I'm not good with whitetail, just curious where this guy lands score - wise. I passed on him due to lack of width.
Guesses on Score?

Short main beams, but he carries his mass. I got him at 148. I also think he’s young.

There are better in here, I just haven't found them.

Thank you, gives me a better idea of what I'm looking at.

I can’t tell enough from the pictures, is he an 8 point or 10 point?
Based on what I can see he looks like an 8 point and I would guess around 120” maybe 125”.

I would say mid 120's maybe 130
Definitely not a 150" deer.

My son has a wall in his bedroom full of 120” whitetails.

A better side view. Pics were through a spotter. I've spent the majority of my time looking for muleys even though numbers are low here. Switched gears today and started looking over whitetails more seriously.

This is very helpful, thank you!
I still feel the same score-wise. 140 to 150" whitetails are hard to come by in Montana. It's definitely a nice whitetail though.

He was running a doe so I didn't get a great look but I'm pretty sure he's a basic 8. I appreciate all the replies. I have a special permit so I'm trying to be picky, but I haven't shot a lot of whitetail over the years. I probably would have shot him in a general unit. I did learn tonight that Rattle bags work really well on young bucks, had two small ones within bow range 10 minutes after rattling.

135-140 I’d guess. Solid tine length everywhere. Fairly average everywhere else.

148 might be a stretch but he has better mass, better tine length, and brows than any of those three that npaden shows pictures of.
On his right side I have:
His left side is a little weaker but very similar, with a kicker.
I’m probably 1-2” short on main beam length and I could be low on spread.
On his right side I have:
| G1 | 4 |
| G2 | 12 |
| G3 | 10 |
| Mass 1 | 4 |
| Mass 2 | 3.75 |
| Mass 3 | 3.5 |
| Mass. 4 | 3.25 |
| Main beam | 20 |
His left side is a little weaker but very similar, with a kicker.
| Left | 60.5 |
| Right | 60.5 |
| Spread | 17 |
| Total | 138 |

That is a beautiful 118"-120" buck.
