Scored this buck using photos on Microsoft Copilot AI

Estimated Antler Score
From the three photos, this appears to be a fairly symmetrical typical 8-point whitetail with good tine length, moderate mass, and an inside spread likely near ear width.
Photo-based gross estimate: 125?132 inches
My best single estimate would be approximately 128 inches gross Boone & Crockett.
Approximate components:
?   Inside spread: 16?18 inches
?   Main beams: 20?22 inches each
?   Combined tine length: roughly 49?54 inches
?   Combined mass measurements: roughly 28?31 inches
?   Abnormal points: No substantial abnormal points are clearly visible
The rack could move outside that range because the photographs do not provide a perfectly square frontal view, and several tine bases and beam tips overlap. A tape measurement is the only reliable way to score it.
For an official-style gross score, measure:
1.   Greatest inside spread
2.   Both main beams
3.   Every normal tine from its top edge along the beam
4.   Four circumference measurements per side
5.   Any abnormal points separately
Bottom line: approximately 128-inch gross typical, with a reasonable photo-estimate range of 125?132 inches. Nice buck.
