The issue with these kinds of games is more often then not, folks don't know how to actually score. They calculate in outside spread, tip to tip, incorrect spread credit, or they measure the mass incorrectly. Just a word of caution to the OP when considering some measurements :twocents:

Here is a good example. This buck has an H1 (first mass measurement, not the base) measurement of 8 2/8". So when people say their deer has pop can mass, they may be exxagerating :chuckle:

Just a word of caution to the OP when considering some measurements :twocents::yeah:
And wide doesn't normally help you. Outside width means nothing. Inside spread is where it is at and like I say it normally doesn't help. Narrow inside will hurt you. You are limited on spread credit by the length of the main beam.

The top buck has no eye guards and pencil mass, but has really long g-3’s and g-4’s and a fairly long inline.
The bottom buck would have been a stud if his passenger side forked normally. He is essentially a 3x4.

Sure, no problem Karl. I can scan the score sheet and post it tomorrow. It will be in the next NW big game book. At the time I think it was #15 for the state in their book. I just missed the cut off mark for Boone. A guy named Russ scored it. It looks deceiving. We didn't get any good pics of it in the field. My father in law took the pics in the field and my wife took the pics of me holding the European mount. They both suck at taking pictures. :bash: :dunno:if love to see the numbers breakdown on your buck Hockey. I have a pretty sharp scoring eye and I couldn't even come close to 185.

I suck at scoring. Its all good. LOL. I look at some pics of bucks and I just don't get where they got the score.
Here's another pic, but it kinda sucks also. :o
I thought this post/pic was really interesting because in the big pic that buck looks really nice...........
But in your avatar the same buck looks way bigger. At least to me.
(Great buck. Love the mass.)

165 1/8 n/t162 net or gross? That had to be net.It scored 162 :tup:Wa. buck 2012It looks like a 160 ish buck, but a very nice buck I would be happy with
I love the heavy deep forks and the split g3's are awesome.

Love it when guys are honest with their scores! :tup:
And that's to say previous posts are not honest, I just appreciate a guy that takes the time to get a legit score and not embellish it, or add in the widest spread. :rolleyes:

I agree for sure! Getting it scored accurately is the only way to go. Very inexpensive to do as well. I take all my critters to David Morris in Portland to have him score them. I’m usually close but I leave it to the pros. Must have missed it but I didn’t see anyone adding outside spread :dunno:

No no, not here, but to achieve some of the scores I see posted every season, it seems the only way they achieve the scores claimed is by adding in that outside spread. :chuckle:
Guaranteed some will read this tomorrow and have the conversation with themselves like "wait, outside spread doesn't count in the score"? :chuckle:

I dont know that I’ll ever have anything officially scored but the number does put some perspective to the size. While both could be “big 4 points” there is a difference between a 150 inch buck and a 180.
Yep, 30" of outside spread :)

I love to put a tape to every deer that comes back to our camp. It's tons of fun around the campfire. One guy reads the score sheet and writes down the numbers as the other one is working the tape. Anything over 120" I take to the sportsman's show or run it out to Russ's house to have measured to get a real number and verify that we did it right.
Karl mentioned it in his post, every deer is different. It is great to see what they actually score. The tape doesn't lie.
To me it's not about score when I shoot, I just know when I see one that I like I'm going after it.

It's definitely not rocket science. Get a good tape, cable, and score sheet. READ the scoring instructions and follow the steps. Lots of folks say who cares about score but I think it's fun to put a tape on em. Big, small, typical, non typical. They are all different and unique. I can't hardly look at a deer without putting the eyecrometer to them.Some people have real good Eyecrometers, some are way out of tolerance and in need of calibration... :chuckle:

Karl, here is the score sheet. I said 185, but he was actually 183 4/8 gross and 173 4/8 net. Nets are for fishing!!if love to see the numbers breakdown on your buck Hockey. I have a pretty sharp scoring eye and I couldn't even come close to 185. I'd love to see where I short changed him. Do you have any pics where it's not so distorted from being so close to the camera?Here is a tough one. 22” outside with a giant head/body.Both of ours scored the same. It would be cool to put them side by side and see if theres much difference.

He looks pretty symmetrical, but i was deducted 10 pts. That extra G1 didn't help either. But he is awesome to look at and a once in a lifetime buck for me. :chuckle:

Thanks Dan-o. Its the same buck. It's weird how a buck in one pic can look way different than another pic just by the angle, lighting, distance, etc. :dunno:

The 40" of mass certainly helped. Heavy horned deer for sure. Thanks for posting the score sheet.Karl, here is the score sheet. I said 185, but he was actually 183 4/8 gross and 173 4/8 net.

sweet! Thank you! So I was pretty much on the money except I shorted him an inch on SC, 3" on the one main, and 3" on mass, and an inch on one of the g2's. Also didn't think that extra was gonna be a scoreable point.I suck at scoring. Its all good. LOL. I look at some pics of bucks and I just don't get where they got the score.
