Post by: boneaddict on January 17, 2010, 02:01:59 PM: I'd still say 140. Eyeguards don't look big enough to count, and the backs don't look nearly 20+. Sure you measured the same deer. :)

Post by: C-Money on January 17, 2010, 02:03:25 PM: I thought mid 130's? Great buck!
Title: Re: What does this set of anlers score? Mule deer
Post by: huntergreg on January 17, 2010, 02:07:43 PM: I am not an expert measure but i measured it how it said. There is only 1 eye guard on the left side it is 1 1/4 long

If you measure from the burs to the tip following the back side all the way to the tip is 21 1/8 in on the right and 20 1/8 on the left.

I think I measured them from the bur to the tip

Post by: boneaddict on January 17, 2010, 02:22:39 PM: Take a ruler, and find the natural line of the beam that each point comes out of. Use a pencil and lightly mark it. This will make it easier to decide where to measure too. Always side with being conservative. When measureing mass, remember its the smallest point or smallest mass for that given measurement. I am guessing the eyeguard isn't quite long enough to count.

Post by: boneaddict on January 17, 2010, 02:34:28 PM: No problem, thats why we are here. Its how you get to know. Measure measure measure. Let me know if you have any other questions.

P.S. Thats why I say 140....not as an insult, just thats about what it looks like, so please don't take it personally.
Title: Re: What does this set of anlers score? Mule deer
Post by: Kowsrule30 on January 17, 2010, 03:06:48 PM: I was gonna say 130 and I'm not so good at judging/estimating.... Let alone measuring....
Title: Re: What does this set of anlers score? Mule deer
Post by: bonkellekter on January 17, 2010, 03:19:50 PM: It looks to be a little bigger than this buck that officially scored 143 and change. so I'd say he is closer to 150

Title: Re: What does this set of anlers score? Mule deer
Post by: huntergreg on January 17, 2010, 07:41:32 PM: I was measuring from the bur to the tip. I will try to redo it and see what the score is.

Post by: haugenna on January 18, 2010, 10:43:58 PM: Hmmm I still think you are a little high. Somebody have the boone and crockett form?

Did you measure the beam length and the "G5's" ,last point or bottom of the fronts, twice ??
Title: Re: What does this set of anlers score? Mule deer
Post by: carpsniperg2 on January 18, 2010, 10:56:38 PM: yeah that does seem a bit high i would say 135-140max my dad killed a buck about 4-5 years ago almost twin to that one maybe his had a little better forks and it was 135 :twocents: :twocents:
Title: Re: What does this set of anlers score? Mule deer
Post by: huntandjeep on January 19, 2010, 03:53:17 PM: im thinking low 140

Post by: alanger on January 19, 2010, 04:21:10 PM: however you score it, it still looks like a dandy buck.
Title: Re: What does this set of anlers score? Mule deer
Post by: huntergreg on January 19, 2010, 05:18:46 PM: thanks for all the info on trying to figure this scoring thing out. Im going to try and find someone who I can take it to and have them show me the right way to measure. ;D
Title: Re: What does this set of anlers score? Mule deer
Post by: wastickslinger on January 19, 2010, 05:41:56 PM: I would have said mid 140's gross

Title: Re: What does this set of anlers score? Mule deer
Post by: MtnMuley on January 20, 2010, 08:04:51 AM: Looks like it could be a potential 148"er to me. In my opinion the medium sized bucks look bigger in pics, and the bigger bucks look smaller in pics. Very hard to score a deer by a pic..........you can get an idea though. :twocents:
Title: Re: What does this set of anlers score? Mule deer
Post by: Buckwheat on January 23, 2010, 09:37:41 PM: that probably wouldnt score in the 140s
