Holy whopper of a buck there!!!

 

[ridgetops]

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]

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

 

[Wyo_Roadhunter]

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

Wide buck I found in 2016 in Colorado.

 

[Lhedrick1]

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

 

[Bookhead]

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]

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

 

[ridgetops]

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

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

 

[Bookhead]

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]

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

 

[ridgetops]

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

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]

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

 

[Bookhead]

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]

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

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]

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

 

[nontypical]

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]

Our sportsmans warehouse contest is sci

 

[Muley_73]

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. ??‍

So many fantastic photos of wide bucks!!!!

Time to end this contest, and the winner for the Large European Skull Hanger and a Medium angle European Skull Hanger from Dead On Display is ridgetops.

Very impressive!

 

[ridgetops]

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]

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
