Benefit of a forum like this... I didn't know how to score a deer until I learned from guys on here. Hell of a buck GWR.

As I said before congrats on a great buck but it appears that you took the main beam score on each side and then also added the inches on main beam from the start of the G3 to the tips of the main beams. Google Pope & Young or Boone & Crockett and they will walk you thru how to score your sheds and the buck you shot.

I agree with Terrific Tom - great deer, but you have some extra point measurements as well as mass measurements that shouldn't be there.
This link below should help you score it correctly. Again, a big congrats to you on your harvest.

It appears to me this deer will score way up there. I hope you will get it scored officially by a recognized scorer. To me that shows more respect to the trophy. My son scores our bucks with a recognized score sheet but he is not an official scorer.
Many guys will wedge a 2 by 4 between the antlers to reduce the shrinkage. I have never had that problem - 'cause I have not killed anything close to this buck. I guess gross in the high 180s - maybe 190 gross.

Welcome to the forum GWR and congratulations on a great deer and a successful recovery. I participate on this forum because there really aren't any bad apples on here and everyone usually plays nice. A lot can be learned from the interactions on your thread and am sure every one of us learned a little. Thank you for that.
I look forward to hearing the entire story of how you hunted and setup to take this special deer.

Mature buck with a really unique rack and I wouldn't care what that buck actually scored. like Uncle Barry says, "...scores are for ball games." He'd be number 1 in my book! Great job on following through and making the recovery in challenging conditions. Congratulations, Mike

Heck even if it only scores 140, its a dead mature and found deer. Thats what matters imo. Good kill

Nevermind George's first post. He is froze up in Colorado and misses his Iowa bucks.
Congratulations on a great late season buck. We would all love to hear the background on this deer.
Coach put the brakes on me the night before, everyone got to fight and have fun but me it seemed. I woke up the next morning in an uncharacteristically knarly mood. The sun is back out and I'm doing better now.
