    So, finally getting around to this, took him Wednesday evening, let’s just say life has been it’s the past few days.
    Anyway, I have no clue how to score this fella, any tips?

    That curled spike does have some clearance between spike/skull.

    I would take them each as additional and your C1 on the middle (main).
    Gotta love bucks with crazy stuff going on. Congrats man.

    With funky stuff I find a string to be the easiest way to get a accurate number

    Anyone remember who it was that killed a similar buck a few years back? He was in the contest and took it to a certified scorer and they deemed it to be indistinguishable for scoring.

    Not sure if that would be a similar case here, was hoping to go back and see what they ended up doing for score.

    Definitely a tough one to score and I don't have an answer.

    My uneducated guess would be, left most point G! middle main beam and right one abnormal point. 3 mass measurements would be midway from center beams tip and burr and all be

    Kinda like this

    That’s what I was going to go with, I’ve only done a couple, this is a tricky one, I’ll just take a flat 200pts for the contest.

    I’m going to have to find some help, I have no clue what I’m doing. That mass measurement on the funky size is screwed up because of the curled spike on the back side, it’s 6 7/8”, other than that, I’m lost.

    Where do you need the help? I wouldn't be surprised at that mass measurement at all. Having such funkiness going on and everything coming from the same general area it will have greater mass than the right side. If you are meaning that points in the back are interfering, than you can always get a small wire and use it to wrap around it and mark the wire then measure the marks.

    Go with @cls74 suggestions if you don't want to take it to an official scorer. Using the middle point as a main beam and the outermost as G1 makes the most sense to me. The other two points would be abnormal.

    Now that a few non-team members have chimed in, I tended to agree and envision the approach @cls74 described as well. Your case is much "easier" to distinguish or declare" a 'main beam' than the one some cited believe was shot a year or so ago.

    Congrats again on an awesome buck with some serious FUNK bonus points LOL

    I’m sorry for the delay, I caught something nasty the past two days, how does 77.75” sound? Using the closest spike to to the inside spread. Measured all four spikes for mass(?).
    My score sheet doesn’t make much sense, but the top is the clean antler, bottom is the funky one.

    I’m also Leary on the funky side “main beam”, I measured the longest spike.
