Title: Re: My best elk antler. (updated with my score)
Post by: trophyhunt on May 11, 2013, 12:29:08 PM: I did a score today and this is what I came up with, 107'' in antler points length, 27'' in total thickness, the main beam length is 47'' and of course the spread is an estimate at 40''. So I did 107x2 =214. 27x2=54. 214+54=268. 268+47+40=355. I did not measure the 7th point as that is included in the main beam length, so I think I did it right. Of course with the spread being a guess it could be a bit smaller within a few inches. If I missed something please let me know, sure with I had the other side!!!!!

I checked my score with the exact (as much as possible, with the other side being the exact same and guess's on the tip to tip spread, inside spread and greatest outside spread) steps from the Boone and Crockett internet scoring system. It's sounds a bit high to me, but that spread sheet they have gave me a total score of 359 4/8. I would not have guessed that high, I would probably take off 10'' in total width measurements for errors with not knowing the real widths. Yeah I couldn't believe how his antler landed on those logs, it was pretty easy to spot from 30 yards away.

Post by: bucklucky on May 11, 2013, 04:44:43 PM: What were all the tine lengths ? G-1 through g-6 ?
Title: Re: My best elk antler. (updated with boone and crocket score)
Post by: bucklucky on May 11, 2013, 04:50:23 PM: . You said 107 in tine lengths, thats a 17.8n inch average , that doesnt add up , take the antler lengths plus the mass @ 27 thats 134 plus the main beam @47 thats a total of 181. That would be the whole antler total . Double that for the other side and you got 362 before the inside spread wich on average 40 so that would be 402. You must have had the main beam added into the point length total of 107? that would make him 308 with a 40 inch inside.

Post by: bucklucky on May 11, 2013, 04:59:29 PM: .... or else it really is a 402 bull :chuckle:

Title: Re: My best elk antler. (updated with boone and crocket score)
Post by: trophyhunt on May 11, 2013, 05:11:00 PM: Some numbers, 1st point 16 2/8, 2nd 17 3/8, 3rd 16 7/8, 4th 18, 5th 11 5/8, 6th 3 4/8. main beam is 48 4/8. The four diameter measurements are 7 7/8, 6 6/8, 6 4/8, and 6 4/8. I put all my measurements on the Boone and Crockett website for scoring, they had 3 width measurement to do, they must average them together to get a average width?
Title: Re: My best elk antler. (updated with boone and crocket score)
Post by: bucklucky on May 11, 2013, 11:24:33 PM: 159 6/8 total on the antler , doubled with a 40 inch inside its a 359 4/8 gross bull. OINK!!!! Hell of a shed man!!
what threw me off was your total point length wich was actually 83 5/8 instead of 107. Thanks for putting up youur measurements .

Post by: trophyhunt on May 12, 2013, 10:11:27 AM: Thanks bucklucky, I still think my width is off but still a great find for me. I appreciate the help! :tup:

If you have it, give it to me :chuckle: :chuckle:. I would like to find out if it is, Pm me and we'll see if we were in the same area. I think your in a different spot than me, I found this by ellesburg on the watt canyon side.
