Hardwood_HD Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 i think my dad has been hunting 25yrs or so but this was his first and only buck he got.. shot it in 89 i was just wondering what you guys think he would score by looking at him, i used the booneandcrocket.com website and ran the tape over him but only got 117".. he looks bigger than that to me, tell me what you think....

98chevy Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 130 but im bad at scoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tatonka Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 117 looks about right to me. Most people overestimate score from what I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonLester Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I was going to say 125 but with deductions 117 is probably right. Regardless he's a great buck. Check out my avatar thats a 153" buck. I actually guessed him lower than that. He has a 20" inside spread. Very few deductions because he's so symetrical.

toddyboman Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I would guess 120's. My guess is it scores the way it does is because: its only an 8 point....it looks to have short main beams and the tines are not extremely long.....nor is the mass really exceptional. STILL A GOOD BUCK!!! but thats my guess of why it scores the way it does :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobblerBuster618 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 wow devin i was hoping that scoring was off.. cant believe that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitly a great buck though the left side G2 has some awesome charactor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 A nice buck, but think your score of 117 is probably pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kid Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 120 hes a shooter for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I'd put him 125 or 130 gross.. with deductions around 117 is probably right though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 That's about right Devin. Ohiobucks and I came up with 119" for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyrod64 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Looks about right to me. It take an awful big set of antlers to make the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowhunter862 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 95" Now score him and post the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineyBrake Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 It is so hard to see with those pics. I guess around 100 without mass measurements. Maybe 110???? All I could go off was a average of 8 or 9 inch G2 and 3's and low 20 inch main beams and a 4 inch G1 and maybe 17 inch spread??? I could be totally off. Pics and and actually holding them in your hands are night and day when scoring! Great deer regardless... Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardwood_HD Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 i got 117 before decuctions, 110" after.. here is a pic of him by a deer my grandpa hit with his car in the 80s sometime and i scored him at 110 also, if i saw these deer in the woods i would think that my dads is a lot bigger but i guess not lol...

Hoyt03 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 nice bucks, ur dads is bigger it's only an eight the other is a 10 but they score the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airman312 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I'd say about 117"..ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I agree - 117 is a pretty reasonable estimate/measurement. Tominator, that's a fine buck - darn near a P&Y qualifier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 120s, still a great buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billygoat Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I would think that 117 is about right. People need to keep in mind, trophies come in many different shapes and sizes... I have a 115 that I cherish much more than my 150. Sentiment goes along ways when it comes to the "trophies" we have. There are not many of us who would scough that deer, there are probably fewer who would have to "nerve" to life our finger of the trigger if he walked under our stand. Many of these posts are right... it takes a heck of a lot of horn to make that cherished book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
