Here is an old mule deer buck from the Ruby Mountains in NV. What does this buck score? He is 30 inches wide, but I'm not an expert on scoring mule deer. I've had these antlers for a long time Does he break 180 ?

30 wide with good brows. I vote he breaks it.

Great buck! A little bonus with those eye guards. Long main beams. He’s low 180s.

30” wide, giant eye guards, great forks. 185-190 my guess.

Hard to tell for sure, but I think everybody is underjudging this buck.

185+ those eye guards really help. He might be close to 190. Worth getting measured to see if he nets B&C, he's close.

For reference this buck nets 192 1/8. 30" wide.

Here’s another reference… this buck gross green scored just north of 180” and is only 25” wide….

Thanks guys. I'll post up the official score when I get the antlers measured. Someone lacquered the antlers many years ago. Found these antlers in an old barn. Doesn't look great.

With those eye guards I think he will break 180”. I would guess 184”.

When you guys are saying 30" wide I assume you're taking outside spread? That does zero good when you're guessing score inside spread is what counts

Why not just measure the buck?

I think he's 88" on his left side (I see those little sticker points at his base), 81" on his right side, and 25" spread credit... 194" Gross.

I think he breaks 180 no problem. Probably 185"

Mid 180s, browtines + extras will give you 8-10" (unless those extras in the last photo are from the buck behind him?)
