Title: Take a look at this antler fellas
Post by: Tom0728 on February 04, 2022, 05:32:58 PM
I've never been concerned about scoring but I'm curious with this one. I've had two run ins with this buck never could close the deal. Found one side of him. Anybody got a rough guess of score?

Good mass.  Perhaps a older buck.

OK that picture helps
Yes that's a great buck.
YouTube how to score won't take long to do it informally and you'll get a good close guess after putting a measuring tape on it
Good Hunting

If it were mine, I probably would do something like this with it.

Even though antler stew is not all that tasty, the big ones always get our attention. I played with a massive perfectly symmetrical 8 pointer this year. I had a 25 to 30 chance, but I could not see a path for my arrow through the sticks, another at about 65 yards and moving. during the late gun season he was pushed by other hunters into range and i passed. I didn't feel that it would prove anything to me to kill it. I was meat hunting, but I was thrilled to have the opportunity to watch him go across a half mile of river flats to make to a safe haven. I am getting soft and personal in my old age. I had a nice conversation with a yearling early in the season at about 15 yards. He stopped and listened to my greeting and then slowly walked away.  I wondered, did that little guy know that I had no intentions of harming him?

Why not score it yourself? Its easy to do just follow the tutorial. Assume a spread and matched set, deduct 2" just to be fair and see what it comes out to.
