* One of the most helpful points was to know the measurements of a typical buck's head in your region.

* Another is once you have calculated the bucks guessed tine lengths, beams and inside spread, you can divide by .8 for a young buck, divide by .7 for a 3 1/2 year old buck, and divide by .6 for an older buck to get a good estimate for the score.
