fly Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 The guessing thread from December: http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103047 The timing worked out pretty good on this one. I shot this buck on December 17th 2010. The St. Louis Deer Classic was this weekend and I had him measured Friday February 18th (barely made the 60 day drying period). His official score came to 127 7/8 inches (gross score). I had measured him at 130 4/8 inches. I compared my measurements and it looks like he shrunk some over the past couple months. No single measurement was off a lot, just small amounts on each that add up. Looks like magnatecsteve was only 1/8 inch off the official score. Nice buck! Congrats! Im gonna guess 128 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Cold Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Very nice Fly! My buck was scored and scored 126 5/8 inches and grossed 137 1/8 inches! He had just over 10 inches in deduction. My first ever Pope & Young! Woot Woot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Very nice Fly! My buck was scored and scored 126 5/8 inches and grossed 137 1/8 inches! He had just over 10 inches in deduction. My first ever Pope & Young! Woot Woot! Thanks everyone. That is so cool Steve! Glad you got your first in the book. I remember my first, it was a great confidence booster and sense of accomplishment. I've got several deer on the wall now that go P&Y and when I told some people I was getting this years deer mounted they asked me why "since it didn't make Pope and Young". I then go into my dissertation response and after an hour thay are sorry they ever asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzy1 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 this is why p&y and B&c scoring is crap,give the deer credit for what it grew.10" of deductions...That's a great deer no matter what the offical score is, CONGRATS!!!!
