I'll just re-score it and take a new picture of it compared to one of the biggest bucks I have ever shot.

OK done.
The smaller rack scored in at 130 and change gross. That is one of the biggest bucks I have personally shot. I added it to the picture to compare with the other one.
The big one came in at 145 2/8 with deductions. Overall score was 162 7/8. FOUR of the tines are broken and I did not guesstimate for the broken pieces. That broken brow tine still had a little over an inch left of it so I counted that as a point. All in all it's not a bad deer.
I took it to an official P&Y scoring buddy of mine (The Founder of Bowhunting Magazine) just to look at and he said "That's the kind everybody's after". I put some new pics in this reply too.

Yea with 29 inch main beams alone there is no way that deer would only gross in the 130s or low 140s cause he has good mass also. I would have guessed him in the mid to upper 160s gross. I have a buck on my wall that has a little over 29 inch main beams and I am here to tell you those are really long main beams. He scored 192 and change
