redkneck Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 OK, here's one i killed on christmas day. Almost got the skull clean. Question is, using buckmasters scoring, how do you decide where to take the circumference measurements at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have no idea how buckmaster's scores deer........ Nice buck congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Nice buck, think he may go low 130's. For circumference measurements, my understanding is you go with the smallest measurement between the points, but that is with B & C, have no clue about buckmasters.

But.... was wondering at what point you take the smallest measurement for deer like this with splits/palmations like this. No big deal, most ppl down here use buckmasters though cuz it's supposed to be simple, and it is a full scoring system with no deductions. I thought it was more popular.... maybe it aint, lol. At any rate i failed to take home the awesome big buck bounty at our club ($20 x 5 members lol). Maybe next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Palmated or not, you still take the smallest measurement. That right side, my guess would be you would take the g-2 with the bladed portion and the other point of that "fork" would be about what maybe 2 inches, and measure its circumference as that being the point g-3 on that side.

hungry hunter Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 couldnt tell ya. bigger than anything i got on the wall. out local FWC will score if needed. congrats:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Well, i suppose the real question was, at what point does a point become a beam point rather than a sticker off another point? Did that sound like Dr. Seuss?.............. Anywho, i'm going to take it to my taxidermist as soon as it quits stinking to score. Will add that to the post in next week or so.

whttlbucksteve Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 If your talking about the g2 it shares a base so it is a sticker measure beam after that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of the deer's left G2, it kinda comes out of nowhere, but i see your point. We killed a couple like this this year at the camp and nobody really knew for sure how to score them.

Rhino Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) Question is, using buckmasters scoring, how do you decide where to take the circumference measurements at? I don't know anything about buckmasters scoring except they don't use spread in their scoring. Under B&C & P&Y scoring the extra point off the left G2 would count as an NT point since it's not part of the typical frame.

An additional beam would come off the beam and might or might not have additional points, but would be more parallel to the beam rather than extending like a point. Your deer has very cool character, and I could well be wrong, but I really don't think that the bladed g-2 would qualify as an additional beam.
