I don't know if my Tucannon buck qualifies as a great frame but he does have real weak fronts. I think some better g4's would have really helped.
25" wide, he was 150".

Here's a cool buck. Trashy bases. Missing tine length.

 Score doesn't mean much to me, I prefer a buck with mass, even if it has short points.

 I helped my brother get this buck on his late tag, he passed it the first day but I was able to convince him it was bigger than what he thought. Like a lot of guys he was hung up on width and a perfect frame.

 Long story short, its a main frame 4x4, has a 3" and a 5" point and still scores 170", right at 40" of mass, 5 7/8" bases. :tup:

Here's another, 29.5" width, good mass, just no points! All in all a great buck, just lacking in score.
My biggest fear is when I die, my wife will sell all my guns for what I said they cost me!     ;)

Beautiful deer all. This thread just reinforces my belief that scoring antlers is a stupid practice. Awesome animals.
