Any game cam pics? Hard for me to score without some perspective from body size on a standing deer. Great 8!

I don't think you gave him enough mass. For reference I have very large hands.

90-92 down 43-45 up
133-137 so I'm going 135
Nice buck Congrats!!
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

they way I'd score him in the stand, being very symmetrical, I pick a side, multiply by two, add spread. G1 4.5, G2 12, G3 8, mass 15, beam 21, inside 18 = 139" total. Then release the arrow down range....

I was thinking in the low to mid 130s (call it 132). Really pretty deer.

Nice buck Congrats!! Thanks, break that down for me. I don't score many deer. Ill try to answer for ILuv. The "down" is beam lengths and beam mass plus spread of beams. Hes probably got about 21 per beam, 16 per side mass and 17 inside spread=91. The "up" is all the tine length. Hes proably got brows about 4", G2 11", G3 7"=44. 91 + 44 = 135. I think hes just a hair short on all of those but he is very good at this. So hard to tell without more angles.

From a low of 125.5 to a high of 142.75..........I'll get the Euro back and come back to ya'll with the score. Consensus at the lease by my two hunting partners that have scored a lot of great deer was a 130, and a 135. We didn't have a tape.

You said Panhandle buck and I always miss them low due to body size. He looks closer to 140 to me based on that. So high 130's from me. He would be a trophy 8 for me for sure. I like them symmetrical!
