Feel free to post up to 3-4 photos for the contest, but post them in separate posts, as only the first photo in each post shows up as a thumbnail above.

We'll run the photo contest for 3-4 weeks and a winner will be picked.

Here's a "trophy" buck that would be disqualified: my 1996 "half-a-buck" (a 2x0)! As there was no "spread". (Kinda like "adjustable")!

Walking up on a buck that I scouted for 3 months. Came close a couple times with by bow but could never get it done. Finally was able to help a friend get him on the last day of the muzzy hunt.

Every time I look at this picture of my 2015 buck, it reminds me how lucky I was to shoot the buck standing broadside. If he would have been running away from me with this view in my crosshairs, I would have definitely got buck fever and probably would have missed and thought that I had missed out on a 40"er.

Here's a buck I hunted a few years ago. This is on his winter range. When the sheds were picked up and laid out close to what photos were, he was 38" +- a smidge. So I'd say that buck you have a pic of is gonna be real close to 40".

Red1281 · May 20, 2020

This buck was never harvested. Sadly he died the following winter. Found him in a stackyard.

Wyo_Roadhunter · May 21, 2020

My 1st 30" inch buck, then my favorite one off the winter range

2019 Montana Buck, 27" wide if memory serves me right

Bookhead · May 29, 2020

Never understood why eveyone measures the greatest outside spread and calls their buck that wide. Outside doest have anything to do with score. Measure the inside thats how wide it is

Outdoordan · May 29, 2020

I personally could care less about the score. I like big wide heavy bucks.

Greatest outside spread has always been used in big buck contest in the past. That's just the way it's always been.

Bookhead · May 29, 2020

All the big buck contests i know of go by score so only inside spread is used. There is no scoring system that uses outside spread

Weiserbucks · May 29, 2020

I guess you're not familiar with the MM tape measure?

Bookhead said:

I can't say for other states but I know all the larger big buck contest in Utah always used the outside spread before they were banned. I bet if you did a poll, 90 percent would say they measure the outside spread when telling people how wide a buck is. That's just the way it's always been done in the west. When I shoot a big typical 4x4 plus eyeguards. I usually tell people I shot a 5x5 but most people just say a 4 point. Never a 10 pointer. Regardless how you measure, let's see more wide bucks!

Muley_73 · Jun 1, 2020

I've actually never seen a contest use an inside spread. Always the outside spread.

So you're saying you've never seen a contest go by score?

Muley_73 · Jun 1, 2020

All I have seen have been height, width ,plus points or just outside spread, or body weight. Or a mix for different prizes. But no I have not seen the "Big Buck Contest" go off of Boone and Crocket or SCI scoring systems. But that is just the Big Buck Contests I grew up seeing and following.

Bookhead · Jun 1, 2020

Weird the only ones i know of go off b&c or sci

nontypical · Jun 1, 2020

Years ago the contest at Wyoming Trucks went by B&C gross score. Before that all the contests here were what they called "box" score. Outside spread plus height( measured straight up from the skull cap) plus total number of points over 1". So I've seen it both ways, but only once was it by B&C scoring.

Bookhead · Jun 1, 2020

Our sportsmans warehouse contest is sci

Muley_73 · Jun 1, 2020

Maybe I just haven’t paid attention to recent contests. I’m more of a big buck guy than a score guy. I know they can coralate but some of my all time favorite bucks would’nt score worth a shiit. ??‍

Very impressive!

ridgetops · Jun 7, 2020

Thanks founder and everyone's support and liking my contribution. I'll be sure to share some of my skulls, once I get them mounted up. Hopefully I get one this fall.

fatrooster · Jun 8, 2020

In our Nevada contest we used to use the box score being number of points, outside width and height from skill cap. We had plenty of people mad at us because we didn't use B & C or SCI. A few years ago we changed over to SCI which uses inside spread for width.
But when me and my redneck friends are talking width amongst ourselves we talk outside spread. I like wide bucks I cannot lie. But seriously, whether you measure width to the inside or outside what does it really matter? You are just measuring air and not horn growth. Fatrooster
