No, that's not a moose. That's a whitetail from Kansas that has yet to come across a hunter. But that's about all we know about this mature buck.

What do you think its rack scores?

without seeing him head on that is tough but assuming he is wide from the looks of his mass i'll bet he goes every bit of 165+

That is a really tough picture to judge him on.  Looks like he has real good mass, yet can't really tell how wide he is.  Hm.  I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 165.

I think he might push 190 if he has long brows and even decent width.

I will bet that buck will rack up close to 50 inches in mass measurements alone!  Mass is where it is at when scoring deer...it is the single best way to rack up big scores.  I haven't seen many deer with more mass than that.  I will say that mass will push this buck past the Boone and Crocket minimum of 170".

Let's see....eye circumference = 4.5", ear length = 7"....left side: G1-G5 = 34", H1-H4 = 24",  25" beam, 17" spread....I'm guessin him just over 180" Gross.  He's got good tine length, great mass, and appears to be a typical 12....any way you add 'em up, he's a Booner.  No way that deer is in the 160's, unless something is broken off on the other side.

Width is WAY overrated in antler scoring.  The difference between a 20 inch wide deer and a 15 inch wide deer is exactly 5 inches.  That is one measurement and it is pretty insignificant.  The mass is many measurements and they add up BIG TIME.

Well like many have stated it is tough to judge with out the other side in view.  But if the mass is as good and the spread is out side the ears I would guess high 170's to 180's.

Great deer regardless of score.

I'm thinking 210 gross and about 194 or 195 Net. Doesn't look like many deductions from the pic. The 8 circumfrences look look close to 60 or70 inches alone, assuming the other side is the same.
On a lighter not, I may let him walk,
cos' next year he might be a biggun'
NOT!
Assuming I didn't have a coronary as he was walking to me, I would tap into any talent I could muster to harvest this majestic animal.
Good luck to all this season.

high 160's. Won't be much for deductions, for sure.

P.S. I think deductions are such a stupid idea
