I believe that would be a 10-point in PA. The changed the rules on how to count the points here and I can never remember what they are. Even though I look at the rules every year I just seem to forget it right after, must be my rebellious side.

Most people, like me, are probably just looking at the photo of a very nice buck and really have no idea on how to score it.
Congrats on a great buck...10 points and good mass to the antlers, but I can't give a guess on the score.

Can't really tell about the spread but I would guess 125- 130. It looks like a 16" spread, 20" mainbeams, G2's and 3's in the 6" range and 4"-4. 1/2" circumference. Let me know how close I got.

I don't think it would go over 130. But, I am not an expert either.

Judging from the age of the buck, I'd score it good, but will need a little extra time to let the marinade do its job.

133 +/- gross.
If it were a southern deer, I'd guess 123. Less than a 15" inside spread, tines are close together so ~19" main beams, average length tines and mass.

I'd guess around 120 but I'm used to looking at Coues deer and am not much of a scorer anyway.

I didn't know you counted the eye horns, I thought it would be a 4 Pointer Western Count and an 8 pointers Eastern Count.

I would guess around 130 as well. He has decent width, but not a lot of height on his tines. Definitely a nice buck!

Another guess of 125-130.

Without measuring it's really hard to tell. Hard to get scale from the pic also. It's a really nice buck, but tine length is a little short. I'm in the 120-130 group. If you have approximate measurements, here an easy way to get close.....

Here's a 135'' from that site.....

I think 130-135 is going to be in the ball park.
It has good width and good mass. Not very tall though, so that'll hurt the score a little.
If you get it scored, let us know how close we are.
And one more thing. Don't judge a trophy by the inches it scores. I read your other threads. I know that's your first buck with a bow and that's a fine accomplishment. It's a great deer regardless of how few or many inches it scores.

ill score it in a few days, im not too concerned about the score i was just wondering.( i went to hunt a buck and the 10 seconds i had to draw back and take him i then realized i didn't know anything about antlers. he was the oldest one of the group not the biggest but i figured i would leave the younger bigger one to spread those genes.) i am taking care of the meat first before the rack. it is a nice mature deer and i just thought i would get a buck because i never have.

I guessed it at just over 140.
Let us know what it winds up being.

Wow! 142? From that picture, I'd have never guessed there was that much bone. I was going to say 125-130 max.

I'm kinda with everybody else, 140 tops probably more in the 125-130 range. My 8 point is similar and is a 122" so I'm guessing a little more due to the extra tines, but then again my 8 is a bit taller so it may be a wash. My guess 128 7/8"
Wrong again...I need your taxidermist to measure my 8 pt...
