Photo judging thread #2

[Lukem]

I like 2Rocky's idea, the more we can look at the better. I'll contribute: 2008 SD Rifle. I'll post up score in a few days.

 

[HUNTMAN]

76 gross 74/5/8 net. Great lope.

 

[velvetfvr]

71" is my guess

 

[JasonGNV]

78"

 

[NVCHUKAR]

80"

 

[Nick Muche]

That is a fatty! Nice buck and the kicker is that it's from SD of all places, very cool!

77"

 

[Lukem]

Got some good guesses! Want to take any shots at the specifics? Prong, length, mass to help give guys an idea of what you're all looking at?

 

[2rocky]

6" prong
14inch length
6" base
6 2/8 D2
4" D3
3" D4

78 inch Pronghorn..

 

[velvetfvr]

71" is my guess

The reason I guessed this is because he looks like his horns aren't that tall to me. Like I don't think 14" tall but if they are, then I need to work on my judging more.

 

[JasonGNV]

I'm with 2rocky on measurements except I'm thinking the prongs go over 6". Everything else sounds pretty close to what I'm looking at.

 

[Lukem]

Some excellent guesses. 2rocky you're pretty good. I couldn't find the original sheet, but he grossed 79 6/8 with 2 inches of deductions. I rescored him quick to get the specifics and came to 76 7/8 instead of 77 6/8 net. I'm sure the difference is in shrinkage of the d1 and d2.

Horn length: 13 4/8
D1: 6 6/8
D2: 6 7/8
D3: 4 0
D4: 2 7/8
Prong: 5 2/8

I'm sure the discrepancy over the years was shrinkage in the first two circumferences. I remember him being over 7 for all four of those originally. He's just euroed and the sheaths aren't secured to the cores to prevent them from shrinking.

This buck is a good example that horn length is a small part of the score.

Wow he really surprised me. Maybe when I actually find one I think is 80" will be closer to 90 hahaha

Here is a pronghorn that I just scored. Anyone want to take a stab at it or do I need different pics?

 

[Lukem]

Caps and euros are tough, but with a little quick math I'll guess 76.

This was given to me so I have no other pictures except just taking them.

SD has some decent lopers. Crappy pic of my 3 from SD...only pic I have available at work.

No worries. They lose a lot of bulk without hide. Makes judging mass difficult

Attachment isn't working, try again, would love to see some more SD speedsters.

 

[Frosty82]

Let's try this again;

 

[Lukem]

Awesome. All great goats, top one is a stud, love the character of the middle. Seen a few of those misshapen ones out there but never had a chance to take one. Thanks for sharing!
