RE: judging a bucks rack
What is the min. score?
I would guess it at like 125 or something in that case make sure the antlers are at the ears or wider, that it has some mass, and has 8 or more points i believe i have heard that white tails hav like 6in ears do you can use their ears to rough guess the length of tines and so forth. also these restrictions are to get you to shoot an older buck. learn how to guess age as well ive seen 2 Y/Os in the 160 but i have also seen spikes that were like 6 so just remember that for QDM to work they need to take older bucks but remember that even if a fine implies you are going on this hunt to enjoy the outdoors and have a great time, just shoot a deer you are cofortable with and that you like. i have some very big deer mounts but my favorites are the ones with unique antler for example i have a 10 point strait up that scores over 160 but i like a younger buck i killed that scored 150 with 19 points they werent long but it has more meaning than some of my bigger deer hope this helps
