I've never killed a buck that ever interested me in scoring until a couple years ago, then got another one this year. My curiosity got the best of me and I put the tape on them.
The results were very interesting. To me anyway. I figured they would be close, but really had no idea as I'd never scored an animal before. They are quite different animals in all regards, mass, length, width, etc...
They both came to the exact same net, and within 1.5" of gross.
Next year I'll step into the woods with the goal of a nice 2 or 3 pt again, but hope for an opportunity at one of these fellas. They are a bit habit forming.

How dare you sir! They are more than just numbers >:(

They were lots and lots of really good meat too! They sure look perty on the wall though.

I'd call them nice 160 class bucks. If you wanted to "categorize them" :chuckle:

It's pretty tame :) Nothing much to worry about in there.

No better way to learn"what it takes" than to see a buck, shoot the buck, and score the buck.

Thank you. I appreciate all the kind words. Trying hard not to sound like a hypocrite on the other thread, it really is interesting to me how two unique deer with fairly different characteristic scored so similarlyI've been trying not to point out how many times I've seen these deer and how often score has been brought up :hello: :chuckle:
I believe you are starting to see why scoring deer is interesting and fun. I score EVERYTHING, from spikes to big ones. It also makes me appreciate a high scoring deer because I know what it takes for a buck to get to some of those magical numbers like 30" wide or 190" typical. I've said it a million times that a mid 160 buck is a stud buck and then you think what it takes to be 25 or 30 inches bigger than that!!!! And they regrow that every year! Just amazes me.
