Great post. Looking forward to the thread.

I hate the very idea of "scoring" deer. Never done it, never will. Kind of grosses me out, actually.

I think this buck fits the bill. Gnarly old buck just lame forks. Over 20 inch G 2's!

I don't know if I would call this a "great" buck.  But if both sides matched, he would nudge 180".

He's a lucky deer by the looks of it to. Is that a bullet hole in his right side antler?

Absolutely fits the bill! :tup:


THis buck, seen anywhere, by anybody, might just shrug it off.   I had tried to photograph him for 3 years, he had reduced in size by way over 50%.   He was extremely hard to get on film.   He was seconds from wanting to breed this doe is the only reason I filmed him.....
Probably his last year breeding.

This buck turned into an absolute freaking monster.  Unfortunately he wouldn't let me film him either once he had been shot at a few times throughout the year.  He could still be out there.  Maybe we will have a date this fall.

That's cool shot, the doe looks photoshop'd or edited in just floating in the air like the buck is dream of his last good time.

How about a whitetail? I think my biggest buck to date fits this bill.  Over 23" wide, nice big g3's but NO mass, weak g2's and he just didn't grow g4's.  I guess that's pretty typical for a Palouse buck though.

Post by: huntnphool on June 27, 2013, 11:20:28 AM
 Score doesn't mean much to me, I prefer a buck with mass, even if it has short points.

 I helped my brother get this buck on his late tag, he passed it the first day but I was able to convince him it was bigger than what he thought. Like a lot of guys he was hung up on width and a perfect frame.

 Long story short, its a main frame 4x4, has a 3" and a 5" point and still scores 170", right at 40" of mass, 5 7/8" bases. :tup:

The one in my avatar.  Old, very big bodied buck.  He's got mass at the bases and most the way up, but he's not wide enough and has week backs not enough overall length.  I'd shoot him every year for the rest of my life and be quite happy.

This is a huge bodied muley taken by my trail camera up NE during the late archery whitetail season. Any guess as to how wide he is? He won't score very well because he's wider than his main beams are long and that back fork is small. I think his body size even makes the rack look smaller. I saw him once in person going away from me and his rear quarters are dang near 3 ft wide.
Title: Re: Great bucks that dont score diddely

This thread proves how rare it is for a hunter to find a true 180 buck in their sights. Even a 160 is a trophy, and there's not a lot of people that will scoff at a 145" buck.

Wont net , grosses good though .

My 2011 archery buck is configured very similar to this buck.  There are certain bucks that B&C net score just doesn't do justice too.  I've displayed my 2011 archery buck next to some of my Montana bucks and 90+ % of my buddies say its the buck they'd shoot if all the bucks were in a group yet after deductions some of the Montana bucks score higher.  IMHO, Boone and Crocket's scoring is flawed in some ways.  The best example of this is the Mundy buck which is over 49" wide and scores 288+ B&C.  It also has the largest gross typical frame of any buck ever entered into B&C meaning if he didn't grow all the extras and you simply compared apples to apples he would destroy the Burris buck which is the current WR holder.  I seems silly to consider a buck a world record when you can put another buck next to it and everyone would shoot the non record buck.  I think nontypicals should still be able to be entered typical at there gross typical frame score.

The year I had the 2x2 tag the only big 2 point i could find was over 30" and his main beam out out and up rather than out and forward ( kind of hard to explain) and he had little 5 or 6 inch times that came straight forward so when he looked at you he only looked like a spike. The guy that had control of the land he was on wouldn't let me go in and shoot him. One of those really dude you nor anybody you hunt with can shoot him so all he is going to do is continue to breed and spread bad genetics.

That is a great idea, you could give out 10-15 tags, have only the people that are interested in taken out the 2point gene in the units they hunt.  Success would maybe be 10-20%, so 1 or 2 deer. I see quite a few 2pts in my late hunt but only 1 or 2 that I would like to take out.  I am thinking most with that tag would pass on the dink 2pts, if you are hunting those late hunts generally you a looking for a masher or something with character.

I like the idea a lot.

i would like to see it, but limit it to 2 tags per unit and make it a youth hunt, give the kids a chance to take part in a trophy hunt at a young age and get hooked, and since a adult would obviously need to be there it would also show adults that they don't necessarily need to have a tag in their own pockets to go out hunting and have a good time.

