RE: Score???
140's. He has a nice frame, descent tine length, not real long main beams or mass though. He's a nice buck. Being a taxidermist, and taking alot of measurements of bucks heads, helps to score deer from pictures and in the field. Not a perfect standard, but very close every time. Here's a tip that I have learned from this, and maybe you can use as well to score deer in the field. A buck's eye to nose measurement is an average of 7 1/2" from the front corner of the eye to the tip of the nose. I use this to compare tine length. His eyeball is average of 4" in circumference. I use this to measure mass. His ears tip to tip when alert is average 17 1/2". I use this for spread. The farthestrear point of hisantler beamto the tip of his nose is average 23". I use this to judge beam length. As I said, it's not perfect, but is very close ( usually with a couple of inches) every time.
