Hi, I recently shot my biggest whitetail buck to date and didn't score him before dropping him off to be processed and mounted. Just curious to see what y'all think he might score and his age. I was by myself so I wasn't able to get good pictures of him after the kill.

Mid to high 40's with those beams and mass. I wouldn't be surprised if he Is close to 100 down.

agree on the frame being close to 100...low to mid 140's is what I got. Love that deer. And I'd call him a 5 year old

I'm with BOBO on this one for sure, holds mass and good beam length I would have to give the down side about 102 and the upside 42/43 very impressive buck.

Awesome deer, i think mid 140s and maybe scaring 150
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

I'm not sure where the inches are coming from to get him to mid to high 140s...he's a GREAT buck but his time length doesn't look outstanding so what am I missing? I figure he'll come in around mid 130s.
Again GREAT buck! Congrats!!!!!! And please know I in NO WAY mean to disparage this outstanding buck!

OK I got board in the office preparing for retirement so I scored the buck the best I could from what I can see. I was too generous in my down side a bit. I am seeing 94 inches on frame, spread and beams and mass. I am seeing 21 inches of tine's on right side to include abnormal and 27 on left to include abnormal total 144.

I guess I should have thrown this in there before. Don't know if it changes anything but his inside spread at his widest point was 23 1/2 inches. When I dropped him off at the processor the owner told me he though it would score about 155 to 165. I know he takes a hit on his g2 and G3 lengths for sure. It doesn't bother me at all if you guys are guessing him lower. He probably is around what the majority of y'all are guessing. I'm kicking myself for not getting his measurements but I guess I'll find out in about 9 months or so when I get the mount back. I hunted hard for him and no matter the size I'm proud because he was definitely the biggest if not one of the biggest on the property. I've been hunting the property for over 10 years and he was the biggest shot off the property to this date. Thanks again for everyone's opinions. I'm proud of him for sure. Just wish my dad was there to see me get him.

This year was a good year for me. Shot my first deer with a bow (doe) and wished I could have got this buck with a bow but he never gave me an opportunity.

Awesome buck, congrats!  I'm seeing about mid to upper 140s as well. Spread and mass don't give you as much as tine length and beam length in the B&C scoring system. Who cares on a great lookin buck like yours!  to the forum,

Just wish my dad was there to see me get him. I could put that deer on the wall with several that would out score him, and guarantee people would still fixate on him! We all talk score but at the end of the day I would rather kill the deer that looks the biggest not scores the most. He is one nice deer for sure!
