A real trophy ... congrats!

[Dman]

 Thanks again all. Unless I really hosed something up in measuring, he'll easily make SCI minimum. As promised, another pic.

Once again, great jod D-!  Fantastic buck!

It should make the 85  inch minimum

[Dman]

 Because of it's mass, we greened it at 120ish SCI, SCI has a 105" minimum from what I was told by the scorer. I estimated it closer to 125, anywhere in the 120 plus range puts it in the top 100 SCI. Never been a record book guy, but all of a sudden I'm getting more into it  -Is the 85" minimum Boone and Crockett? Everyone's been asking me where I got it, I'll just say Jackelope was really cold.....

95" typical
117" non-typical

if he typicals out at 125", he's a booner.
why'd you choose SCI's scale...just curious.

 I was just going to post, thanks. Got the scorer info second hand. The taxidermist friend my family has used for years belong's to SCI and includes official scoring for free with a mount. Can you submit for both SCI and B&C?

Was wondering the same thing.....why SCI?

I'm not seeing 125. What are your measurements? Just curiouse, probably just the picture, Looks more like 109 to me. I beleive 135 is minimum for B@C all time, 125 honorable mention. The washington state book is 125. Unless you shot it on the west side of I-5 then it can be entered as a western blacktail which is 110. Nice buck again!

The 85 inches is what I thought SCI was, but I have no clue how that system even works, I've always used Pope or Boone.  Though imperfect, they seem to be the standard.  I score him at about 103-105 Boone from my computer chair 200 miles away.  No need to be quoting scores, just be proud of a nice blacktail.  Very few three points score well enough to make book.

 True about that, very happy hunter over here. Being I may never be close to any kind of record again, I wouldn't mind making the SCI 95 minimum. The 125 was just out of my arse, just took the total inches off all measurements, which doesn't seem to be the accurate way to score. I'd be very happy with 105, or 109.

IIJust so you know, I wasnt trying to take away from your hog! Thats why I hate scores , I love to score horns for people but it does take away from a lot of bucks. Just dont do em justice. Bone, I was thinking 105 but didnt want to short change to much. SCORES DONT MATTER!!!! Dandy buck man!
