I'd guesstimate him at 136 net.

Good guesses! I ended up scoring him @ around 141. It's a massive rack. I ended up putting the sheds on a fake skull from Gander Mountain.

Yep, I was going to say 140-150. The lack of a brow and tine really drag the score down like the others said. Big pair though regardless!

What did you use as a inside spread?

6 inches?? The shortest tine (not counting the broken brow) is 5 lol. The longest is actually 10 6/8. There is only that one tine that is less than 6. I just measured the greatest spread on the inside of the main beams with a measuring tape and came out with 21 6/8 on the head. There's no way to say how big the spread actually was though since they were just sheds. I just made my best guess as to what looked right. The outside spread is just a hair under 24 inches.

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.

Thanks for the follow-up post. I had figured about 156 gross for the big one, using 20" as an inside spread. I though that some of the "guesstimates" might have left the spread # out

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
