+1.
His back forks are too short to jump him higher. This buck on my wall that is 29” wide 8x7 and scores 183

In all pics there is plenty to eat, but he seems thin. Maybe older deer?

Nice buck! He's got a lot of height going on and seems like he has good mass (even taking the velvet into account). I think he grosses right around 180"

183"... he's an opening day buck on my LE hunt here in Utah this year. Great frame and a cheater.? Hard to pass that... not to mention having your kid there.!

I think people are way underestimating this buck. Good mass, good length, good eye guards with a kicker. I think he’ll go 194”

Give you all a hint, which I was way surprised on. Before I took the first measurement I told my dad that this first measurement will be a big indication of score. Main beams were 26” & 26 1/2”…

I know I'm low then I only gave him 23, that puts him over 190. Great buck congrats.

That is gonna add a chunk to what I had penciled out. He's probably right around 190" gross then

I had watched this buck for a few weeks and was certain he was over 180”, even when I walked up to him after the kill I was thinking low 180’s. But once I measured the beams I knew I was low on my guess. 26” beams and over 38” of mass. Over 6 inches of brow and 4 inches of trash can add up quick on just about any buck. Very pleased with being able to harvest him, probably my best all around built buck.
I really don’t put much into score, I’ll take a huge frame over score any day. Big frames just look more impressive on the wall. But I do like testing my judging abilities, it tells what a buck actually is, and helps you become a better judge in the field.
Anyways, thanks for playing. 190ish ended up being a pretty close guess.

The other deceptive thing that I forgot to include is even though the back forks are not that deep, the length of the beam before they split is above average.
