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.

lostinOregon · Sunday at 9:26 PM

Homer · Sunday at 9:27 PM

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

DBLung · Monday at 7:42 AM

hunt30 · Monday at 8:15 AM

low 160’s

link · Monday at 8:28 AM

167 5/8

CC11 · Monday at 8:58 AM

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

huntin50 · Monday at 9:12 AM

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

Soccerdude · Monday at 9:39 AM

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

257weatherby · Monday at 9:43 AM

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 · Monday at 10:04 AM

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 · Monday at 10:07 AM

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

sweinrich · Monday at 10:25 AM

Mid 170

HntHrdr · Monday at 10:39 AM

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

Old Cowboy · Monday at 11:19 AM

DeerAddiction4 · Monday at 11:27 AM

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 · Monday at 11:33 AM

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

Founder · Monday at 11:41 AM

I would say around 165

TKMulePacker · Monday at 12:00 PM

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 · Monday at 1:11 PM

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

wetmule · Monday at 1:16 PM

huntindad4 · Monday at 2:10 PM

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

166

Dub · Monday at 2:20 PM

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

Buckjunkie · Monday at 2:28 PM

Dr_Hunter · Monday at 2:31 PM

Solid 172"

12pointer · Monday at 2:32 PM

Mid 170s.

Wyogstew1 · Monday at 2:50 PM

174 3/8

BGHUNTER00 · Monday at 2:55 PM

twopointdn · Monday at 3:17 PM

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 · Monday at 3:19 PM

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

SDBugler · Monday at 4:19 PM

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

Wiszard · Monday at 4:49 PM

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

WHT_MTNMAN · Monday at 5:01 PM

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 · Monday at 5:02 PM

Low 170s

Killcarp2 · Monday at 5:22 PM

Low 70’s. You gonna tell us?

He'll no, he's gonna Zim the sht out of us all!!!

176”

Buckfever34 · Monday at 6:39 PM

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 · Monday at 7:36 PM

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 · Monday at 8:45 PM

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

Big enough for me to shoot!

yoteduster · Monday at 9:04 PM

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 · Monday at 10:35 PM

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 · Monday at 11:16 PM

NPHunter · Tuesday at 8:20 AM

Low 160’s

huntin50 · Tuesday at 9:02 AM

I said 173 gross from first picture, the second picture i saw eye guards or It would have been 175, wink.

Just for the heck of it 257W. Take a minute and post up a picture of your numbers, so we can judge our eyes against your tape measure. I’m really curious how far off I was on my numbers. Please.

Mallardsx2 · Tuesday at 9:32 AM

Admittedly I didn’t see the brows in the first picture. That adds 10” in score right there at a minimum. So I was 10” short but I couldn’t go back and edit my guess.

Great buck either way!

How in the heck does that add 10" more at minimum???
2"or 2.5" at best for each tine and less than an inch more of mass.

Mallardsx2 · Tuesday at 9:56 AM

^^^ Brow tine and 2 mass measurements.

Left Brow - 1"
Right Brow - 1"
Left H1- 4"
Right H1- 4"

You always get 4 mass measurements No matter what.

You don't add two more measurements if it was done correctly in the first place.
H1 measurement was doubled

Mallardsx2 · Tuesday at 10:05 AM

I can honestly say I never knew that.

I always thought if you were missing the eye guard, you only got one mass measurement there. Maybe that’s why I am historically always been 10 inches less than pretty much everyone else.

Thanks for the lesson!

I didn't mean to come across as a D****** but I was seriously wondering how 10" could be added.

I didn't know this either? So say we have a 3 point with eye guards, but the G2 doesn't split so the G3 is nonexistent, would you still get a mass measurement? If so, where would it be taken?

It's all-good man. I was wondering how it couldn't be 10"?! haha

Yes you always get 4 mass measurements. I believe you actually double the H2 measurement and you don't get one on the G2 at all. But I could be wrong, You may get one half way up the G2. I'll ask my buddy who is an official scorer or I know a few official scorers frequent this site and could clarify.

Where the hell is Homer when we need him?

WHT_MTNMAN · Tuesday at 11:51 AM

This buck I killed a few years back. I never got it officially scored but there is a good possibility that H1-H3 are all the same measurement on his right side. That is to be official. Either way it gets 4 mass measurements

WHT_MTNMAN · Tuesday at 11:52 AM

Sorry to hijack your thread 257. You shot a great buck.
Congrats.

So my buddy who is an official measurer for B&C and P&Y says the H3 measurement is taken half way up the G2.

Copy that good to know! Appreciate it and sorry for the hijack 257, but my original gut feeling was 175" before I short changed him 7"

Horniac · Tuesday at 5:40 PM

“Circumferences are taken at the narrowest place as detailed in Figure C for each measurement. If the brow point is missing, take H-1 and H-2 at the smallest place between the burr and the G-2 point. If the G-4 point is missing, take H-4 halfway between the G-3 point and the tip of the main beam.”

There you go straight from B&C…

Horniac

JakeH · Tuesday at 9:18 PM

In the case of a buck without brow tines you would take the measurement at the smallest point between the base and the G2. And then both the H1, and H2 measurements would be that measurement.

In the case of a 3 point without a g3 point (back fork) you would take the length of the g2 divide it by two and take the measurement at that point. (So 16" g2 you would take the measurement 8" from base of g2 point)

In the case of a 3 point buck with no g4 (front fork) you do the same thing, but take the measurement on the main beam between the tip of the beam, and where the g2 splits off.

Every animal gets 4 mass measurements, even a spike would lol, just get all 4 measurements at the half way point of the spike.

I'm surprised at how many people actually believe that a 3 point doesn't get all the mass measurements.

JakeH · Tuesday at 9:21 PM

Ohh, and for the record I was thinking 175 on the field photo before I seen the score posted.

Bad judge of field score, how about you
