RE: Another "Guess the Score"
90 2/8 is what I came up with. My estimates were very similar to RJs, but I had the G3s as being shorter.
As for it being "lower" than what you expected, who cares? He is the buck you were after and you got him. Chasing after a single animal and actually taking it is quite an accomplishment I don't care how big it is.

I guesstimated 93". The scores you are getting isdue to not much tine or beam length, but it has decent mass.
FWIW, Over the yearsI've gotten to the point where I don't put much into "score" anymore. I've seen plenty of mature deer that might not score as well as a longer but more spindly tined younger buck, but I'll take the lesser "score" mature heavy-horned deer any day. You've gota nice lookingdeer there, regardless of the score. Congrats again.

Greg. My gambrel has a scale. To be perfectly honest....he was "just" under 200#'s (a hair). If I had to round up or down to 195 or 200....I'd have gone to 200.....and he bled a liitle, too. Sue me! (j/k
) I went with 200.
I picked 'em up a short bit ago. MB's are 17-1/4" and 17". Inside spread is 16". I didn't go any further.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
While I was the taxi.....I saw this deer. I made a thread the other day .....touting what farmcntry is doing with the youth, here. This is the deer that a youth named Mike Mabe took......and his guide was Farmcntry (On a Youth Outdoors Connection hunt). This deer won first place in a local contest.....and our taxidermist is doing the mount. It just arrived, there, yesterday.
What a GREAT deer!
Congrats to the hunter and the guide! (and yes...I can hijack my own thread)!
