A think most estimates are a little light.
I think you are right. This is a great typical buck. this is what I came up with and how.
g-1=10 g-1=10 Left beam =22 right beam= 22
g-2=11 g-2=11 Inside spread= 20
g-3=12 g-3=12
g-4=5 g-4=5
H-1=6 h-2=6
h-2=5 h-2=5
h-3=4 h-3=4
h-4=4 h-4=4 total=178
This may be a little high but I dont think by much very little in deductions. If you think my g points are too large. I am just going off of 7 inch ears and making a gage. good luck I hope you get him. That deer is champ!
