 So, I finally got my hands on an SCI score sheet and think I've got the system down, dang Bucklucky you are a good study on that, looks like it will be right at 109 SCI/ 105 Boone. I think I'll put him in head and horns in Puyallup in 2008 -anyone done that before? I heard one horror story of a guy's mount being knocked around on display.

i took some horns over to monroe last year and they were treated fine...but they could be dropped or something at any time...sh1t happens you know.

[Dman]

 Can't you handle them yourself, you know, be a little selfish and ask for no-one to move them and to call you if they need to be moved?

[jackelope]

no. i wouldn't think so. there was a big line, and they lay your horns on the floor and pick them up to measure when it's your turn. you take a number kind of sort of. i left the horns for like 3 hours last time. i came back after a couple hours and they hadn't even touched them yet. this was at monroe. i saw a lot more horns at puyallup than i did at monroe too.

if it makes book, $20.00

Nice buck.  I'll call it a 4x4.  Looks like his brow tines are over an inch to me.

[Dman]

 Thanks Palmer.

 Which book Josh? I know he won't make Boone's 110.

 I won't take your money anyways, just buy me the teal Huntwa ballcap, -you know pull your Mod strings 

 If not doable, I do always accept coffee donations....

I think it was the northwest big game records book. can't remember for sure, but it had the same measurement requirements as B/C if i remember correctly. i took the head of the deer my buddy killed in '05 because he wanted to score it and had to work. i was going to the show and only live a few minutes from the fairgrounds in monroe, so i took them. if they were my horns, i'd remember all this for sure.

it appears to be the same minimum requirements as B/C
i meant they charge $20.00 to enter into the book. i'm not charging $20.00.
the time i spend digging up all this crap is worth  way more than $20.00

Why are you giving bucklucky the credit.  I'm the one who gave you 105, he quoted 109.  Hell, I measured the whole rack from my computer armchair 200 miles away with my speial digital measureing tape.  I should get the $20.

[jackelope]

i don't care who gets the $20 as long as i ain't giving it.
i'm going home now to  make venison brat's with the crazy neighbor.

p.s.  You're killin me again.  Its kind of hard to measure them if you don't let them touch them.  As jack said, $hit happens.  I had them bounce a 148 elk antler off the floor this year and it broke the tips off of two.  Bummer!  They are volunteers at these sites and they have to measure countless deer those few days.  I know the pressure they are under as I have done it.
