You score this Blacktail
« on: February 16, 2008, 07:46:06 PM »
Hey here is a chance to test your scoring ability on a blacktail . I had this one scored so fire away.

120 if Dmans goes 110 that thing has to go at least 10" more, if not 15.

 It might just be my screen, but your zoomed in so close I can't get the width on my screen. I see maybe 1" eyeguards and good mass, maybe equivalent to 5" bases. It's always tough to tell by just a photo, most who guessed at mine were off by at least 4-5 inches. Best uneducated guess is 114.

It really is hard to judge with nothing else in the photo to use as a reference. I have no clue so I won't even guess. Nice buck though.

 For reference, here is a 117 blacktail. Don't think this one quite get's there, close maybe, but this one's a four point, vs. a three with really not much in the way of eyeguards.

I'll take a shot at 105 hard to reference but I haven't seen to many 3 points hit the 120 mark.

115 and again I totally pull these scores out of my  :ass: Just ask skyvalhunter!  ;) And according to the last contest I would be better off scoring this after I've had a few beer's!

 I can honestly say I don't think I've seen a 3 point blacktail that scored over 120. Not saying it's not possible, I just haven't seen one yet and I would think you'd need to have very long T-1's, as well as the mass and tine length of the other points to get it over 120. I can't remember exactly what Logger's huge 4 pt. went, but it seems like is was just over 120. Palmer's son's record 4 pt. was also 114.

    That would be correct, they are extremely similar, one could say almost identical in nature...  :DOH:

I'm still happy with my guess.  Here is why cyber scoring is so hard...... Your score....my guess
inside spread 17 6/8  18
mains           20 6/8 20
                   21 2/8 20
g1          2 2/8  2 5/8  2 each 
g2         14 1/8  12 5/8  12 each(big loss on that one)
g4         8 6/8   8 5/8   6 each (another loss)
h1         5   5 2/8        5 each
h2         4 and 4     5 and 5   
h3         3 3/8   3    2 each
h4         3 6/8  3 7/8  3 each

Then I knocked 5 off I believe just for the human factor that always miss judges and for any deductions.  Very hard when you don't have size references, and you can see, it doesn't take much  off on each measurement in order to really miss the final score.   This score sheet I believe.  I still don't believe the last non typical we all did.  This buck looks like a 130 net deer.

105  but I guess the fourth point doesn't add as many inches as I though.  Nice score.
