I agree with the 180+ crowd. His back forks look like they start to split a little high on the beam but his fronts look good and his frame is awesome. Nice buck!

After reading the guess MM made that's usually way high, I'll stick with my 160s estimate. There are not that many bucks around that are what you guys are making this one out to be, but he's a beauty and one most wouldn't pass up.

175ish but the score doesn't do him justice. A deer with this type of wide frame is just awesome. I have seen better scoring deer that didn't have the "look" that this guy does. Hunt hard for him- you don't find these type of deer often on public land. Good luck and keep us posted please!

If he gets shot, it won't be by me, lol. After we blew the stalk on him, we never saw him again. We each shot a smallish buck later in the hunt, before having to head back to IL. It was a blast to chase a deer that size...maybe next year :)

I shot this buck in 2006 in Wyoming and he has a 19" outside spread and his bases are 5 1/4". I know what he scores and other than the width that the one in the video has and knowing he's in the velvet and this one isn't how about some guesses on this one.

He's really handsome....the buck I mean! I'd guess 168 1/8. What do I get if I win?

Looks very similar to this buck and he scored right at 170 so I am saying he is in that range.
IMHO your buck has much better forks, as well as better mass than the video buck will probably have after he sheds his velvet. Yours also has good brows, which I'm not sure the video buck has. My buck scored in the mid 150s and yours is a beautiful buck and about what I would have guessed he would score.

Man that's a dandy.. I would say 170-75, hard to tell mass exactly with velvet and on video. Solid frame, really a solid buck. Wyoming is producing better deer than Colorado it seems.
