Help with scoring this buck

[Huntseverything22]

Does anyone know how this deer spread would be measured? I have put white lines in the picture to show how I would think it would be measured. I have always heard that spread is the measurement of the widest point of the main beams. Usually all my father and I score are typical deer though.

I'd say that you got the inside spread right. Good luck scoring that oddball.

That is a unique one for sure that I am not 100% certain about. I would bet that if 3 certified scorers measured it independently of one another, you'd get three different scores, possibly with significant differences between a few. There are judgement calls to be made on that deer that are not textbook by any means, which leads a lot to interpretation and personal preference.

We got right at 140" but that was just with giving him a 16" spread because we weren't sure. He would score 140+ if we measure him the way I have it marked in the picture.

Looks like a hard one to score but no matter what it scores, it's a very nice and unique buck,

Spread is always measured perpendicular to the skull plate at the widest spot. No diagonal measuring for example to make a 15" deer a 20" deer.
That's a tough one there

No matter how he's scored that's one Cool Buck
Congrats

His main beam would have to be determined, then as stated above the widest point perpendicular to the skull plate. Looks like there will be a big deduction on main beam length, comparing one good side to the other. Super nice deer! It almost looks like that is a tine, not a main beam. I'd call an official scorer, and get there opinion. Easy 45 could answer it.
