RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

89 inches.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

98 1/4

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Germ told me 105 the other day.....so I'll put him in, too.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Sooooooooo...........when you going to tell us Jeff?

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

I'll finish measuring it when I get home, this evening. MY bet is.....anyone around 100 has a great guess. I don't think he'll go much over it.....if he does. Doesn't matter to me......he's my most prized bowhunting trophy, either way;)

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

That makes more sense! He didn't look like a 200lb deer field dressed. It seems everyone is not weighing them field dressed anymore. I don't get it!

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

88 5/8th, nice deer and congrats.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

89 1/8

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Lisa and I just finished measuring him. I'm happy as can be on two counts.

No. 1....He's over 100" (103-1/8")

No. 2...My buddy BuckMaster_101 was closest with 103-5/8

Here's the string (I know someone will ask)

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Nice buck. I think it may make just under 100" but it is always hard to tell unless you have the antlers in your hands to examine yourself. bigger than any buck Ive shot with a bow yet. I have missed some big uns though.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Damn nice Jeff.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

106 3/4

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

LMAO, Jeff gave the answer fella's....see my quote above.

Ya'll need to read...you know, all of it. [8D]

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Late again[:@] Cool post

hatchet Jack

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

I cant believe I actually got it, thats perty cool.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Nice buck Jeff. I was giving him to much credit in the mass dept. From the pick I was thinking better than 5 inch bases.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

I was thinking that too MOHO.

And to think, that's indicitive to the herd. That deer is at least a 4.5 year old isn't it. It shows antler depletion probably due to the over poplulation or competition for nutrition. Last years buck was probably 3.5 year old right Jeff and that buck went 106"? Clean out a bunch of those does and I'd bet the bucks can pack on some more weight and antler size with the added nutrition.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Nice buck For sure! also every " over 100 is hard to come by.


Congrads! Sean.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Thanks, guys. Chris.....He was smaller thanI remembered hum to be;):D. I actually was thinking more mass in my mind, too.....but I have a limited experience with this stuff (although I'm OK at guessing deer this size).

Rob....I hope you're right. We'll keep working on doe numbers here. Looking forward to your help, next season;).

Thanks to all who guessed. Aaron....PM me a note with your charity choice......or let me know if you don't know one. I know a great oe that's local.;)

Merry Christmas.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Dang it, im too late. I was gonna guess 101 1/8, same as the one i killed this year. Man that buck looks familiar :D

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Hey Dan....

Merry Christmas!:)

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

When are you going to have them officially scored by the NC club?

They have to net out over 100 for your states record book?

Be sure to let us know when you get them scored....

I had all your tine lengths bascially spot on..... I was off on your MB's, mass measurements and the inside spread.

I gave you 15 inch beams, a 14 inch inside spread and 24 total inches of mass.

Funny I can guess big bucks within 2-3 inches most every time but struggle with your southern deer :D;)

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

I have no idea of whether it's gross or net for the NCBA....OR whether I'll get it scored or not. You see......it REALLY isn't that big of a deal, Scott.

Yeah it is funny.:):D Every deer I post up here....you miss by 15 inches or so.

I told Lisa there would be one person to question my scoring. I nailed that AND who it would be.

Merry Christmas

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

I hope you are not accusing me of questioning your scoring.... I stated where my guesstimations were not the same as your measurements....

Stop being so paranoid.... Everyone is not out to get you like you think. Stop trying to make an episode out over little things you "think" are going on..... Especially on this one...

Ihave next to no experience scoring smaller racks.... My inexperience shows by being off on your deer.

Have a great Christmas.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

I don't think it's being paranoid, Scott. It's only paranoid if you're imagining things. I called this one. It doesn't bother me in the least, though.

Merry Christmas.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Call what you want.... No matter what I would have posted you would have taken itthe way you wanted to because you already had your mind made up....

I have never questioned a deers score on the open forum (like you have)... I have no reason to I could care less what your deer scores.... Honestly, really... I dont care.

On a side note I have been working on a post / journal entry on scoring a rack... Perhaps you can accuse me of making it over your deers score as well? It will be up sometime this weekend. I have all the photos taken already, I just need to do the write up.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

I'm just telling you the truth, Scott. I told LIsa, last night.....exactly what would happen. You didn't dissapoint.

Merry Christmas, Scott.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Whatever dude. Lay off the Kool aid.....

So, remember thatPM I sent you the other day? Basically, congrats you just made my first ever "ignore". Not worth the aggravation. I have better things to do than bicker with you. Cheers!

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Funny....you're in MY thread....and "I" am trying to bicker with "You"??????

Now who's paranoid. You didn't have to come here in the first place.

Merry Christams, Scott.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

I say this objectively with no intent to dimish Jeff's buck.I am surprised that the scoring is as high as it is.I would have guessed in the 90 inch range.
The bottom line is that it really doesn't matter,the excitement of the hunt and the effort that went into it and the satisfaction afterwords are all that matter!
I have said a number of times you really can't appreciate a rack unless you are either holding it or observing it very closely.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Guys, it's really difficult to score a rack via picture on a computer. Monitors are different, colors aren't the same....sometimes the rack is "stretched" or "shrunk", depending on the monitor.

I really think Scott was just asking questions to educate himself, I don't think he was questioning the score, just trying to learn.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

I intended for this thread to be about a "for-fun" way to give some money to a charity.

That's it. Lisa and I scored the rack. It is what it is. I'll never post one in the forums, again (Guess this score). I see where it goes (with mine). I make no money or recieve NO accolades....if it were 120" or 90". It si what it is.

Peace. Merry Christmas.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

How does Lisa feel about this whole ordeal!!??[:-]


I hope that everyone will get over it the best that they can! :eek:

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

And the "other" one I called......checks in.

2 for 2!:D

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Sorry man, I didn't question your score, just the weight.

Hint: If you pack them with sand ( like fish), you can get them to weigh whatever you want.


Now I'll question your score. Your mass measurements seem a bit high, no more than an inch per side though.

Did you use the smallest measurement at the correct place for taking the measurement?

Go check with Lisa and get back to me.[8D]

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

That's perfect. I'm not paranoid.

Merry Christmas.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

The drift wood was a great idea, looks great ;)

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

Hey Jeff, I really like that buck. That is a great rack especially for North Carolina. I know in my area most people do not see deer like that. I am glad you got it and would be proud of a deer like that as well. I would have guessed 110" on it.

RE: Another "Guess the Score"
 

I am going to say a 88 7/8"
