3 years ago with a 15 1/2" inside spread and he scored 184 3/8" Gross NT. That's why I don't understand when clubs put a width restriction on the deer they harvest. Just thought I would throw that out there for you.
