What would you guess this WT at??
« on: December 12, 2014, 03:59:01 PM »
This joker showed up recently, only he shows up at night.  :bash: Just curious as to what he might be in inches. :dunno:  Some of you that are good at field judging, can you help out?

I've never been that good at field judging, so let me know what information I can provide to help, or let me know how you came up with the score to help me become better.

thanks

I'm usually a little low on Bulls, right on with Muledeer and a little high with Whitetail. With that said I would guess low 130's
The mountains are calling and I must go

The 1st # that I came up with was 145"
 :dunno:
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I see he is right at the tips of his ears wide. Short G1's. Not much in his G2's. 3's are nice but the crab claw 4's are short. He has nice length on his main beams.

How are you determining the girth at each point on the antler?

I see average mass for his frame........16 is av., 17-18 is good, 19+ is awsome, over 20 being great stuff.

Good beams and 3rds get him close to 140, but I think he falls just short.

He will be over 140! 4 scorable points on each side plus main beams gives him a good score 146!
