Bad judge of field score, how about you

257weatherby · Sunday at 9:10 PM

Here is a field photo of a buck that I harvested this year. I am curious what others think he scores.

Uttaxi1 · Sunday at 9:20 PM

I am too. But I would say 162

3x2 · Sunday at 9:23 PM

I would say the same, low 160’s.

215....

yoteduster · Sunday at 10:08 PM

High narrow bucks can fool you..I'd say 176 or so

Shadow · Sunday at 10:18 PM

He has some length, I’ll think he’ll go high 160’s, may even break 170.

MountainSqwabler · Sunday at 10:46 PM

Id say he's around the 175 range. He has great deep forks...he might be a tricky buck and go 180's.

Horniac · Sunday at 11:51 PM

Hard to get much for inside spread credit and the main beams seem to usually suffer as well on narrow framed bucks. Nevertheless, I’m going with 180 because of his height and deep forks…

i shot a buck very similar to that a few years back. he went just shy of 165. so i'll say that

low 160’s

167 5/8

CC11 · 2024-10-07T08:58:28-0600

Great backs but lacking on his fronts and spread. At first I was thinking 175ish but I'll go 168"

huntin50 · 2024-10-07T09:12:39-0600

173 gross. Great backs, no brow tines, decent front

Soccerdude · 2024-10-07T09:39:07-0600

171" but only bc 172" was taken by DBLung.

257weatherby · 2024-10-07T09:43:12-0600

Here is another picture. This deer was pretty tough to pass after I first spotted him but I am very pleased and is my biggest buck to date.

yoteduster · 2024-10-07T10:04:40-0600

Really a nice buck..I would've dropped him in a minute.I guessed 175 earlier but he might do better than that

Rie bread · 2024-10-07T10:07:04-0600

this is the next type of buck I’m looking for. Classic

sweinrich · 2024-10-07T10:25:03-0600

Mid 170

HntHrdr · 2024-10-07T10:39:31-0600

Deep forks! Not super wide though I’d put him at 172

Old Cowboy · 2024-10-07T11:19:41-0600

DeerAddiction4 · 2024-10-07T11:27:09-0600

I’m saying 178 and 6/8 because he got 178. I’ve seen a buck close to that but heavier and he was 183 I think.

178

SureShot · 2024-10-07T11:33:31-0600

My guess is mid 160s. What was your guess and what did he end up going?

Founder · 2024-10-07T11:41:48-0600

I would say around 165

TKMulePacker · 2024-10-07T12:00:45-0600

I dont think he gets to 170, not out to his ears, short main beams, not very heavy. 168. Just nit picking though, Id def have shot him without even considering the score.

iowacity · 2024-10-07T13:11:56-0600

177-182 range is my guess. Depends on the size of that deers head and ears.

wetmule · 2024-10-07T13:16:55-0600

huntindad4 · 2024-10-07T14:10:08-0600

Mass, main beam length and inside spread keep this deer out of the 170s IMO.

166

Dub · 2024-10-07T14:20:00-0600

Nice buck, I would never pass one like that. 172"

Buckjunkie · 2024-10-07T14:28:01-0600

Dr_Hunter · 2024-10-07T14:31:20-0600

Solid 172"

12pointer · 2024-10-07T14:32:29-0600

Mid 170s.

Wyogstew1 · 2024-10-07T14:50:28-0600

174 3/8

twopointdn · 2024-10-07T15:17:17-0600

My buddy killed one this year that is very similar to your buck. I am guessing his buck at 158”-161” so I would say the same for yours. I will put a tape on my buddy’s buck one of these days to see how close my guess is.

Nice buck. Congratulations. Did you get your buck opening morning of the Utah general muzzleloader hunt?

Buckfever34 · 2024-10-07T15:19:15-0600

Reminds me of this one I killed a couple years back. Interested to see what yours scores.

SDBugler · 2024-10-07T16:19:25-0600

Nice buck. I'm guessing 166.5 gross and not much for deductions on that buck.

Wiszard · 2024-10-07T16:49:52-0600

I would say he's between 165-170. He's pretty.

WHT_MTNMAN · 2024-10-07T17:01:25-0600

Looks like a smaller head/body, good forks.
Mid to high 60s. I'm guessing 167"
My first thought was low 70s but he looks like young deer.

schoolhousegrizz · 2024-10-07T17:02:11-0600

Low 170s

Killcarp2 · 2024-10-07T17:22:51-0600

Low 70’s. You gonna tell us?

Tristate · 2024-10-07T18:15:17-0600

171 5/8

2lumpy · 2024-10-07T18:24:15-0600

176”

Buckfever34 · 2024-10-07T18:39:12-0600

While we wait…

Two things about your second pic you posted:

1) my initial guess might be a little low

2) your shot placement was perfect

257weatherby · 2024-10-07T19:36:34-0600

I field guessed at 180 based on the deep forks, (I am still learning) I appreciate everyone's input and guesses. He grosses right at 175. This was shot the evening of the first day of the general muzzleloader hunt.

Daggone it. I was gonna take my initial guess to 175. Yes, I swear! Lol.

The second pic “spoke” to me way more than the live pic. I don’t know why. Neat and thank you for posting.

Joe2Kool · 2024-10-07T20:45:29-0600

I'm guessing before I read all the replies...178-3/8.

Big enough for me to shoot!

yoteduster · 2024-10-07T21:04:06-0600

Yep good buck..those narrow tall ones can be very impressive...

The second pics looks way bigger. Thank the first pic. Congratulations on a great buck.

BrowningRage · 2024-10-07T22:35:09-0600

Lots of good length, but I was only scoring him around 167". I'm guessing you were pleasantly surprised by his score too? Nice buck!!

BeDawg · 2024-10-07T23:16:57-0600

NPHunter · 2024-10-08T08:20:04-0600

Low 160’s
