Hard to tell with a pic. Looks light on mass, but with the trash. I’m guessing gross around the 205 area. Maybe a little better than that. Damn incredible deer.

OK. That model 70 looks tiny inside that rack. He's 200". Those back forks are kick ass. And the width. 30" inches easy. Very impressive buck.

Not meaning to be one of those guys" but that buck is nowhere near 200" Maybe closer to 150" than 160". Decent trophy though.
When applied by competent people,with the right intent, common sense goes along wayt

That's the only deer that I ever killed with that rifle. That deer is way bigger than 190"... I bet he grosses 205-210" ish... I don't know squat about scores but putting the rifle in there adds some perspective. By thunder what a whopper!

Not sure if I'm doing this right, but the widest outside to outside point that I can find.

I'd say 200 ballpark. My best is a hair over 195 and I'd say yours is a mite better, maybe 210. Hard to tell. He's a dandy anyway. I'd get a cape and have a shoulder mount done if I were you.

Mass in severely lacking. The measurement that counts for score is the widest inside point on front beam. He flares decent should still be a good measurement

Guess I need to find a B&C scorer locally. I'd never enter him, but I would like to know. I had a caribou that "made book", but that one WAS stolen while in military non-temp storage along with all my other Alaskan trophies. I'm STILL pissed about that.

Scoring isn’t that tough. Use that tape you have a follow what nvhntr posted. You may not get it exactly but you’ll get it pretty close.

Bufaf: Good for you on re-finding and originally harvesting that wonderful trophy! Could you hang a 24" ruler on the eyeguards of that rack and I'll get back to you. Again good for you. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

I don't know what he'll score but that buck qualifies as what I call "a wall-hanger". I never get tired of looking at big mule deer.
