Okay guys, that's enough replies to show the interesting thing. I have the tendency to underscore a buck because too many people have a tendency to well over score a buck. There was only one person here who really underscored him and that was Fieldmouse and there were many that gave this buck 20"s too many.

This is my neighbor/friend Scott. Many of you old timers might remember many, many years ago I posted of a friend who lost his father in a treestand accident, this is the son, my friend and neighbor. Scott was fortunate enough to take this buck a couple seasons ago.

This buck scores 134 3/8's inches.

I'm gettin' pretty good at this rough scoring thing.

[Rob/PA Bowyer]

Yeah WH, I was impressed as well as a few others, many I was shocked at.

[Washington Hunter]

I think a lot of people forget to factor in the mass when they look at a set of antlers, which is why a lot of people rough score and animal wrong.

You may think a deer is a 130-inch animal, but when you put it to tape, you find out it barely makes 115 inches.

i see what i did wrong now i overestimated his mass and didnt account for the broken tine

[Rack-attack]

134 3/8

[JoeRE]

That's why you da man Rack, I'd take your estimate as gospil...

[Fieldmouse]

Yes, first it's the rack mass that get's everone. Then it's the tine length. Before you know it, you find the buck and swear it was someone else's because your's was bigger!
