RE: 150 class?
how wide was he?
he has a lot of kickers.. I think the key word here is GROSS b/c he would have a lot of deductions. He is a very nice deer. Its just hard to say w/o a front pose. What is he a 15pt?

That cracks me up, that people would "deduct" from a trophy like that. Anyone I know would be pitching a tent, and I don't mean at base camp, to harvest an animal like that. That is a great great deer in any book, and to take anything away from an animal like that makes me laugh. I think that we shouldn't rely on the trophy guidelines so much when crediting a great animal.

Come on guys! You are taking the word "deduct" out of context! Gross vs. net scores are mostly word pictures, to show symmetry.
Of course anyone would be proud to take a good buck that grossed in the 150's! Its just that if he "nets" too low due to deductions, he'd be better off classed as a non-typical!

Anyone who really believes in "net" scoring is not seeing the forest for the trees.
Anyway, that's in the 150's very easily, no doubt about it.
A sidenote: if you use those silly deductions and "net" score your deer, is it possible to have a buck that winds up with a negative score? (Assume, for amusement purposes only that a buck can sprout a 3-foot sticker point, etc.)
