A thread to test your field scoring

[BH107]

Here is my sons from this year. We found this buck in early October and really liked him even if he was a little young and light horned. Opening morning of the youth hunt came and my son turned him up about a mile from where he had been a few weeks earlier.









This one went 164” gross with a light but picture perfect frame.

Shot this buck when I was knee high to a grass hopper back in the day. Taxidermist scored him “officially” at 150&1/8. I didn’t care much about score, to me he’s a giant three point and I love him.

Love Big 3’s!!!

This buck had a solid frame and a giant body! Wasn’t much for forks, and it reflects in the score, taped him out at 146

Definitely the biggest bodied deer Ive ever stood over. 5.25” bases, decent g3s, 18.5” inside spread and 10.5” g4s helped this buck barely break the 170” mark.

This brute is my best buck to date, carried a boat load of mass and was outside his ears he taped right at 170ish once again he had a giant head and body. I need to do a better job of record keeping

I love the way Mulies have different ways of getting to a similar score. To me a 170" buck is a damn good buck and I haven't broken that mark by even an inch yet!


It seems as though, when viewing the majority of the bucks on this thread through 150-170"s that the 170" bucks are always noted to have a big head/body. Something to keep in mind when trying to evaluate on the hoof, I almost didn't pull the trigger on this year's buck which was my personal best due to the fact his head/body were so large his antlers looked proportional and nothing extraordinary... Sure glad I didn't pass him now!

Guess I’ll finally add one myself. This was my first and best. I’ve measured it several times using B&C website and it comes in at 142 without deductions. I measured multiple times because i couldn’t believe all that was hiding in such a narrow rack. If he had had some width he could’ve really been something, but im still quite proud of him

What a cool deer man. So much character.