The only bad part is you run into people who don't shoot the mature two points that are the bad ones to have. They will shoot any old two point. We watched a guy shoot a little dink two point last year clearly not a mature two, bad part is he only wounded it an it crossed a fence into ground he didn't have permission and instead of going and asking for permission to retrieve the wounded animal he just left. They would almost have to turn these into a can hunt to monitor what two points are being taken or do like some places for moose make a width minimum.

You explain what the tag is intended for, no different than educating cougar hunters the difference between male and female.

No different than permit holders shooting young 3 and 4 points.

They do explain it. The send a big letter saying only shoot mature two points it even has pictures for the people who don't want to read. It is different than the people who shoot immature three or four points if you only give one or two tags. Say those two people shoot immature two points then what's the good in giving that tag out when the purpose of the tag is to get rid of bad genes.

The B&C and P&Y thing has always seemed strange to me.  Watching a young buck or bull develop, certain shapes, character and how the critter handled itself always 'scored' far more than measuring inches with me.  The number kinda diminishes what may have happened along the way.

I did look at all of the pics and have been watching this thread all along and didn't catch that the side view buck was the same buck that was posted front view two weeks ago.  Good catch link, way to keep everyone on their toes.  I am going to keep my eye on Bone that sneaky son of a gun posting different pictures of the same deer weeks apart just to keep his thread going.  :chuckle:

I was really into it for awhile, now I could really give a rats butt.  I still get offended (no idea why, pet peeve maybe) when people stretch the tape.  I think I just like to keep it real.  I think the critters in this thread show that you can have an awesome buck and score doesn't mean diddely, so why "fish tape" it
Title: Re: Great bucks that dont score diddely
Post by: 7mmfan on July 18, 2013, 07:36:58 AM
I agree. I have never shot anything that I would think would score well at all, just because of size.

I think that even if I shot a monster, I probably wouldn't have it scored. Its not about the score, its about the animal. I think when you reduce it to a number, and are happy or not based on that number, you've just lost the meaning of the hunt and respect for that animals life. :twocents:

Good thread. There is a couple of meaty bucks in this thread that don't get the recognition of being good bucks just because of horn configuration. Their still good ole smart bucks. Even more so than some of the Grinch that stole Xmas dog with the antlers tied on and the antlers teetered the pooch type of bucks that have almost perfect symmetry. That first one was an arnold.

Why even mention score if you don't go by the one that really counts. That buck has a real weak side a short back and an extra on the other side. Old, heavy, miss matched points, short point and a low net. If that doesn't meet your criteria I will remove it. But I know there are several other bucks on here that are right at the 180 gross mark. Nets are for fish and gross scores are for bucks that don't have a good net score....... Right?

 :yeah: i dont understand how you can make up your own scoring criteria. I agree that net scores shouldnt count, that being said if it wasnt for record books, scoring wouldnt exist. So might as well follow the criteria. B&C as well as P&Y dont think nets are for fish :twocents:

Maybe I should have posted that instead of "nets are for fish".
Trailtamer, if I ever kill a buck as big as yours, I'd crap myself. You should be proud of that buck. Sounds like you're discrediting it, pointing out all of his flaws.

How about a whitetail? I think my biggest buck to date fits this bill.  Over 23" wide, nice big g3's but NO mass, weak g2's and he just didn't grow g4's.  I guess that's pretty typical for a Palouse buck though.

I think this is a prime example of a great 'good ole boy', but that won't score well at all. I'd love to see him from the front. (Or broadside for a shot!) But the symmetry is all off. Great mass but no width or fork lengths.

I know this thread compares bucks that are less than the coveted 180 range, but a 160 buck is above average in Washington, and most people will be quite proud of a 145. -And a 145 can certainly be a great buck, that doesn't score 'diddley'. 
 
IMHO. If you've got a buck that's above 160, It probably shouldn't be in this thread.   We've all seen wide bucks that are spindly. We've all seen tall bucks that aren't wide or have no real mass to them. Once in a while we see some freak that just doesn't look right.

THis year's buck.  Old, heavy, thick and gnarly.  Huge body.  No spread (like 19 inches outside), 3 point on one side.  Man, he mast have been something in his prime...

It seems like the majority of deer that I shoot fit this category!!! Here is one, 29" outside spread and scores 155".

That may be the best buck yet on this thread.  He's got everything in exactly the wrong place for a score....  But I think I would shoot that deer on any day, on just about any tag.  Screw the score.  That's a gorgeous deer... :tup:

Course, I was thinking the same thing about yours.  Mass will be my undoing.
