Quick guess without any calculations would be 140s.
If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.

That looks like the same deer that was posted last year and a neighbor posted pic of same/similar deer...? It was NW of dfw along the Red.

mid upper 140s, mass and beams will fool ya imo... Yeah...mass is my real question. Our typical mature 10 pt. will be close to M1 - 5; M2 - 4; M3 - 3; M4 - 3...for 15 inches a side (30 total inches of mass). I really see minimum of 6 inches per M3 and M4...and maybe more because I have no experience with that type of palmation. But even with just 6 inches per M3 and M4 X 2 gives an extra 12 inches of mass. Would love to hear from someone who has a similar palmated buck in hand to give some good insight. Thanks to all who have posted!

He is going to score better than most think at first glance.
51-53 up top 94-96 on frame
145-149
I gave him 36 on mass due to M3 & M4 palmation allowing 4.5" all the way across on all 8 measurements.
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

my guess is 149. 40" of mass is what raises the score. I am pretty sure you will get 2-4 measurements that are at least 6 in circumference

I don’t think he makes 140. And I think he does. 142ish. Ground check him for us Perfect 8.

The length of the left main concerns me and may keep him in the 30s. Great mass. He is mature. shoot him!

The mass measurements may not be taken where yall think. A couple of those points COULD be considered nontypical and the measurement wouldnt be taken between them. Hes still cool though.

The only point I see that may be in questions is the G2 on the left side and I do think it will be scored as a G2 off the beam and not an extra point. Even so, the deer will break 140 IMO.

I don’t think he makes 140. I disagree. Post your measurement guesses. Here are mine. 51-53 up top 94-96 on frame w/36" mass 145-149

Rough at 143 not sure on mass though and main beam length. Thinking 145-149 is in the ballpark .

Think he is a hell of a deer regardless of the score
His left beam and right brow are weak, but his right beam and left brow are pretty strong. I think he caries some pretty good tine length and appears to have good mass, but i personally do not know how that would be scored. I'd sure be proud to decorate him with my tag!

Not really concerned with typical vs. nontypical on a point....but as a purely academic discussion I think the G2 is in fact a G2.

There was never any question about whether I was going to shoot given the option :-)! Headed that way for a couple of days...terrible weather (hot)...and bad wind...but this is my first and maybe only chance to get on him while he is pretty regular (pre-rut).
