Default RE: Help me learn to score bucks at a glance.

The first thing I look for is tine length. If it doesn't have any tines at least 8 inches long I don't shoot, I also look at mass, if it spindly I let it walk, in most cases it is a young deer. When in doubt if it is a shooter let it walk. I like to look through mags. and guess the scores in pics and compare. With a little practice you can get pretty good at it. One last point, Never try to score a deer from behind, they always look way bigger.
