Guess The Score

[Jonathan_S]

Well... yeah there is supposed a difference but sometimes online there isn't

I dont know that I’ll ever have anything officially scored but the number does put some perspective to the size. While both could be “big 4 points” there is a difference between a 150 inch buck and a 180.

Yep, 30" of outside spread

Wa. buck 2012

It looks like a 160 ish buck, but a very nice buck I would be happy with

It scored 162 

162 net or gross?  That had to be net.

I love the heavy deep forks and the split g3's are awesome.

165 1/8 n/t
162 2/8 gross typ

 Love it when guys are honest with their scores!

 And that's to say previous posts are not honest, I just appreciate a guy that takes the time to get a legit score and not embellish it, or add in the widest spread.

I think I saw this in a text somewhere.

I love to put a tape to every deer that comes back to our camp.  It's tons of fun around the campfire.  One guy reads the score sheet and writes down the numbers as the other one is working the tape.  Anything over 120" I take to the sportsman's show or run it out to Russ's house to have measured to get a real number and verify that we did it right.

Karl mentioned it in his post, every deer is different.  It is great to see what they actually score.  The tape doesn't lie.

To me it's not about score when I shoot, I just know when I see one that I like I'm going after it.

It's definitely not rocket science.  Get a good tape, cable, and score sheet.  READ the scoring instructions and follow the steps.  Lots of folks say who cares about score but I think it's fun to put a tape on em.  Big, small, typical, non typical.  They are all different and unique.  I can't hardly look at a deer without putting the eyecrometer to them.

Some people have  real good Eyecrometers, some are way out of tolerance and in need of calibration...

Here is a tough one.  22” outside with a giant head/body.

Both of ours scored the same. It would be cool to put them side by side and see if theres much difference.

if love to see the numbers breakdown on your buck Hockey.  I have a pretty sharp scoring eye and I couldn't even come close to 185.  I'd love to see where I short changed him.  Do you have any pics where it's not so distorted from being so close to the camera?

Karl, here is the score sheet. I said 185, but he was actually 183 4/8 gross and 173 4/8 net. Nets are for fishing!!
He looks pretty symmetrical, but i was deducted 10 pts. That extra G1 didn't help either. But he is awesome to look at and a once in a lifetime buck for me.

I suck at scoring. Its all good. LOL. I look at some pics of bucks and I just don't get where they got the score.
Here's another pic, but it kinda sucks also. 

I thought this post/pic was really interesting because in the big pic that buck looks really nice...........

But in your avatar the same buck looks way bigger.    At least to me.

(Great buck.     Love the mass.)

Thanks Dan-o. Its the same buck. It's weird how a buck in one pic can look way different than another pic just by the angle, lighting, distance, etc.

The 40" of mass certainly helped.  Heavy horned deer for sure.  Thanks for posting the score sheet.

sweet!  Thank you!  So I was pretty much on the money except I shorted him  an inch on SC, 3" on the one main, and 3" on mass, and an inch on one of the g2's.  Also didn't think that extra was gonna be a scoreable point.

Gosh I wish I hadn't unintentionally nuked half the deer pics on my phone.  I had some fun score deer   maybe @bullblaster has Kaydens CO buck he could post as well as the live pic from the year before.
