Yes, I am.  But I guessed my score in even numbers (no 8ths).  And just for the record, as Phool said, antlers are always scored in 8ths (1/8, 2/8, 3/8 etc...). 

And by the way, in MY class you would have learned that.  I don't teach math.  I teach Rifle Marksmanship and Hunter Education.  My advanced students actually DO learn to score antlers.  Next time I teach that subject I'll invite you to come sit in on the class.  No promises, but I might even be able to teach you to count in 8ths.... :chuckle:

DBLDWN, I understand your frustration but don't worry about it......it's a great buck.

One thing I've learned is a sheet doesn't mean anything and you could give that buck to 10 different "official" scorers and they would all come up with different number.  I had the same thing happen last year so I told people who wanted to put a tape on to come on over and do it themselves.  I had people measure my buck from 170' (taxidermist) to 191' and I chuckled to myself every time someone came up with a different score.

If you really want to justify the 190' mark just wait the alloted time and have it officially scored and signed. Then you can slap it up here and rub it in someone's face if it bothers you that much.......

I was just clarifying because it is against the rules to "Shop" for the best score as in having different guys officially score the animal. Once it is scored that is the score unless there is a dispute or a mistake on the official score.

If you remember thats why the first piece of advise I gave you right after you drew was ..."Dont get caught up in the score! shoot what you will be happy with!!!" You know another thing you can do is just stop scoreing it once the one guy reaches 190"!!!  :chuckle:

Post by: HardCorpsHuntr on December 30, 2011, 01:04:13 PM
Paul told me he wanted to keep the pics down to a minimum!  I will respect that for his own reasons.  Though, there have been many people in his group of friends and then their group of friends who have forwarded them on, me included.

Paul and I were afield when DBLDWN called me.  He said he had a buck spotted that we needed to look at.  He sent a fuzzy pic.  Paul, decided we needed to have a look!  When we arrived and got him in our spotting scopes my first impression was he is a 170 class!!  Paul had thought the same thing, and later told me he thought “Grant’s going to be pissed!”  We had a lot of work into where we had been when the call came in….  Onto the hunt, we were elevated and about 700 yards away when we started critiquing the buck.  With time he started growing in score for me; he just looked great from all angles, depth of forks, tine length, and mass.  When Paul chose to shoot the buck I had him estimated at 185 gross with a 26” outside spread.  DBLDWN had the same, plus 5 on gross.

Paul and I have spent a lot of time together hunting and playing throughout the years; going all the way back to middle school some 30 years ago!  Paul has been blessed in business, and used this opportunity to spend a lot of time with friends close to home and meet a few new ones too.  I was thrilled that a good friend bought this tag and I was able to spend some time with him on his hunts and I was with him when he killed a buck he is very happy with.  I was able to meet some new guys and create new friendships myself.  Paul couldn’t have been any happier with this buck, and would have been happy with several other beautiful bucks he and his friends spotted.

The measurement! I tapped the buck and Paul wrote down the measurements.  Paul added it up in the end to get the gross score of 191.  I was not surprised by this number.  I did not check his math, but if there are two people I trust in math its Paul and DOUBLELUNG!  I’m generally close on score comparing them to my P&Y bulls and bucks I’ve had measured and taping every piece of bone I get my hands on!

The “guess the score” game!  I don’t care, nor does Paul on what people guess or what it actually tapes out to.  I love playing the game too!  I’ve been way off with pictures and with some bucks in person too, as we probably all have.  But, generally I would like to think I'm pretty close!

Here are the facts.  Paul and his friends had fun!  The buck was located by an acquaintance of mine and Paul chose to kill this buck.  Paul is happy and his friends are happy!  Oh, more importantly for me, my wife is happy Paul killed his buck! :chuckle: 

 :twocents: On a side note!  What frustrates me most is when folks post locations!  Whether true or not, it’s not your hunt nor were you apart of it! So please, don’t even guess or post "what you heard."  It clams a lot of us up even more.  Posting locations, whether your own hunt or someone else's is a huge deal for me on these hunting sites and another topic within itself!  I love pics and stories as much as the next guy, that is why I'm here!  But, please leave the location out of it!

If Paul gives me the  :tup:, I'll throw a couple more pics up giving you all some better angles.

Sounds like an awesome hunt and a deserving guy. I'm glad that was the case with this tag. You hate to see such a beautiful trophy go to a jerk.

As far as the score... with a story and memories of a lifetime, is it really that relevant? Where is the emotions icon with two smiley faces having a pissing match?


 :twocents: On a side note!  What frustrates me most is when folks post locations!  Whether true or not, it’s not your hunt nor were you apart of it! So please, don’t even guess or post "what you heard."  It clams a lot of us up even more.  Posting locations, whether your own hunt or someone else's is a huge deal for me on these hunting sites and another topic within itself!  I love pics and stories as much as the next guy, that is why I'm here!  But, please leave the location out of it!

