This deer was taken in the Arcadia area on Saturday, Nov. 18th. Inside spread of 29.5″ and either 15 or 19 measurable points. Could you imagine if the whole rack was there. Lots of broken tines and the left beam.
Wow…
Wow…
That is a very unique rack. If a guy was into the record book thing, I can imagine he wouldn’t score very well with the deductions on the tines. The extreme width will also kill the final score 
But, either way, that is a great buck

Nice!! What a beast!!!

OK…quick question…if this is scored B&C and the longest main beam is shorter than the inside spread is the guy forced to take that measurement? Just curious…any measuring experts out there?

Could you imagine trying to walk through the woods with headgear like THAT!???!?
OMG!! That right there is a huge Deer. 
My hat is off to that guy for having nerves of steel while squeezing the trigger.

i think if I saw something like that comin towards me, I’d soil myself, the deer would smell it and run away

Same Pic is out on http://www.rivervalleyoutdoors.com buck pages (pg. 12 I think)
The Fillas shot this 15 point buck in Trempealeau County.
Hunt details: Shot opening morning at 6:50 a.m. The drivers were waiting to start when he came running from behind them. The buck was a complete surprise, as no one in the group, as well as many of the surrounding landowners, had ever seen this deer before

As far as I know Sunny, you get both. Inside spread at its largest, and the two main beams, the shortest of the two doubled, meaning you deduct the length that the long one is over the shortest, if that makes any sense…. 
a beauty by any means of measuring

SunnyD-Correct. If the inside width is “greater” than the main beam length, you lose the width measurement

Zimmy-Not sure where you got that, but I have sitting here in front of me my score sheet from my 2002 buck. This is the official Boone & Crockett measuring rules.
Under “Instructions for Measuring Typical Whitetail and Cous’ Deer”
Section D -Inside Spread of Main Beams is measured at a right angle to the center line of the skull at widest point between beams. Enter this measuremnet again as the spread credit if it is less than or equal to the length of the longer antler; if greater, enter the longer antler length for spread credit.

Also on the scoring sheet it states-“Spread credit may equal but NOT exceed longer antler”

Amwatson- You are actually wrong about that.. You do not lose the inside spread credit if it is longer than the main beams.
The actual rule for Inside Spread of Main beams is:
The Spread Credit may “EQUAL” but not “EXCEED” the length of the “LONGER” of either the two main beams.
So you do not lose the entire spread credit, only just a little bit, if the spread is wider than the longer main beam length.
That’s the rule..
Hope that helps.

Amwatson,
you got two more posts in while I was writing my post, You found the right info,
You just don’t lose the whole spread credit.
IF your spread is 30 inches, and the longest beam is 28″, you write 28″ in the Spread credit box, So you really only lose 2 inches of your total Spread…
I can not get any more clear than that..
thanks.
Jack..

That is what I meant 
I didn’t mean you lost the entire 29.5″, but you do not get FULL credit.
Whatever
