Its really not that big of a deal, we were just curious, plus there is a taxidermist that lives a few miles away from me, who will do it for free

Post by: Ryan on August 23, 2008, 09:41:03 AM: Im going to say its in the 150 class.
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: bucklucky on August 23, 2008, 10:23:44 AM: I dont know anyone that charges to score antlers, it should only cost if you enter in a book. ?
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: blacktailer on August 24, 2008, 12:00:29 AM: I'm gonna go wth mid-140's tops. Tell your dad I'd be happy to score it for him. I'll probably see him for coffee this week
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: Bigshooter on August 24, 2008, 03:58:07 AM: Upper 140's.
Title: Re: What would this score?

Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: boneaddict on August 25, 2008, 08:20:06 PM: 140 class buck
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: TeacherMan on August 27, 2008, 03:25:02 PM: I would say mid 140s gross.
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: bucklucky on August 27, 2008, 08:46:27 PM: I think I way over guestimated on this one :chuckle:
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: M_ray on August 27, 2008, 10:33:36 PM: I may have too but I went went with my first thought and resisted lowering it ... sometimes when they are turned a bit in the pic I get fuzzed on my guess! but it's more than likely 155 -60.

Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: Bearhunter on August 28, 2008, 02:44:01 PM: 147, he has short main beams. Nice looking buck though congrats to your dad!
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: M_59 on August 28, 2008, 03:03:37 PM: Yes, short main beams and looks to be barely ears width wide, maybe 19-20 inches.. i would guess lucky to make 140. But he is a nice buck, looks to be about perfect side to side.
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: GoldTip on August 28, 2008, 03:10:31 PM: I'm gonna say hi-140's
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: tlbradford on August 28, 2008, 03:17:53 PM: I put it to paper and I am still going to say it is 160. Those are some deep forks.

Yeah I'll agree I have a friend that has a buck no wider than 22-23 and it went 193 ... width is only one score that can be made up with deep forks but still not the 170 I originally thought but your in there at 150 to 160 Tl! I was so trying to put down something that wouldn't be the same as Bucklucky that I went against my better judgement! :P
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: tlbradford on August 28, 2008, 04:16:29 PM: Yeah, that Bucklucky guy is bad news. Hang around him to long and you are probably planning bank robberies, visiting strip clubs, and smoking and drinking the day away. Must be all those taxidermy chemicals. :P :chuckle:

Its really not as big as you guys think. I put it somewhere in the 18" width range. The forks look nice but its decieving because its being pushed away from his body. Mains look to be short as well, I still think mid 140's gross but what do I know about judging deer. :dunno: Nothing wrong with that buck at all though, a couple more years and he would have been a shooter for me. :hunter:

Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: tlbradford on August 28, 2008, 05:06:09 PM: Heck, I'll definately defer to the big buck shooters on this one. I don't get much practice scoring bucks when I shoot those dink 3 points.

Gee, Thanks alot! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: Broken Arrow on August 29, 2008, 10:31:46 AM: low 140's max
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: MattKaye on September 02, 2008, 04:20:53 PM: this is a mediocre buck..... high 140's dont be sad.....
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: wastickslinger on September 02, 2008, 04:40:51 PM: I am still sticking near 160 even with all the 140 guesses. Here is what I come up with. Where are my eyes deceiving me. I want to know so I know where I misjudge lenths(for the 140 guesses)? Not saying I am right by any means, just curious now.

MB-20
G1-2.5
G2-18
G3-9
G4-8
Mass-4,,4,3,3= 14

Total= 71.5*2= 143
Spread= 17

Gross=160

Mass could be 15, That is why I guessed 162-163 :dunno:

So what is the score?? Its killing me.
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: MuleySniper on September 02, 2008, 04:50:35 PM: I'm saying 160ish too. Nice solid 4 point with deep forks. 22-23" spread. :twocents:

MB 16
G1 1 1/2
G2 16
G3 7
G4 6

Mass 4, 4, 3, 3, =17

Total = 63.5 x 2 = 127

Spread 18 but spread can not be longer than main beams so ( and I believe that is for gross or net if not add on 4 inches) 16 + 127 =143

I think you are off the most on the main beam guess.
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: Bigshooter on September 02, 2008, 05:34:20 PM: By the way would somebody that has a buck that did score 160 please post a picture.

Thanks

Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: wastickslinger on September 02, 2008, 05:47:12 PM: I was comparing to the 140 that I killed and it appeared to have a few inches on every tine all the way around. Looked bigger to me :dunno:
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: tlbradford on September 02, 2008, 08:32:23 PM: That is just because yours is really about a 120!

j/k, I agree with you.
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: wastickslinger on September 02, 2008, 09:06:26 PM: I did go to school in Omak, my math skills are likely that of a 2nd grader :chuckle:
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: wastickslinger on September 02, 2008, 10:14:06 PM: Bigshooter, I may be over a bit on mains after taking a closer look. Closer to 18". But there is no way his G3 is 7" and G4 is 6". They are 9"-10" and 8"-9". The ear length is suppose to be 9"(mature buck and this buck might be closer to 8" ear) and that G3 is longer than that bucks ear(I cheated and used a scale ruler).

This is a good discussion. I have never really looked close to score deer until the past few years. This thread could end being very informative to those learing to field judge bucks. We have many 160 guesses and many 140 guesses. I can be humbled and will be the first to say I was wrong if I am.

Dang we need an official score!!!
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: bucklucky on September 03, 2008, 07:10:15 AM: +1

Pictures can be decieving as well. I already posted that I overguestimated his score :chuckle: But I will stick with it , I think it is more like a 148.
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: flyguide on September 03, 2008, 08:37:11 PM: 145, end of story. Give me my field judging Merit badge and a cookie. Please.
Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: goodtime on September 03, 2008, 08:55:07 PM: 150 maybe. No main beam. His lessor left side is keeping him from being a mid 150's I think. Nice buck though and I'm sure the shooter was very happy.

Title: Re: What would this score?
Post by: alecvg on March 23, 2009, 05:32:45 PM: I tried to score it and got 140 5/8, but I know I did it wrong and i believe it is at least 5-6 inches bigger than that.

You are talking about a guy that clearly has no conception of antler size, he still thinks his bull is average :DOH: :iamwithstupid:
