Default Tell me what he scores....I made a mistake...I think...

I scored this deer and ended up with 142". I think that he is bigger than that and was wondering what you guys thought. I didn't really know what I was doing when I scored him, so I could have made a mistake.......[&:]

This is my dad's deer from 1988. Looks pretty good for a 20 year old mount, eh??? The taxidermist that did it is still doing mounts today and does a fabulous job.

What do you think.....???

Awsome mount, I think your score isn't far off.

That looks pretty close, but Im only going by what I have seen on TV, I would say between 145-150"

okie dokie. I guess I was pretty close....... thanks!!! My dad had always wondered what he scored for sure, and I finally scored him, but I didn't think I did it right, but now I guess it is settled. I will have to rescore him sometime and get the exact measurements.

Comparing him to my 140, he's got more mass, maybe a touch wider,and those G3's are very nice. I'd go with vabowman on 145-150". If I were to give one guess it would be 146". Great lookin mount and a very nice deer!
