Pretty hard to judge without anything to reference in the photo. Do you have any pictures while the antlers were still attached (to the deer)?

He's only 21 2/8 wide for a reference to size, sorry no after the shot photos he's not my buck.

I came up with 153" gross. :twocents:I guess I should have asked are we talking gross score or net? I know nets are for fishing but I assumed final/net score on my guess and I think there is a big difference on this one between gross and net.

I strictly score gross. Why punish or take away from an animal for horn growth? :twocents:
Agreed
Post by: sirmissalot on November 02, 2012, 03:21:31 PM
All the guesses so far are way low. The 150's and low 160's is where I was guessing though. We were amazed when we put the tape on him that's why I posted it on here.

I strictly score gross. Why punish or take away from an animal for horn growth? :twocents:I strictly shoot bucks that are so symetrical that there is little difference between gross and net....joking :chuckle: I am with you on gross versus net, count what they were given. And with this buck in particular I would have shot not only because of the size but also the character and stickers around the bases.

153 gross. Too bad he didn't have the front forks to match.
That's why none of us thought he would score much over 160.
He's all the measurements. I know it makes no sense... He doesn't look that big but we measured him twice and got the exact same score both times. Notice quite a few inches from extras, most of them real short those are all scoreable points around his bases. Truly a unique buck and real old, probably 7 or 8 with a 24-25 inch neck.

think something is off. If that is a 190...I am looking at 250's. Have someone score it that does it for a living like a taxidermist.
Actually he is a taxidermist.
Hey I didn't believe it just as much as you guys, none of us did that's why I posted it here.
He's not my buck just some guy from Iowa I've got no reason lie. Just thought you guys would find it interesting. Look at the measurements it makes sense if you add it all up... Kinda. True story though I'm tellin ya
Post by: sirmissalot on November 02, 2012, 08:29:33 PM
Okay, I'm not seeing nine scoreable extras on there. Help me out?
Like I said several of them are those shorties on his bases. They were over an inch... So we counted them. Take them off the total if you like still an impressive 3 point.

how are you measuring each point ? to the center of the beam or the edge of the beam ?
also ya might wana re do your math..i got 182 an some change lol always fun to do some fun math for once :chuckle:
i could have read it wrong tho
Did you read the left horn total as 72 or 82? I read it as 72 the first time too but it's actually 82 I double checked all the measurements ad up to 82. He measured it to the center of the beam.
JLS No sir this is a Wyoming buck. I'm in ralston staying with a friend right now who is a taxi.

Like I said I'm no expert at scoring by any means, but it's funny how many people try to guess the score of an animal without actually taking into consideration actual inches of horn.
Post by: JLS on November 06, 2012, 12:54:52 PM
Points are measured from the edge of the mainbeam. That explains my confusion on all the extra points (but not my confusion in general).
What part of WY (general). I killed a buck in SE WY years ago that has the same conformation, giant back tines and forks, tall, boxy rack.
Post by: sirmissalot on November 06, 2012, 12:59:51 PM
The cool part is this buck was not a local deer, that area is farmland and foothills. This was a mountain buck with dark pine pitch covered horns. Not many pine trees around, I'll bet he came a long ways, just a lot earlier than the rest of the migrating deer. He was killed in open sagebrush foothills, they jumped him from his bed between some big rocks, at least that's the story we were told.

We won't know it. Those boys who killed it will probably get it officially scored at home because chances are no one will believe them but they live in Iowa and I'm home now. The guy who actually pulled the trigger didn't care what it scored his brother is the one who insisted on putting a tape on it and said its gotta be 200. Let him think it, that thing is gonna look cool on the wall no matter what the score is.
:yeah: It will look awesome on the wall no matter the score. The score sheet I put together was based on the numbers from the sheet on page 3. I think its probably closer to a 155"-160" buck and an overall stud of a three point.

Lots of 200 class deer falling this year and a 3pt at that. Just think if they would have let him walk what he would be next year? Nice deer for sure I would have had to shoot.
