I don't know if my Tucannon buck qualifies as a great frame but he does have real weak fronts. I think some better g4's would have really helped.
25" wide, he was 150".

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Here's a cool buck. Trashy bases. Missing tine length.

 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:

Obviously!! :chuckle:
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Here's another, 29.5" width, good mass, just no points! All in all a great buck, just lacking in score.
My biggest fear is when I die, my wife will sell all my guns for what I said they cost me!     ;)

Beautiful deer all. This thread just reinforces my belief that scoring antlers is a stupid practice. Awesome animals.
