What does he score?

[Headwaters]

As I have "matoored" I have come to realize that net scores are a bunch of BS. I used to be an official scorer and over time I began to realize just how many fantastic animals are disqualified for having EXTRA points or oddities! Give an animal the credit due... those points are not invisible!

If a buck tugs at your heart strings, get him. He will be on your wall or in your memories and will matter to no one else.

He is a beauty BTW.

I agree with what you said. In Va. bucks are scored and given credit for every inch of antler they've grown with no deductions.

Hey everyone - I don't have any background on guessing a deer's score. I was in a Mexican standoff with this brute a couple evenings ago and was curious what his score might be. I took a YouTube video through my spotter. Here's a photo as well for reference.

Thanks and Happy New Year.

He's an awesome buck, that's probably his best angle showing off all his attributes.. excellent mass, character.. with out a side profile it would be hard to get too fancy with score...north of 160

Judging by the picture, he’s thinking the same thing about you!
