Help score my son's buck
« on: August 29, 2018, 10:18:07 AM »
My son is getting antsy to get his buck back from the taxidermist.  He shot him in Idaho almost 2 years ago.  We were talking about him last night and he asked me what I think he scored.  I only have pictures to go on as we don't have the antlers at home to measure.  I have an idea, but I'm not a score guy.  What do you guys think?

Hard to guess from one angle but I'm going 138-140
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

No idea but pretty buck!
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Awesome buck! Not sure on the score, how old was your boy when he took it?

He was 14.  I was guessing 135"-140".  So I wasn't too far off.
