fishhunt247 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 i WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT THESE THREE DEER WOULD SCORE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfarmer Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 its always hard to do in pics.. but the biggest up top maybe 170-175B&C The smaller one in the top pic 125B&C The bottom buck... maybe 155-160B&C its just gonna depend on how much mass is there.. im sure some others here can give you better ideas. I may be way off but those would be my guess without going into to much detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 The big one in the first pic is close to a booner, I'd say at least 165 or bigger. The smaller in the first pic I think would top out around 125-130. The one in the second pic is 150s my guess, he has good length and a lot of points but the lack of mass hurts him for sure. Very nice deer:D;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 First pic the bigger buck is in the mid to upper 160's. The closer deer in the first pic might make the 120 range, hard to tell from that pic. Deer in the second pic has some very cool character but his antlers are not very heavy, think he may go in the upper 140's, maybe making it to 150.

Buckhunter76 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 sorry to dissapoint ya, but ive scored deer about 14 years and id say the biggest around 130 to to 140, it takes alot more bone than that to score 170 or 180, lol, and the spread isnt wide enough for that kinda score, even the tines arent long enough, and the little guy maybe 110 or 115, if your lucky, i had a buddy that thought he had a wopper and it green scored at 122, and it was wider than the big one in the above pic, not quite the points, an nice 8pointer, boy was he disappointed, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckhunter76 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 dont get me wrong hes got good potential, let him go for a couple more years, he'll be really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter109 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 no way this deer is 160 to 180 my dad shot the 8 pointer buckhunter was talking about and it suprised every one what it scored well thats it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Not too sure about the big ones, however, the small one 115 at tops. Probably much smaller. the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfarmer Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 sorry to dissapoint ya, but ive scored deer about 14 years and id say the biggest around 130 to to 140, it takes alot more bone than that to score 170 or 180, lol, and the spread isnt wide enough for that kinda score, even the tines arent long enough, and the little guy maybe 110 or 115, if your lucky, i had a buddy that thought he had a wopper and it green scored at 122, and it was wider than the big one in the above pic, not quite the points, an nice 8pointer, boy was he disappointed, lol I score deer for friends also and I'm usually +-2inches when I add them up compared to the official scores, but thats in person. But that first deer without a doubt is going over 140! Well over 150. Granted he's not a monstor, but his gross is going to be in the 160's atleast. Width doesnt matter either. It helps but a good perfectly even narrow, tall tines buck will add up inches FAST! Also, alot of record deer are under 20inches in width. Hunter10, its going to take long tines or alot of mass for a 8pt to score well. Since he's missing 4 measurements compared to a perfect 10frame. Ill edit my scores slightly but here they are again Top 162 gross non typical 148-150net little buck 115 gross 110net maybe? bottom 150 gross since he's got perfect 10 with long MB's. Now after deductions he will probably only see 135 net typical. gross and net are totally different things and I always go by gross since I want to know how much gear he has total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter109 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 that deer dont score as much as you think i mean i seen some deer last year that would make that look like a baby well it might score 120 to 130s well i have been hunting for a good while now and i have only seen a couple that would score 170 to 180 i mean we have a lot of deer here just a lot of does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be much fun if the first guy had it pegged within a quarter inch everytime and everyone agreed. With that said, usually do fairly well at guessing scores, rare I am more than 5 inches off but could very well be on that first one. That deer does have some mass, would really surprise me if it was under 155 gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter109 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 well my dad shoot a big 8 two years ago and every one was saying it scored in the 140s 150s and it was biger than that one and it suprisded use when it only green scored at 122 1/2 inches well now what man i think you need some glasses that dont scor over 120 -130 at all it ant going to score maybe 115 or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 The bigger deer in the 1st pic will gross pretty nice but net poorly. Gross about 155". The smaller deer in the pic might go 105" or so. Bottom pic around 133"-137" gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that deer's ear is 7" look at the brow. That G-3 is in the 10 to 12" range. Add it up. I agree it's not a Booner, but it's definitely over 150 gross. The deer in my signature scored 153 gross, officially scored. that deer dont score as much as you think i mean i seen some deer last year that would make that look like a baby well it might score 120 to 130s well i have been hunting for a good while now and i have only seen a couple that would score 170 to 180 i mean we have a lot of deer here just a lot of does well which deer are you talking about well that top deer is going over 130 no problem the little 8 with him I agree won't go over 120 the bottom one is approaching 130 or so gross well my dad shoot a big 8 two years ago and every one was saying it scored in the 140s 150s and it was biger than that one and it suprisded use when it only green scored at 122 1/2 inches well now what man i think you need some glasses that dont scor over 120 -130 at all it ant going to score maybe 115 or so well which deer are you talking about and well if you tell someone they need glasses use a smiley guy if you're kidding -----> otherwise you're going to start a fight well thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Biggest at top: 161 gross 148 net (non-typical) Smallest at top: 126 gross 120 net (typical) Bottom: 154 gross 140 net (typial) I'm generally off 5-10 inches on the guessing game (still like to play) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) 1st buck (I'm with fly) - 161 gross NT 2nd buck (smallest) - 123 gross 3rd buck - 148 gross NT Nets are for fish & record books. I've been scoring deer for about 20 years now and spread only counts for about 10% of the gross score for book class bucks. Wide spreads look good but it's the least important number when it comes to scoring big ones. To discount a big buck's score heavily based on his lack of a wide inside spread is just flat wrong. I have one buck entered in B&C that officially has a 17 1/2" inside spread. His official entry score is 184 2/8 gross, 175 1/8 net typical.

They think its the biggest in the world. Also, when they see a deer bigger than theirs, they fine anything wrong with it and think its small LOL. Rhino, well said!! I saw the spread comments also and a narrow rack bucks gonna rack up points quicker than a wide spread deer. Its all about perfection, tine length, mass, and MB's.. spread doesnt do hardly anything for score. but those who are saying the top ones gonna score 120 need to take a few classes on scoring. If thats a 120buck, then all of mine that scored in the 130's must be 95 score B&C bucks LOL. hunter109, Ive got a 132B&C(156 va score system) 8pt on the wall(he's the middle buck in my sig) and that top buck trumps him big time on the inches department. Now that small 8pt in the top isnt even a shooter in my book. Im not sure which you are talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan hit the nail on the head as I learned last season.This Buck had an inside spread over 20 inches yet only grossed 131. I'll post the pic for the new guys.
