Score question

[Tarheelsaint]

I took this buck with my bow in mid Nov. Just curious what you all will think it will score? I dropped off at taxi before i thought to do myself...thanks for your insight!

Beautiful buck...I love those gnarly antlers...

It's not going to score real high due to deductions and relatively short tines...I think it would be a stretch to score 120 (net)..

However, it would be the buck of a lifetime for many hunters, myself included ..Congrats, my friend....

I agree with Pygmy. 120ish. But that takes nothing away from a true trophy buck!!! In my hunting area, bucks like that are far and few between. Congrats on a dandy buck!

A lot of character in that head-gear! I'd be darn proud to have him on my wall regardless of score. Congratulations!

That is a cool rack no doubt , and yes 105  to 115 gross score.

Probably sit at 110. I can't see it getting to 120

I'd say mid 120's gross maybe 130, he's pretty symmetrical. Awsome deer. I bet he nets low 120's.  I have a 5x3 8pt on the wall that grossed 122 netted 111, mines taller but that buck is wider, more points, which means more measurements. Awsome deer.

I just don't see it. maybe 4" average circumference measurements. 3" G-1 and g-2's (figuring a 6" ear)  with the tallest tines 6", 15" spread, maybe 18" beams?

Awesome buck!  If I was lucky enough to have an option, I'd take ten like that, over having just one 150.  Doesn't matter what it scores,  plus an archery harvest, very cool!

Thanks everyone for the input! This is the first deer i have ever thought about putting on the wall and i have been hunting for 30 years! I appreciate how opportunities like this do not come around often. Thanks again for all your comments. Have a great holiday and good luck the rest of this season!!

The 4-9-7 rule is a good practice to hit the magical 125" mark for an 8 assuming normal mass length and spread.

10s can make up for some shortcomings to hit that mark.

My guess is it'll fall 115-120 gross.

What's the 4-9-7 rule?

CCHC beat me to it.

110

[Trial153]

Great buck.... I say about 46 as side, plus your spread so about 110 ish

[JRod 8G8H]

Beauty of a deer.. I would taxi him as well. Those gnarly bases are pretty cool, nice spread too. Looks to be 120... Congrats

Tarheelsaint,

I took this buck back in 99. Wish I had a beter picture but it is really similar to your deer. It even has all those bumps on the base of the rack. Perfect 10pt that got me in the book at 125.75. You have a nice deer there.
