Meet SuperWide! Score??
 

I have about 75 pictures of this deer this summer and I will be chasing him soon. How wide do you think he is and what do you think he will score?

that is impressive! Good luck!

I think that's more than 30 inches wide. Very impressive. Maybe 160?

165 give or take. great looking deer!

Great looking deer but no way do I believe he will score in the 160s as he is only a 8 point. Mid 140s

Beam length and spread will give him a lot. He's got decent mass and his tines are decent as well.

good deer! better then anything imma get a shot at haha :biggrin:

thats gotta be at least a football field?

this one is 27 inch wide and grossed 163. 27 inch beams 13 inch g-2s.. i dont know where you are located or how big the bodies are on your deer this one dressed out at 240

Looks like dandy steaks to me !!!

Good deer for sure
 

If my guess is close then here is what I come up with. Lets just say he is 30 inches wide. 26 inch main beams. G2s 8 inches. G3s 6 inches. Mass 6 inch bases then 4 inches then 3 inches on each of the next 2 mass measurements and he would score 148. the weak tine length is why I belive this is close. Never the less GREAT DEER

I agree high 140's. Rather short tines, to score real high. It takes alot for an 8 to make 150.

I LOVE giant 8s! :hail:

They truly DONT score for crap, but that doesnt mean they are any less of a trophy. (giant 6s are even rarer & MORE hamstrung by the sheets) In fact if I have an option & there is a 150s 10 standing beside a 140s 8, I'm bustin the big 8 everytime. 150 10s & 12s are much more common than honest mid 140+ 8s!

It's always tough to tell mass in velvet but that ol boy sure looks to have some REAL mass! Spread, I'm gonna say 25" +/- 1" & I'd say he'll gross in the upper 140s, maybe even 150ish.

GREAT & unique trophy for sure, :party0005:
HL

145" gross....25" wide............pictures can make a deer appear bigger or smaller depending on which way and how close the deer is. I think a case can be made for both with these pictures but like others have said an 8 pt needs to have exceptional everything to make 150 and this buck lacks the tine length. I would not pass him though.....HAHAHAH

That is impressive..I would say between 155 and 160..Any 8 point that scores over 150 is an exceptionally big deer if you ask me. Good pictures too!

Don't get caught up in the spread. Spread only accounts for 10% of the overall score. Awesome deer though I'd shoot him in a heartbeat

I don't get hung up on score. This deer is unique to me cause he is so wide. I have guessed him at 25" wide and 130-140", maybe a little higher. I've killed higher scoring deer but nothing wider than 22" so he is my #1 target buck this year based on width.

No no I was trying to say don't get hung up in the "spread" not the overall score. I'm a hunting guide and I try teaching all my clients about scoring and how to better field judge a deer before taking a shot. And alot of guys get hung up on how wide the buck is rather than tine/beam length and mass which add up more on paper than the spread width will. That's all I was getting at there. I deffinatly wasn't saying he wasn't a shooter or wasnt a awesome buck cause he deffinatly is!! I guide all types of guys/gals who look for different things when searching for a throphy. Some like wide some like high and tight racks with alot of mass and some like split tines and drops and anything else unusual. I also have clients looking for deer over a certain score. Everyone has their own view and opinion and in my profession I deal with it every day lol. It makes no difference to me. I get just as pumped up and happy when I see a 11 yr old boy kill his first buck scoring out at 120 as I do a veteran bow hunter stick a 198.

Hope you get him this year man good luck!

Why do you call him superwide?




















just kidding

Don't have a score and wouldn't care.If he walked in front of me I would shoot everything I had.Nice deer.

i bet he scores a bunch of venison chops and a ton of trimmings. Great deer, young and healthy should taste great!!! Don't get hung up on score thats a great deer no matter how you look at him.

Don't have a score, but by comparing the antlers to the size of the deers body, i would say the inside spread is at least 30in, G2 11-12in at least and G3 8in at least, the only thing he lacks is G1's so i dont follow where these others guys are coming from with saying he has no tine length, maybe in pic 1 which looks to be earlier in the summer than pic 2.

Wow he's way out there !!! hope to see him on the ground.