Grant       

I fully agree. Speculations do just piss people off and it should be allowed to remain private if the hunter wishes it too... but with that, I don't see the harm in telling a general area or gmu? Most of us would never get it any more narrowed down than that, or have the opportunity to hunt it anyways.  :dunno:

There was no disrespect intended in my score, as I said in the same post I thought it was a solid buck and the hunter should be congratulated. My score was based on the field image and I think anyone that looks at the image and compares my scores it will be easy to see how I came up with what I did. There are posts on here all the time where we are all speculating on a score, often times guys are 14" off either way and I don't see such a big deal being made out of it, why this time?

It's a very nice buck and one that anyone would be happy to have tagged in this state. If I missed it then who really cares, it was a guess and nothing more. I can tell you I would much rather be the guy that tells the hunter it is a 178" buck and find out later that it was really 190, than the guy that tells him it's 190 and it turns out to be 178. :twocents:

Title: Re: gov buck
Post by: Romulus on December 31, 2011, 09:07:33 AM
Tried to make myself stay out of this post but after reading it all I could not. First of all whoever had a range of scores on their buck from 170-190 had some incompetent scorers. Unless it is a very unique non typical animal the range should be about 2-3 inches on a 180 class deer and really should be less than that. If you do a meticulous job scoring there may be an eighth here or there but a range of 20 inches on a typical deer if you are using the same scoring criteria is absurd. Also when you throw a rough score on a buck in the field 9 times out of 10 when you really sit down and take your time later the score shrinks. To get proper mass measurements you have to hunt around for the smallest spots between the points which is rarely done in the field. Many times competent hunters who know how to score say every mass measurement is over 5 inches and when it is actually scored after the drying period maybe the base is over 5 but rarely are the others. Which brings me to the last point which is shrinkage during the drying period. If scored properly every buck will shrink from 1-3 inches in score during the drying period. Even shed horns if picked up very fresh will shrink especially in the mass measurements in a couple months. Without seeing this buck from several angles I would not guess a score. But generally speaking based on the entire thread I would bet a lot of money IF officially scored later the gross score will be much closer to 185 than 191. But if you say ROUGH green field score of 191 most can live with that as we know it will end up a bit less than that.

I pretty much agree with your summation on scoring Romulus, I usually try to underestimate a buck for those reasons.  :twocents:

A lot of guys just enjoy throwing out a score for general conversation when they see a photo on the forum. I don't think most are too serious, just having fun..... :twocents:

Jeep guy lets see your throphy wall of washington bucks . I'm in with phool and I'll take that bet . Killing a 190 buck in any state on public land is no easy task . Thats a assume buck and congrats to the hunter and all his friends for getting the job done . Thats huge preasure with a tag like that and to arm chair hunt and disscount the throphy is BS.

1 4/8?????? aren't you a School teacher now? Damn Rangers 1 1/2?

 They are scored in 1/8th's ;)....and no I'm not a school teacher.
pathfinder is
Do you remember the LAST time you made me go to WA-Hi? Remember the angry teachers and school board. Im not allowed in High Schools after that. REMEMBER!!! Becuase some IDIOT watched me give my Aunt and my cousin a hug and said it was inappropriate becuase I was in Uniform...(roughly 5 years ago)
Yes, I am.  But I guessed my score in even numbers (no 8ths).  And just for the record, as Phool said, antlers are always scored in 8ths (1/8, 2/8, 3/8 etc...). 

And by the way, in MY class you would have learned that.  I don't teach math.  I teach Rifle Marksmanship and Hunter Education.  My advanced students actually DO learn to score antlers.  Next time I teach that subject I'll invite you to come sit in on the class.  No promises, but I might even be able to teach you to count in 8ths.... :chuckle:

Had to bring this one back up. I was out this last weekend looking at bucks and i stopped and ask a lady permission to hike up the mtn behind the house she let which i thought was really cool. Anyway she proceded to tell me the gov buck was shot up their and told me her grandson was the one to spot the buck and they called the man who shot him. All that to say the guy who shot the buck sent this kid a huge gift card to Cabelas I thought that was a class act thing to do and i wanted to give him props for that. I know this story is true but i cannot tell you the hunters name theirfore i do not know if this is the same guy all she told me is the guy who shot the gov buck i am assuming it is this Paul guy way to go.

If you see such big bucks all the time on public land and are bettin on gettin one bigger in the next 2 seasons then why did you just post up a bunch of "gnarly" bucks that werent even close to the 160 mark? lol you dont even know the guy so theres no need to bash him for a legal hunt.
