Help Estimating Score From Camera

[Jhadley1]

This fellow started showing up, and these are still the two best photos.

I was trying to get a rough estimate of the scoring, but I’m still very green on scoring one sitting in front of me, let alone estimating from a picture.

Any help or tips? I know ears are usually about 8 inches here. 170+?

I think u are pretty dead on with your guess, maybe a touch high but probably not much

Am I correct you lose measurement when the main beam comes back together at the tips?

Not sure but you should kill him and find out!

Download chat gpt then upload the pic to it. Have it score it. Honestly it's surprisingly accurate. Sometimes it'll be on crack. But I'd honestly say it's about 90%.

Not really. You would only lose measurement when the spread is larger than the main beam.
What you’re thinking about is the “spread credit” measurement ie: main spread. As long as it is equal to or less than the main beam length then you can use the spread measurement. If the spread exceeds the main beam length, then you need to use the main beam length for your calculation.

138"-143" just my guess at it

This is wicked. Just tried it, it was within 5” on multiple photos of the same deer.

Chat gpt said 130 and wouldn't budge on it.

He looks similarly sized to my wife’s Texas buck from last season. He measured right above 145”

I would guess him around 165”

Its not "could you" but "should you". I see an amazing genetics young deer there, pushing hard on 160" GNT. Fronts are weak and his mass will shrink terribly when the fuzz goes off. But that neck says youngster to me as does his nose and face.

Listen to the hunt backcountry podcast from a week or so ago. They had the guys from HornScore on. They have an app that scores from photos.
